    Gorse, beautiful picture, what a great coincedence, beautifuly taken advantage of.
    2p, how could I have missed that too? So so pretty.
    Dusty, I can just imagine you  a la David Bailey, pose for the camera! click click click!
    I wish I had a great garden Gorse, but it's a [fairly large ofr these times but still quite small in my eyes] back and front garden of a 30's house. I'm just not using the space effctively.
    Sunny and very bright this morning although showers are forecast, and it's green bin day tomorrow so I'd better cut what little grass I cut this year ready. I did rather severely prune the bay bush out the front yesterday though so it's half full of tha., [and I meant put heuchera under it. The geum goes in the facing bed...which will get the run off from the porch roof]

    Apparently a scorching 40° August is "quite possible" according to one headline today. Yes well, anything's possible. Don't know about weather persons being drunkards, more like partakers of magic mushrooms in my opinion.
    They know where their funding for the beer (or the mushrooms) comes from, and the agenda there is climate fear. It's a good replacement for other fears that have come in handy in recent times, especially as everyone's guilty of doing something awful, like wanting to get about and stay warm.
    I'm not a climate change denier; I've lived long enough to know the UK weather's generally more benign in winter than it used to be, if more unpredictable.  I also know that if the many thousands of years' worth of ice cores are studied, planet Earth had hot and cold periods in its past without any help from us.

    Dusty what was the name of the weather thing you use? Vartabilly or summat? Is it more accurate/less inaccurate than the others...?

    I'm with you there on climate change. The climate is definitely changing, but I ain't having all the 'Climate Change' shabang that the news reports. As one very small example - when I got married 25 years ago I wanted the middle-ish of May cos that's when the daffs were out in our area and I wanted them in the photos. We ended up just missing them but there were a few still going. My daffs now are up and out and long gone by May. Changing climate, yes. 'Climate Change', no way Pedro. Gravy train, cash cow, golden goose etc. 
    I removed the shell from my racing snail, but now it's more sluggish than ever.
