I didn't know it gets that hot in the UK. The heat can make it tough for sure. We usually get a week or two of over 110 F (43 C), but for the most part the summer is 90-100 F (32-38 F)
TX is a blast isn't it! LOL

Take care and try to stay cool! - Dave

My oldest daughter is 30 now but when 6 got chicken pox .With her teachers advice I kept her in the house with the shades pulled and she got it again when she was 8 .Full case . Dr. said , because the first time she had it it couldn't come all the way out without the sun and exposure to light .I didn't keep her sheltered at the latter time and she got it all out . I know it's late on the date here but she did get twice .
