We were away in the Netherlands for three weeks last month. People there have always been able to watch the BBC there so every day we could see from the weather forecasts that as soon as we left Scotland the temperatures soared to crazy heights, as high as 30 Celsius some days. Typically until we left the UK the weather in Fife had been really cold and wet – luckily we were also experiencing good weather in NL too, but I was realy worried about my garden getting totally frazzled. but when we got home everything was fine, if untidy and overgrown, it looked like the place had exploded!
