Up bright and early. Liz in. For God's sake, I'm going to go on about the weather. People tend to do at times like this.

During this month every kind of weather has been reported ranging from snow and hail and thunder to cloudless skies and temperatures reaching 90 degrees F. Over the five days from June 25 to June 29 the temperature in England was 8.8 degrees fahrenheit above average. The month started with a pretty gloomy day across most of Britain. It was muggy, misty and drizzly. Brighter weather spread from the north on the June 3rd ... Many areas had sunny spells but showers and a cold wind on northern and eastern coasts meant temperatures here were well below average. Cape Wrath in the north of Scotland failed to get warmer than 45 degrees all day on June 5.The next few days were variable. On June 9 it rained most of the day in parts of North West Scotland with mild afternoon temperatures... Continued on Page 94.

Lord Stockton is still not well. Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark has gone off to the Gobi Desert and mountains of Mongolia filming for Channel 4. He is 18.
