A perfectly calming read to start the day, thank you.
Lingwood was the first place in Norfolk that I ever went to, because my sister-in-law lived there.
He's never had a holiday? Hard to believe.
...he lives in the Norfolk countryside, what will he be taking a holiday from exactly?

I like that in amongst all the technology, there is still a box in a garden that is used to verify a temperature record. Does it all end up like lighthouses where eventually everything gets automated.
Fifty-odd years ago, my school in Wanstead had a Stevenson screen on a small lawn beside the dining huts. I presume someone collected information from there and did something with it, but I never found out who or why.
The Sunny Cottage weather station, be careful what you wish for.
Thanks for the link to the telegraph tower information, I always wondered why there was a Telegraph Road in Putney Heath.

So, your 'times I have travelled in a car' count has gone up.
Wonderful weather station hunt. I wanted to do something like this recently, but it turned out the data point I was looking at hadn’t been generated by any particular station and was instead an amalgamated blend of the weather station hivemind.
Fascinating!
I've noticed newly hatched Peacock butterflies round here in the last week or so but only in small numbers. I had also noted clumps of Peacock caterpillars (distinctively black and hairy) on nettles a month ago. So I think it may be both life cycle and heat as text books say later July / early August when the new butterflies should emerge.
Fascinating stuff. That's a very strange looking church, with the lowered nave roof, with two heights. Indeed butchered rather than restored by the Victorians!
Terrific post - the essence of Diamond Geezer. Apart from all that stuff about buses, stations and London, of course. I love the sense of zooming in from something big (a new weather record) to 'a white louvred box...beside a row of runner beans'. Lovely bit of writing.
1. Unlogged is probably my favourite post of the month usually although I don't comment as I haven't much to add.
13. I now have Cher warbling one of her biggest hits inside my head.
