Not that long ago we would have accepted the current weather as British Summer weather! A couple of hot summers and we consider them our right.
A good mix of sun and rain is what gives us the rich green foliage and wide variety of flora that we enjoy.
Humble ground cover –
Magnificent colour and perfume –
And the promise of fruit to come.
What more could we ask? Let’s just enjoy the summer and not worry about the weather’
It was an early start today. An appointment beckoned.
A walk along the lanes and alleys was required.
Back home the Rowan is now sporting green berries. We will watch them change over the next few months.
The clouds passed over, and blue skies prevailed.
Millions of Americans celebrate today. Here life continues in the vein established by Covid precautions. Now that I’ve used the word no doubt an unsolicited advert will appear to enable ease of research on the subject. Apologies. I have no control!
There was blue sky, whispy clouds ..
… and sun!
Just time to pick the first raspberry …
AND THEN IT RAINED!
For a whole two minutes!
The clouds broke and passed – time to inspect the clematis
And then it rained … for another two minutes! Sharp and sudden! It was warm – steam came from the roof of the garden studio after each shower, but hubby decided that a rerun of episode 1 of Inspector Morse was preferable to a day deheading roses!
Yes! I think I’ll add a bit more to this. All the ends are still there – not a bother to me. I enjoy the rhythm and calm of weaving them in.
Today is a neighbour’s birthday. We wished her a happy day earlier, but there will be no party.
It was a dry day, warm but no sun
There’s always a lot to do in the garden!
Then at 5pm – it rained!
