I liked the Amalfi coast while we were there, the only fly in the ointment is the volcano just down the road, Venice was too hot, 40-45 degrees when we were there, my Good lady and our eldest were visibly wilting as the day wore on.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
I like the warmth, but not to hot. I don't mind the cold, it's the rain that is depressing for me.

Some parts of South of France can be surprisingly cold in winter, been in Orange and Narbonne in January, quite a bit of snow. Lived in Gibraltar for a year, again, surprisingly cold, in winter.
I think the disadvantage of the Uk climate is it’s unpredictability. Whilst “exciting” it does make planning difficult.

Why??? Do you enjoy 100°+ when you are walking/cycling.
A pleasant mid 70s is fine for me.
Yes. Generally far better than we get in the north west.

Well I've cycled I the -15°C* to 42°C range, with little problem..
*Still air temperature.
I will make a loaf in a few days......I have a seeded loaf already open and I need to finish most of that first.
As I have......but it was hard work.
We uses to take our bikes when on holiday in south of France. We did it and we enjoyed it but I wasn't 76 yrs old then.🙂

well - yesterday was difficult at time
Christening of 2 people from my wife's family - on 3 year old and his Mum
WHich is fine
Had to pick up an elderly aunt and her daughter on the way - aunt is 92 and still quite lively - to say the least - but not too good on her feet
Anyway - at the "do" after - in a wonderful country pub somewhere around Blackburn - the 2 of them - plus my wife - had quite a few glasses of wine
My wife was a bit drunk but fine (I'm used to her!!!) but the daughter of the aunt was getting p****d by the second glass and got worse over the afternoon
Naturally - and as always - I was driving so couldn;t drink
3 drunk women can get a bit wearing after several hours
especially when they are all giving direction on the way home and not one of then could get left and right the right way round!!!
(note - my wife does that anyway - but again I am used to her - a few years ago we arrived at a roundabout and her directions were "UP" - her sister once said "DOWN" when she was giving directions - I think it is genetic!!)
Anyway - her son arrived this morning with the 3 year old - we are on kid duty today - picking the eldest up after school and look after them until the parents get home - some time after tea.
busy day probably!

You have my understanding and empathy . Those among us , who are males and are exposed to driving a drunk women carload, have to suffer the vagaries' of female lunacy and hormonal meltdown . I have been there . I did not enjoy it and felt sorely tempted on more than one occasion to pull into the kerb, turf the whole bloody lot of them out and drive away.
