Now weather is my priority, I like it warm, but not humid, occasionally breezy but not windy, so my second home is on Tenerife in the middle of the Atlantic. I spend my winters there as it is the land of eternal spring. Might nip back to England at Christmas for a bit of snow and festivity,. Then it's back to the eternal spring. Nice Atlantic breezes on the East side of the Atlantic - any help!

IMO - we should get snow on december 20, and switch back to spring by january 2nd at the latest. (Sigh). It ain't gonna happen though.
