Angus and his wife sold their farm in Scotland in 2004 and moved to warmer climes to escape the cold winters. They tried Provence and Italy, then moved to southwest France in 2009. Then the summers became too warm, so in 2022 it was back to the northeast coast of Scotland to escape the heat.
I remember 60 years ago in Paris seeing all the advertisements in January and February inviting us to visit the Mediterranean to escape the dreary winter. Now apparently tourists are opting to take “coolcacions” in Scotland and the Scandinavian countries.
How things are changing.
