Any of those in the UK government who thinks we are all lolling around in the heat in Spain, where the WFP is not needed, would like to spend the night in my villa, especially after showering in my bathroom, which is cold enough to store the Christmas turkey ?
Roll on Christmas in the UK, in a centrally heated, well insulated house!

Us to, if it starts getting cold, we are moving downstairs.
Got a log fire down there as well as the central heating. Toasty.

Nothing that a pair of double gusseted knickers and a string vest couldn't sort out.

The night-time temperature dropped to single figures here last night after a long mild spell. Sadly we don't have a woodburner, so I shall spend the next three months in M&S Heatgen thermals worn under black fleecy jim-jams. Sexy eh?

We went to see a local production of Blood Brothers last night. Towards the end of the show thunder could clearly be heard and it set off the Dockyard alarms.
On leaving the building it was hissing it down with enough hail to make it appear to have been snowing, the pavements were treacherous.
No choice but to walk the 800 metres home, arriving like drowned rats.

One of the best things we ever brought out from the UK for our house was a heat/light fitting for the bathroom - not the prettiest thing in the world, but ideal if you're not reforming a bathroom from scratch and don't want to spoil the tiling by fitting a panel heater or heated towel rail. I hate shivering when getting out of the shower!
