News that the 2003 European summer was abnormally hot. No kidding, I remember, and Ian had to sleep with ice blocks on his head, he was that heated up 
This comes on news the other week that the soil is warming up and so increasing the rate at which the climate is changing. Predictions that the summer of 2003 will be considered a cold one in years to come. And that the seasons are slowly drifting, September and October are warming up. But, winter will become wetter rather than colder and snowier 
What's surprising for me, garden wise, is that I've tomato plants growing away, outside, and it's nearly October Anyone for chutney ?
