Heat Wave….

Our British obsession with the weather continues….as does our amazement that the heat wave, that we have enjoyed for two weeks now, continues.  After two years of record rains, record winds and the lowest of colds and deepest of snow on record….. we now have record high temperatures.  No doubt cool by some folks standards but 31c for us is HIGH!   No complaints here.

Our second flush of flowers in the garden have yet to break into full bloom but the Day Lilly is leading the way…its hot orange colour matching the temperatures. A touch more cooler are our standard lilies…….

FirstLillies

and of course Cosmos add even more warm colours to the abundance of greens……

Soon the high summer blooms will fill the garden then all too soon the autumnal colours will appear.

New Blogs may be a little rare over the next few weeks as we are off on holiday.  Whilst I will have my camera with me it is not planned to be like many years – a working holiday.  With luck I will make the occasional posting and some of the destinations may just surprise you….wait and see.
