It’s gorgeous here. Under my brolly with a pot of half-caff coffee and just deciding whether the daffodils by the sitting room door have had enough time to die back, as they are straggling on the ground, along with spent Forget-Me-Nots. There are some Peacock Orchids which grow up to take their place.Â
A wee rest for you @AuntyRach - just the job. Enjoy it as much as you can I had to come in as its too hot for me, and nowhere near that temp @Dovefromabove. Us pasty Scots are no use in this weather I think it's to be wet again tomorrow. I won the tie break too- I always do..... Glad you're enjoying the chit chat @tuikowhai34. We were all 'strangers' here at one point. I had a very warm welcome from many people when I joined seven years ago -yikes!] and many of them have helped me in more ways than you can ever know. They know who they are. Not just a gardening siteÂ
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
They’re talking about the possibility of a storm here tomorrow @Fairygirl ... otherwise I’d be tempted to plant the runner beans and Morning Glories out ... but if we get the sort of hailstorm we can sometimes get here in East Anglia at this time of year, i might not have any plants left 😨

This pasty Scot has had to retreat indoors, getting very hot. Nursing a dodgy thumb which I probably strained the other day forking over the new veg area. Lots of rock in the greensand soil base one fork depth down made it hard work. Will head out again shortly to help OH sort out her mountain bike gears in the garage.
Ach- you're just a token Scot now @Hostafan1 - you're a soft southerner nowÂ
I saw that @Dovefromabove. One of those things you can prepare for, and the r*ddy thing goes a few miles the other way! I've managed to germinate loads of M.Glories, and I really have nowhere to put them. Typical! I have a few pots left, but the others will need to take their chances in with other stuff. I wondered if I could have some in a pot in the house. What do you think?Â

Apologies @tuikowhai34- I've missed that message somehow. Hope the toms are ok - there's been a massive number of tomato queries this year - more than usual. Right - it's got a wee bit cloudier so I'm off outside again. @steephill - we're not built for sun are we? That there @Hostafan1 is the exception that proves the rule Hope the thumb's bearing up....

25 c here, beautiful for sitting in, but too hot for gardening, shame. Mum is now confirmed +ve. and is not well. Sisters and I have agreed as to what we should do, which is great.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
It's too hot here as well @Punkdoc, awful news about your mum but good you now have a consensus - there were four of us when my Mum became ill, so not easy I know.Â
