lol ...the funny thing is that, back in 1995, I came to cornwall, it was july. I made my trip from the "sunny Italy": plane to London, coach (during the night) to penzance with a crying baby on my left, local bus to Land's end... some walk on the beautiful coastline. Totally exausted I decided to rest in front of the ocean with a soft and fresh breeze, I fell asleep at 2PM, when I woke up, at 6PM, my skin was burned :P Not bad, uh? coming from italy to get a burn in UK. This was part of my travel to sunny cornwall Nice view btw... and, if it can comfort you, it's snowing here also. vasq
