:06:07. > :06:15.been sold. But Portelet Bay also faced opposition since all this was
:06:15. > :06:19.just a plan on paper. The quality and the dynamics of it, plus the
:06:19. > :06:23.stunning location, has been well received by those who have come to

:07:01. > :07:04.swimmers like Dex braving the sea here regularly. Although he admits

:07:40. > :07:43.go to Bordeaux. The water may be warmer than usual, but that's still
:07:43. > :07:49.pretty cold. And you wouldn't get me going in there any time soon. So
:07:49. > :07:54.why are temperatures higher, and is the trend likely to continue?
:07:54. > :08:01.must remember we have had a lovely warm summer which has warned the
