Teesside, nothing but blue sky do I see, they should write a song about it. Was driving along our leafy lanes amid fields of Rape, is any one else put off by the smell of the stuff, I ended up with the car windows closed and the air con on, at least it filtered some of the smell. Back into the garden now to refresh my March sun tan, slad for tea today boiling the fresh eggs at the moment.
Frank, I have the same reaction to the smell of oilseed rape - only passed one field today (not too much in the New Forest) and that had me reaching for the window buttons.
Much MUCH worse, though, is Privet flowers. They aren't in huge fields (thank goodness) but you have to pass garden hedges when you want to walk about the area. I hate the beginning of July.
@palaisglide.. rape seed sets my hayfever off every time.. i am sure it is why more people suffer it now.. and the fact they do not cut the road side verges over here now until they are high enough to hide a man in.. normally with a speed came
Teesside had a haze this morning but by the time I had showered the sun burnt it off so I had breakfast in the garden, the start of what I call the outside months. Had to go shopping, and sat watching all the flowers pass by, Ladies from eight to eighty in summer outfits looking very floral indeed, it is as if we all suddenly woke up from a nightmare of bad weather to somewhere over the Rainbow, I may write a song about it. Lunch over and into the garden, like the pictures of thermometers, I stick a finger up, if it burns it is hot if it drops off it must be cold.

Sunny here in North Yorks - got up to 25C yesterday, and predicted to do the same today

Two searing hots days and I've had enough.
Pots are drying out, so that means watering to do.
Phew!
Afraid I don't have a posh termometer like yours.
But this is the temperature inside my greenhouse at 4.30....

New Forest was gorgeous in the sunshine.
Posh? Just a cheapo from Wilkinsons, Gary.
My pic was taken about the same time as yours, but was in the shade on my patio...the greenhouse (like yours) over a hundred about the same time.
It's gone quite heavy & thundery over the past hour.
