Weather madness

Whilst Britain has had the wettest summer on record, here we have had the driest. Britain had a month's rain falling in a single day. We had a brief shower yesterday, the first in 3 months, which reduced the temperature from 40C/104F to a balmy 28C/82F.

And we are only 1,000 miles away.

They should have held the Notting Hill Carnival in Umbria and broadcast it to those huge Olympic TV screens.
