That’s it then, after another phew-wot-a-scorcher week in which the end of April thought it was the beginning of August and we all grew nostalgic about the time there used to be clouds in the sky. A week in which a shooting in Southover High Street made the national news ; and a week in which four deer were found by a lobster fisherman swimming a mile out to sea off Portreath Beach in Cornwall
