The cold! Freezing north east wind has been stalking the house down here in Devon for the past week.

I'm wearing woolly socks, fluffy slippers and 2 thermal vests, staring at a cold grey sea.

As soon as partner's left the house, I sneak on the heaters. (No, you can't have the heating on - it's in June!)

(You can't possibly be cold! It's 18 degrees!

43 degrees in Muscat when I left.
