Dear Atlantians, At last the summer has arrived here and the temperature is predicted to reach the mid 30s C next week. The change in the seasons happened for me halfway between Dartmouth and Camaret, having left Dartmouth in Renegade under leaden skies and arriving in Brittany, via the Chanel du Four, as the morning mists cleared to reveal blue sky from horizon to horizon.

The only cloud on my horizon is that I'm back to work tomorrow after a three week break.

Good to read your news, for which, many thanks. Sorry that you were not able to visit "down south", but "c'est la vie" as we say in Norfolk.

Adrian
