    The water keeps the air cool - when the sun shines the land warms up and draws in cool air from the sea, which is possibly the most dangerous situation for the unwary, they end up with dreadful sunburn, the colour of lobsters and often delerious with heatstroke having spent hours outside with a low factor sunscreen and no hat. The local sand is very pale too, so highly reflective.

    The climate here is mild, and the area was considered suitable for retirement. There are places where palms and tender plants have been put out in gardens, and they survive long enough to flower some years - very different from the North of England where even now they have hard frosts and long periods of cold weather.

    Oh, wow! I didn't realise that there was much climatic diversity at all in Britain. Thanks for sharing, Anne.
