That is still a pretty accurate statement. I often forget how windy it is in Edinburgh so that even a sunny summers day is cold enough to need a shirt and sweatshirt.

Actually, I need to adopt a new home town. I am thinking either Nice or Perpignan. Any other suggestions?

Apparently it has changed a lot and become more cosmopolitan! Maybe he decided the climate was secondary to the life and the people?

Actually he went there to take care of his dying father... and never left. And then he remarried.
