Default Lifter / Tappets noise when starting

Good morning, We have just started to hear a clicking/tapping noise when we first start the car in the mornings... not everyday, but as we have been traveling alot recently (about 400 miles a day) we find that the tappits make a noise until the engine has warmed up... we have about 2,000 miles before a service is due, and about 50,000 miles on the clock..and are currently getting over 29 mpg, using BP Ultimate, traveling at about 75 mph..

We wondered if it was weather related, we are traveling across Florida and its been over 85f most days, any ideas what may be the problem?
