I can unfortunately relate - I'm located in the 'grass-is-greener-here' Netherlands -

of course it's green, it gets watered all too regularly Rolling Eyes

(though I have to admit today's spectacular - hopefully this high pressure's heading your way and you'll get some sun tomorrow;))

To Glenlivet: AUGURI! Congratulations, well done, and can I just say that I'm glad Italy got you and not Spain!! I am so excited for you, and I hope everything goes to plan. I'm sure you'll be letting us know how you get on.

Spiral: after 30+ temps it has now cooled down. Sth about an anticyclone from Spain. Just as it was beginning to be beach weather too... Where are you exactly in NL, anyway?

I used to think it was quite funny, when I lived in the English Lake District, to hear tourists (usually Americans - sorry!) saying "it's beautiful but doesn't it ever stop raining?". Green and pleasant land with LAKES!!! Of course it bloody rains Twisted Evil

Thanks TiR. Can't wait to load up the van and get on the road again - it's been a long 3 years. We've been watching the Giro, the WEATHER!!!! Interesting watching them going into Bergamo - did I say can't wait??

Blimey, you guys need a chat function!

Maastricht is lovely Spiral. Perhaps the nicest city in NL?? At least the people there are the loosest, most laid-back of the lot. I once taught a couple of guys from there - typical Limburgers and a very healthy two-fingered kind of attitude towards the uptight "Calvinist to the underpants" Dutch of the north... Phew - a long sentence, but hope you'll forgive.
