October?

Twenty five degrees centigrade on the car thermometer

Strawberries in the garden

Cats retreating from the heat

Butterflies still fluttering


Flowers still flowering

Welcome October!

  1. Its been a mad year weather wise. Hubby has been topping his tan up today, BBQ lunch, chilling in the summer house. Then the clocks go back in 4 weeks time and in 9 weeks I'll be putting the Christmas decorations up. No wonder the British talk 'weather' all the time.

  5. Today I saw a man dressed in shorts and sunhat looking through the Christmas cards that have just gone on display in Waitrose. Something's not right!

  6. It felt really wrong Christmas shopping today - I actually bought some wrapping paper and tags.
    But I can't believe the weather.

  7. The weather is unbelievable isn't it? I'm loving the early mornings but I confess I shall be happy to have it a bit cooler later in the day.

  8. I have no idea what is going on with the weather. It's like a beautiful hot summers morning here in the south but they say that snow is on the way by the end of the month.
    I went shopping last weekend and bought some Autumn outfits for work and they are still in the wardrobe. Maybe that's why it suddenly went so warm. If I hadn't got anything to wear you can bet it would be much colder.x

  9. Amanda - it is all very bizarre - we got the sun loungers out again on Friday:)

    Michela - poor you hope you soon feel well again:)

    Simone - it's the nightime heat that gets to me - I can't sleep:)

    Lady's Life - welcome and thankyou - the cat is very good at posing for photos:)

    Lol, John - we visited a local garden centre today and walked through Christmas complete with nodding camels in the stable scene, outside they were celebrating harvest festival and people were dressed in summer shorts and t-shirts - amazing!:)

    I nearly bought some cards on holiday - must do it soon although this weather makes you feel as if Christmas is ages away:)

    Rowan - the morning are lovely but I too would like it a bit cooler in the evenings - it somehow seems a bit unatural to be so warm:)

    Lyn - yes it is lovely but I hope we don't pay later with really bad weather like last year:)

    Lol, Rosie - I'm sure you'll be wearing those new outfits soon - I'm dreading having to put shoes or boots on again after so long in sandals:)

  10. I can't make my mind up if this is a good or bad thing. I truly love the heat, and it has made me wish that I lived in a hot country. We have sat in the dark garden with candles every night enjoying the owls, and other creatures (even a fox!!) It makes me less enthusiastic for nights in with the heating on! xxxx
