A mixed bag of weather and noticeably cooler today.
No alarm clock this morning was bliss. Had a pottering about sort of day and did some more bramble/weed clearing at the ‘back end’ of the garden. Still loads to do but I will make a pile of some for potential hedgehog hideaways. I have a hog hotel I build from a pallet, sticks and an old plastic mat but good to have options for them.
I hope everyone is doing ok. When is the heatwave forecast to end with you @ France people?
@AuntyRach Hot here for tonight but some rain tomorrow forecast (ha ha!) for here. I think my friends northwards are having cooler weather due to violent storms.
I’m going to say it… it’s quite Autumnal here! Much as I could fancy a little heat wave to end the summer, I would not relish the 30 plus furnace that you’ve had @tui34!
@AuntyRach, Floralies and I posted this morning that it's cooler. In fact it has been a lot cooler today, such a relief. I'm hoping I'll have a good night's sleep to set me up for Son's birthday tomorrow.
I rather envied OH today. He went to Framlingham Castle, @Dovefromabove will know it. He walked up the stone steps and around the ramparts. Shows how much his hip has improved. No stick now.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
The chimney sweep came. The oven looked clean when he'd gone then I realised that the breakfast room was covered in a fine coat of soot. Thank goodness I'd shut my laptop. I'd been barefoot so the soles of my feet were sooty too. Washed feet, floor, table, dresser, chairs etc.

Oh @Busy-Lizzie it so annoying when a job to improve one thing causes more work. My sympathy, hope you rested well overnight. I ordered from P Nyssen: Alliums, camassia, daffodils to be delivered beginning October. Hope in a bulb ☺. Maybe we will go to see Hoppeneimer this afternoon. Have a good Bank Holiday in the UK.

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
