Sheila,
We will be in Scotland next May celebrating our 50th birthday and my twin sister is already worried about how her hair will look during the trip. I don't know why she cares - nobody over there would know if she was having a good hair day or not! (She's probably worried about whispered comments - "Look at that poor bedraggled American woman over there...."

Mucky, very funny
Sheila, darlin, I just spent the hottest stickiest weekend in Savannah Georgia and I was longing for a shivery chilly damp day that I could bundle up in a sweater and sit before a fire (or in your case a BBQ)
My dad is on his way to St Andrews to play golf again, poor mad man!

Well, if this year's typical I'm emigrating!!
It's now late June and today has been warma nd a bit sunny; we now have thunder and lightning with a Met Office warning of flash floods.
I kid you not!

Blimey, woman, pour yourself a tumbler of Bombay Sapphire and pull yourself together!!! No self-respecting Scot would ever go to pieces over a wee bit of damp.

Did I say I was going to pieces???
But, seriously, this is bloody ridiculous. It must be stopped.
This morning has dawned bright and clear, albeit cold- 7.5 degrees at 6am.
And I have booked a week's holiday to the west at the end of July, 3 days of which will be in Port Charlotte, Islay, Airlawgirl, a mere stroll from Bunnahabainn and Islay's other 6 working distilleries.

Burn some cow, toast some pig, swill a little gin . . . what's weather got to do with it? When it's hot, the perspiration seasons the meat, and when it's cold, just move a little closer to the coals and add habanero or Scotch Bonnet or two . . . and kwitcherbitchin!!
So . . . what's up, Sheila?

FIO anyone else thinking of visiting : if there is a pattern, it's usually nice (well, as nice as it gets) in May, dodgy in June & July and nice again in August, when the festivals are on. It's the 1st July and I'm in full winter gear and boots !

It it makes you feel better Sheila we have a slightly milder version of the same weather here. It was beautiful a few weeks ago but cool again. I have to move to a slightky warmewr place some day.
As for the BBQ, do what my dad did when he decided to BBQ in the winetr. My neighbors already thought we were strange with the funny accents etc but he started BBQ's in snow storms in the garage with the door open. It was hilarious looking but tasted great.
