Summer in London is great for about two days - then it gets sticky and airless, and I long to be up in Ossy.

What I REALLY hate is getting a miserable, cold, grey, Summer, not a proper one at all. Having to wear a cardie every day in July/August is miserable. HOT is what we want.

The other thing is midges/gnats/mosquitoes - they ADORE me, I hate them, and have terrible reactions (swellings the size of dinner plates, etc) - I don't like having to cover myself with jungle strength insect repellent just to sit in the garden with a gin! Think I'll start a thread ......
