The only times I've been to England were some visits to the West Country in and around Bath --and the weather both times was excellent. It felt like a regular continental summer (mid 80's in the day and low 70's evenings). I spent days playing golf and late afternoons enjoying pints with new friends. We would laugh about the subtle differences in language and culture. Wonderful times --never been able to do that in France or Germany. I would love to spend a month every year right back there --maybe this time with a bike.
