Hi Phil nice to hear from you again and hope you enjoy yourself when you get here. Plenty will be so jealous of your planned visit.

I suppose I say beautiful England despite the -5c because I am looking out the window, rather than having to cope with the cold, which actually doesn't help our chronic osteoarthritis one little bit.

But hey, still beautiful England! lol

I forgot to ask...why do some inns & hotels in England offer air conditioning?  Even in Shropshire.
I think the simple answer to that Linda-Mary is that most Americans expect it.

Well, Ron, it would seem Americans need to do some homework about the British Isles before they catch  the plane to London.  Since Dad was from England I had an idea it would be cool (just the way I like it).

However, Commentators at Wimledon told us more than once that it was 37c in London.  Now that calls for air conditioning.

Thanks Ron, I do feel better today.  I've been scouting accommodation in England here on POE.  I'm going to book all our cottages and some hotels right here on "the Mother Ship" lol.  Wouldn't dream of going elsewhere.

Sounds like you have fine weather for people who don't have arthritis.

It's in the low 23's c now .  If we keep these high temperatures it's likely we'll get little or no rain this year.  Not good for the crops.  And veggies will go sky high.  Next season we plan to grow our own vegetables.  I wish we had soil such as England has.

 By the way, why aren't other members posting on here?  Think it's time for a new thread?

Hello James, nice to see you out and about.

The forecaster and I were both wrong.  It chucked it down off and on all day until an hour ago..  So perhaps the rainy season has finally begun.

James, how's your weather?Innocent

Hi Linda-Mary. Wall to wall blue sky here right now, but cold! Sun shining makes it look good though!

We have snow  !

This is the first real moisture in months, so even though the roads are slick (and I hate driving in the snow), its a real blessing.

As I've said before, no snow in winter is trouble for us desert dwellers during the summer.
