Same thing happened to me when I went to England one November. It was lovely there - the daily temps usually reached somewhere in the low teens C (+12, +15, etc), and it rained every day but usually only for an hour or two, and then it was sunny. I rode with one of the CTC groups there and they kept apologizing to me for the bad weather.
The thing was, back home in Winnipeg it was about -20C and we had already had about a foot of snow!! I was in heaven in England!!

That is a gorgeous area!! The two photos below are somewhere around there ... taken on a road that goes by Elbow Falls (I believe) which ends in a dead end.
