Same here. I also spend a fair bit of time on the Isle of Wight, which in places has a climate closer to the Mediterranean than the rest of Britain
Much like the physical hurricanes... they will eventually pass. Now if you lived in Hawaii I would be truly jealous!
Hmmm... I would be jealous if someone from Africa joined this game... living there and having the time and money (and freedom of mind/religion) to have a hobby like this implies living on the very sunny side...
I even found and bought some metal newcurrent-style kroxigors while I was down there! We went to all 4 of the major islands and enjoyed them all.
