It Ain't 'Alf 'Ot

After moaning about the unsettled weather, it's been getting hotter and hotter! I worked on the path this morning before it got too hot.

This afternoon it was 28 degrees in the shade at the rear of the house. The girls don't like it this hot. Fortunately it remains cool in the house, so they don't go out much.

However, 'mad dogs and englishmen....' (and english women) were out in the garden this afternoon for the ceremonial picking of the first strawberry........... the first and only!

And the gardener pulled rank and ate it!!!

Whilst we were down at the veg patch, we decided that the Broccoli was ready for cropping. We didn't know too much about Broccoli and we had thought they'd be growing all summer. They've only been in for about 2 months and they look as if they're about to flower!

We so enjoy all of these new experiences!
