I first saw that graphic representing Ireland. It suggested Singapore as an alternative. Spain is a bit closer, more affordable, one imagines!

We (in Texas) are having summer here, but we're having more rain than summers usually offer - a huge relief after last year's drought and heat wave. I have the best crop of tomatoes in at least three years. Trying not to make too big a deal of it, in case the gods notice and take away the sporadic and very helpful thunderstorms.
