With mixed weather for the whole of the summer holidays, I find my memory is fogged (if you will excuse the pun) with mizzly, muggy and rainy days, when in fact the visitor book is filled with messages telling me the weather was actually pretty good. If the bad weather swept in, they just hit the galleries, museums, coffee shops and attractions.
Visitors have arrived saying they watched the forecasts with trepidation before they left home. 'Don't believe the forecast', I say, and each week they return home with tans and smiles and that indicates whatever doom and gloom the weatherman has predicted it has been a successful, if unpredictable summer.
Now that the kids are back at school, and soon the dogs will be allowed back on all the beaches all day, thoughts turn to warm seas and autumn sun. These next couple of months are always the quickest to get booked in our own holiday let, and as I look out my window at blue skies and bright sunshine (yes, I know it was foggy yesterday) I can see why.
