Let’s be honest. British summers used to be a polite suggestion of warmth — the sort of weather you’d describe as “not bad.” Not anymore. With UK temperatures increasingly breaking records and the Met Office warning that extreme heat events are becoming the norm rather than the exception, lying awake in a stuffy master bedroom … Read more
There’s a particular kind of 3 a.m. misery that’s uniquely British.
