Many underestimate the Scottish sun! Whilst we don’t get the oppressive heat that some of you chaps get on a fairly regular basis, it is apparently the lack of air pollution———-not all of Scotland believe this!————that makes our sun so powerful.

If it is of any comfort to you we are at present , as I type, in the midst of yet another pretty powerful storm system with strong winds and heavy rain. The weather has this year been dogged by storm after storm and those of us in the agricultural world here would dearly love to see the back of this year!

We were watching the weather forecasts and it seemed we were leaving just in time! (We all flew out of Glasgow Airport on Sunday.)

It looked like rain all week, and maybe the week after that.

When I arrived at John Wayne Airport (Orange County, California) at 10pm it was 24c and it will get up to 34c today. I'm piping for a funeral at the hottest part of the day.
