The day began with drizzle – rain, but so light it was hardly visible.
The starlings were waiting for something.
Soon they were gone – leaving ‘official’ watchers
The first of the new flowers appeared on the Viburnum. It has rested for about 5 weeks and will continue flowering now for almost 12 months.
A lone purple flower shows that the wire is doing its job! A local cat was constantly digging up this plant! I think we’ve saved it.
Very slightly cooler.
An early walk around the garden is often a reminder of long gone family members. This fuchsia came from an uncle’s garden – about 30 years ago.
The original bulbs of this montbretia were growing in my mother in law’s garden. Soon the colours will be stunning and Om sure you’ll see more in a day or so. She was lovely but died in the late ‘90s
We have other shared plants too – not all from relatives who have died.
This began life as a white flower in our son’s garden – 12 or so years ago – but has only ever flowered in pink here. The original plant still continues to flower in white in his garden. Fascinating.
The sun rose on another record breaking day. Temperatures are still rising. Time to ensure we stay hydrated.
This handy little fan has been a boon. Three speeds and rechargeable.
One square completed early in the day – maybe another tomorrow?
Enjoyed the garden early
Then some more Coffe Art!
Keeping watch!
It was early so very quiet. The best time of the day.
Record breaking temperatures were correctly forecast.
Time to pick the Squash
And a welcome splash of pink.
All my centres are done! Now to wait for a cooler day for the next stage!
