I don't think there is a gradual warming up period, it fluctuates from day to day. I was on Branscombe beach in Devon on Tuesday and it was hot. People were lying out in swimming costumes. Yesterday you would have needed gloves on probably. Suz

This must let them know that it is spring......But they don't have to rush about. If it's to cold, they just conserve energy. And wait. Deano Better to be lucky than good looking.
