Lovely post and beautiful pics.

I liked to read this: "I lasted the day in a t-shirt, I was the only one though - thick jumpers and jackets all around, in the South of the UK they feel the cold more then us Northerners".

Maybe if there were some Spanish or Italian tourists wearing heavy jackets, they looked at you and thought: "Wow, doesn't this guy feel cold? Where does he come from?"
I enjoyed reading your post.
