in the UK ... but not here at The Old Smithy Inn at Darracott, near Welcombe, in Devon. This is at 14:19 BST, and an extensive thunderstorm has been rumbling around for about an hour, bringing cloud down to ground level, and the drizzling has almost stopped. I guess the temperature has only reached about 22 deg C all day, but at Heathrow in London 36.7 deg C has been reported. I had a splendid lunch (with a pint of local real ale). The menu is interesting - not cheap, but high quality (you get what you pay for), and portions are substantial, so be hungry!
