A lovly Sunny day here in Cheshire. The Sun is actually Hot and with a gentle Breeze to accompany it, it really feels like the height of Summer.

After lunching alfresco for my daughter's birthday on Monday, then avoiding the gloom of an overcast day yesterday by staying indoors, I am hoping for a good day's foraying at Pamber Forest..... but it's not looking good

Scotland's poor health record could be directly linked to a lack of sunshine, an expert believes.

Dr Oliver Gillie wants a national campaign to urge people to take a daily dose of vitamin D to help tackle the health problem.

In a new study, the scientist and writer linked the "extreme" Scottish weather to vitamin D deficiency, which is caused by low exposure to sunlight.

Medics have already established a lack of the vitamin as a factor in diseases such as cancer and heart disease, of which Scotland has some of the highest levels in Europe.

In his study, Dr Gillie, a science researcher and writer, called for "urgent action" by the Scottish Government.

He said: "Scotland has an extreme climate characterised by very little sunshine - it gets as little sunshine as some places in the Arctic Circle.

"Its people have low levels of vitamin D because most vitamin D comes from the effect of sun on skin. Scots also have high levels of chronic illness - among the highest in the world.

"But vitamin D has received little or no attention from policy-makers in Scotland.

"This is a problem that can be solved if (there's) the political will to do it."

Vitamin D supplements could be placed in foods such as bread, orange juice and milk, he adds.

"In France they take megadoses. This is something that could be considered and included in guidelines."

Scotland's chief medical officer, Dr Harry Burns, said: "The Scottish Government has already been considering the evidence on vitamin D and has already arranged a meeting of experts for later this year... to recommend what further action is required."

That explains now why me and Ron or always feeling unwell we have to take extra vit D ..

Add it to whiskey is what I say (tho I never liked or drank the stuff even when I was a raging alcoholic )

Sorry Bill but it's been really nice in the Central belt for the past 5 -6 days and we have even saw the sun - boosting my Vitamin D levels. Maybe all Scots will be issued sunlamps in the near future

Briliant day here! Blue skies with hardly a cloud, pleasantly warm without being too hot, and the occasional bit of breeze.

I live about a mile and a half from Dunstable Downs, a very popular local beauty spot with terrific views - on a clear day you can see for about 40 miles, over the Vale of Aylesbury and beyond. One of my brother's paid us a quick visit this morning about 9am, and said that as he'd driven over the Downs the view had been completely obscured by a sea of fog. The top of the Downs were in clear sunlight, but all the lower lying land to the north was covered by a thick blanket of fog. I've seen these conditions occasionally myself.

By the time I got up to the Downs on one of my long walks, about 10.15, the fog had receded from the foot of the Downs, but you could only see for about a mile and a half, then everything was covered in fog.



About 50 minutes later, I reached the village you can see in the photo, and by that time the fog had disappeared completely.

It's been a great day in these parts.
Sunny, warm enough for uncluttered walking, and very little wind.
Walked for a couple of hours in local woods & took umpteen photo's of fungi.
(Haven't a clue what they all are though).

Regards
Mike.

Anyone else wake up to fairly thick mist/fog this morning?

Makes a nice change - seasonal weather for once
