There are great concerns in England over temperatures that are running to 30C and sometimes higher. Although it's difficult if you're not accustomed to it, I love it. After Greece, 30C is a warm day and getting close to swimming weather. (The Guardian: UK heatwave shows few signs of abating)
lefty has said I'm due for a 'landing' and that's more like a crash landing as the temperature will drop and I'll be crying but I'm sure enjoying it now. I shouldn't say anything and risk jinxing my travels but I haven't got wet yet and I may just make it to Edinburgh without a soaking. We shall see!
I'm just hanging about for a few days with lefty and Mrs lefty as they're charming people and it's lovely to have this time to spend with them. After coming nearly three thousand kilometers, it's quite nice to hang about with friends before pushing on with the final segment of the journey. I had never met Mrs lefty or even knew much about her but she couldn't be nicer and she and lefty have been so wonderfully hospitable. The only worry here is overstaying my welcome.
Mrs lefty even washed my clothes and I thanked her but she said the washing machine did it. I told her, well, the washing machine didn't dry them and she said the sun did it. This is how they are, lovely people!
Right now the Edinburgh Jazz and Blues Festival is taking place and that would have been pretty cool but I wouldn't have missed this time with lefty and Mrs lefty for anything. (The Scotsman: A quick guide to the Edinburgh Jazz & Blues Festival 2013)
From here, near Manchester, it will be two days to get to Edinburgh so I will definitely be there within the week.
