rwrylsin and I are back from Stratford-upon-Avon. In brief : Drove down Friday, strolled through town. rwrylsin fenced on Saturday, and afterwards we wandered around town some more. Today, we left, saw Warwick Castle and Kenilworth Castle, then headed for home. Now, we're back, and fed, and rwrylsin is getting organised for heading down to London tomorrow evening, where she'll be attending a training course until Friday. Meanwhile, I'm on call for work this week - hopefully it'll be quiet !

It looks like we left "Down South" (although Stratford-upon-Avon is probably considered "up North" by a lot of people) just before the thunderstorms and things, and the weather was reasonable all the way back.
I caught a very brief weather forecast on TV, though, which referred to some sort of records being broken in Scotland today, weather-wise ... but what ? I can't seem to find any useful sites with discussion of weather observations for the past day or week or so. The Met Office site is, as ever, unhelpful. It seems that Glasgow reached 26 today - maybe that's a record for September ? Who knows - again, can't find out from the Met Office site.
