Warm for the time of year

Here in the uk we are experiencing some unusually warm weather. For the last month the temperatures have been up in the late 20s early 30 degrees centigrade. Whilst it’s great to see the sun every day, I actually long for a drop or two of rain for our poor garden. As lots of the plants are new they are struggling hard to stay upright. Don’t ask about the new bit of lawn we set!

We have taken advantage of the good weather and have had a couple of trips to the coast and a walk around Grafham Water. We’ve also been out on our bikes and a few walks locally and attended the local Armed Forces Day parade. But mostly we have sat in the shade staying cool with a long drink (or two) and a book or two, and in my case some knitting. The forecast is for it to continue well into next week with tomorrow topping 28C, phew

Here are a few photos from our recent trips out

Wishing all my US readers a very happy 4th July, have fun
