Well if that is true it would be good, but a pinch of salt might be required

A pinch of salt Simon? Really, ye of little faith!

Anyway, I've checked with Ayse, and he's confirmed it, wall to wall sunshine and not a drop of r*** this year...

James is absolutely correct. No salt involved at all. Make sure you pack plenty of suncream and a floppy hat. It's going to be sooooo sunny....

No, I have it on good authority that James is only packing shorts, t-shirts, flip-flops and a hat!

I do hope you are right James - however it seems over the years whatever the first long range forecast 'inaccuweather' say the reality is usually the opposite!

My dear LM friends, do not worry I know for a fact it is going to be a warm one this year. After all those years, I believe it was 2005 finally a hot one.
Thank you James for starting the thread, as I was far to busy with work and driving my 95 GT2 winner, I completly forget to start it 4 weeks in advance.
Remember all, the R... word is not allowed and Ayse will punisch you if you use it.

They're fantastic, along with an array of other sea creatures. One of the rainy evenings last year Carrefour did us a spectacular fruits de mer platter which was highly worthwhile.

Appreciate they're not for everyone, but that just leaves all the more for those of that do indulge...
