Phew! What a scorcher!

This evening we decided to escape the overpowering heat of the Merse and head down to the Costa del Tweed at Spittal. Just to show how different the temperatures were it was reported by the thermometer in the car that it was 29°C as we left the house and as we drove the 15 miles or so to the coast at Spittal it dropped to a much more bearable 17°C at the coast. Papergirl not happy at all, shivered and retreated to the shelter of the sea wall. Paperboy and son left to throw a large number of stones into the sea alone, unbothered by the 'cold'.

Returned home and it had dropped to 26°C. Lovely.
