Hot & Cold

The ports we visited during our holiday in the western Mediterranean had lunchtime temperatures in the very acceptable mid to upper twenties. We now have to adapt to life on....

....the bleak coastline of eastern Sutherland where we're thrilled if the mercury hauls itself above 16C, but at least this area seems to have escaped....

....the avian carnage along the beaches of Aberdeenshire to the south of us, where over a thousand dead seabirds have been collected for disposal in the last few days. On our local beach we found just one, this sad gull. On the positive side too we're not facing the prospect of runaway temperatures of the sort being experienced at the moment in places we visited in Spain and Italy only a few days ago, where people are broiling in temperatures over 40C.
