A little warmer and much wetter than normal with around average sunshine. 
			
			It was a strange year in so 
			many ways but as always, rather interesting weather-wise. It started 
			a happy one with a beautiful spring and a stunning July but things 
			took a downturn for the second half of the summer. My father died 
			suddenly in September and it was a shock to us all and now he has 
			left a big hole in our lives. He loved Devon and the weather was an 
			inspiration to him as much as it is to me. Then the year ended with 
			a lost opportunity. An opportunity to right the wrongs and to try 
			and tackle one of the biggest issues facing mankind, climate change. 
			But it was not to be and now things have taken a different, more 
			sinister turn.   |
