The heat goes on

I have lost count now of how many days have been hot and sunny. It has reached at least 25C for over a week.

We have had plenty to do at the allotment.


and plenty to harvest. There is nothing like home grown vegetables.

With cucumbers  and courgettes on the way.





Biddle has two new jumpers

He is hoping  the cricket one will not jinx the ashes team.

Tia has found a new comfy seat.

Phew!


Well summer has finally arrived and we have had several days of  hot weather. It has been so hot that the back door expanded and we could not open it without causing damage. Still we must not grumble because this time last year we had the  second flooding in the cellar.

This  little frog that has taken up residence in our allotment pond. We have only seen him/her the once.
But it was very exciting.

Everything is doing well at the allotment. We have had a couple of pea pods in the salad




and the broad beans will be ready soon. There are flowers on the runner beans too.
This was taken on Saturday and there were many more this morning when I went to water.
John is back at work but as he is still on quite a bit of pain. I am still fulfilling my allotment duties.
