A Shetland Heatwave

While the rest of Europe roasts, we, in Shetland, are not.  I think the sun might shine a bit on Tuesday but I am not holding my breath.  We might have had our summer a few weeks back.  It was very nice.

To be honest, though, I am not a huge fan of heat and excessive sunshine, which is possibly one of the many reasons I live in Shetland.

And, as the sheep are not yet sheared, hot weather would be miserable for them too.  So we are all happy that the wind blows and it is fairly cool – cool enough for us to mutter things like “perhaps we should turn the heating back on” in the evening.

When it gets hot, I will let you know.

I expect everyone will let me know too.

And obviously I will consult my 5 weather apps just in case.

    I quite agree with you – very hot is too hot! We’ve been having 20 degrees in Yorkshire, a bit too toasty for me but bearable. Our house is always cool in Summer. It’s one of those old, not very well insulated houses, thank goodness. The modern – ahem – “well insulated homes” are unbearably hot when the thermometer creeps up a little. Not for me!
