Yes please @AnniD - gotta love straw bobs and cream - english summer in a dish. Just found some Pimms so I might pinch a couple to make a jug of Pimms & ginger ale - not quite as sweet as lemonade but you still get all the fruit salad stuff😄
Mint has disappeared in my parched garden - so if anybody has a couple of sprigs...

@AnniD Yes, I was talking out of experience 🤨 Interesting is that it really doesn’t matter how long this heat ist. A colleague of mine had a question mark in her face when I said I drunk a beer to get tired and avoiding panic. I remember days in Berlin with days with 39 degrees for 7 weeks and 33 degrees at night and I stood on my window (I lived in the yard) and there was no trace of a slightest breeze. I started panicking that I will die.
We had Monday the same here, 30 degrees inside and outside and no breeze.
The first day after such heat is like falling into a deep sadness that’s over as much as I hated these overheated weeks.
I'd like to thank you @Xenobia for raising this thread. How many people ask if you are alright or ok or how are you every day without really meaning it or listening to the answer!! I'm glad you told us and that we all want to do something about it! There is good in the world! 🤗 X
Such lovely sentiments on this forum. Definitely the place to come when one needs a cheering up or a bit of sympathy, plus all the useful gardening advice! Hope you’ll wake up tomorrow feeling a lot better, Xenobia.
This forum is part of my daily routine - checking to see if there are any new threads, learning or sharing with fellow gardener’s and chatting to some who I feel I know even though we have never met.
How lovely that people came together today to offer hugs and support.
I hope you are doing ok @Xenobia and can pop in soon.
@Xenobia, was it a better day today? I know the lower temperature helped me although I'm still running on low reserves due to lack of sleep through the heat! I do hope your day was a better one today! 🤗
