Re: Scotlands weather

As I write this it is raining! However we have had the most amazing summer with temperatures of 29 and 32 degrees. Almost too hot to work outside. Whilst these floods were happening on the neighbouring island we were fine. These rainfall statistics don't really give the right picture as we had a lot...

I'm Back!
