Cornwall.
We had a few warmish days, a few humid days , but never anything
that
hot!


Where in Cornwall? I know Cornwall's weather can vary considerably.

The bit that always seemed to have rain clouds over itg.

Seriously, some people class us as north Cornwall, others SE cornwall.
Around Bodmin Moor.


Well I know Cornwall has trees growing horizontally and the grass is always
green but I never realised the difference in the weather could be so much. I
was down there at Marazion in '76 and it was certainly hot there then.
Here in West London it's been a wonderful summer, only two or three days
when it rained a bit, otherwise sun and more sun, very hot, over 100°F one
day, and the bluest sky's I've ever seen in the UK.
As for the allotments, peas gave up completely, Runner Beans also didn't
like the heat but are now flowering well, spuds grew well but still a lot of
slug damage on some despite using Nemaslug. Best carrots ever (Long Red
Surrey), Tomatoes doing well too, brassicas growing well although
caterpillars are rife this year. So it's some wins and some losses.

Moan, me, never.
