Scorchio here too - it's been up to 25.4C I just poured myself a Pernod and then realised I'm supposed to drive to fetch OH's friend when he rings to say his train's in - given the Pernod to OH (he doesn't drive) - he's made me a long cool fizzy Elderflower Pressé
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
What a day! Scorchio here too! Managed to paint the raised border today and plant out the final bits of bedding. Hoping they don't get ruined by the the awful weather forecasted tomorrow!
Dove - love Elderflower presse. Always reminds me of summer.
Clark. Hope you manage to get your lawn cut. Hoping my OH will do it when he gets home from work.
Evening all. Been outside all day, splitting phormiums and sowing basil, spinach and more poppies
In for a cuppa, but since the girls are away and I'll just be eating whatever's lying around, perhaps I could just visit you Dove....if I leave now I'd be there around midnight...
I see John H is being cheeky. Will have to think of a suitable punishment. Plague of snails maybe...
Listened to Jeremy Vine while doodling around today. Terrific - very moving. Got very teary when he played Moonlight Serenade as my Dad played with the Glen Miller orchestra a few times after Miller went missing. The little clarinet solo would have been his part.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Have been out tackling more of the weeds and planted some of the plants bought the other day Still have a chunk to go and two plants to put in. Not sure that they are going to go with, what seems to be developing into a purple and white bed, as they are salvia hot lips and a red penstemon . . . . oh well. I've never colour matched before so why start now!!
Hope all have had a lovely day and have a good evening. Am off to Guides in my shorts

It's the weekend

Panda what size are your shorts if there are guides in them?...
Off to cut the grass soon as it will have dried out now from all the recent rain.

All had a good day?
