Summer has been booked for mid Sept when we are booked to be in Devon and Cornwall ... any other spells of warmth and sunshine are purely co-incidental 😎 🏝 🧜♀️ 🦀 🏄♂️

Wise move, Dove. When I was working, I always booked a week's leave the third week of September, the weather was always fine and often baking. Children in school so youth hostels, beaches, parks etc are tranquil, and holiday accommodation a bit cheaper.
@B3 in my experience the purchase of colourful cushions does not preclude the purchase of plants .., or vice versa .. would that it did 🙄
The upside of so many garden centres having diversified to sell everything from clothing to books, to soft furnishings, is that some of them do still sell plants although you may have to search for them.
I wanted to buy a few osteospermum yesterday to brighten my patio up as my white theme was looking a bit -white. I went away empty handed (well - apart from a hydrangea pan. than jumped into my trolley). On investigation, all of them had teabags just under the surface😞 .
The last couple of garden centre plants I've bought have come with big domes of soil on top of the pot and the surface has gone mouldy very rapidly. I think they're potting them up with dry coir and it's expanding as soon as it gets watered. Better than peat but I guess they're still getting used to using the stuff commercially.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
I'm cross because our digital weather forecaster packed up yesterday, a Maplin one so no hope of a replacement. Our fault apparently for not regularly inspecting and replacing the batteries twice a year at least. Who reads instruction manuals all the way through?

our sat nav had a "lifetime update guarantee" but now it can't be updated because the files are now too big to be stored

He didn’t believe me when I said I’d booked good weather, but he had to eat his words 😂
