It feels slightly cooler today, cool enough to lift me out of my stupor of the last few days and inspire us to get out for a short walk whilst it was overcast with a softly cool breeze. Trentham as usual I'm afraid as we didn't want to travel far and it's just down the road.
After the wildflowers shown in my last post I was looking at the more formal flowers in the small show gardens this time.
First the Reedmace or bulrush by the lake
Lots of lovely colours and shapes
Now back home, I have laundry drying outside and Paul is mowing some of the grass which had grown quite high in places.
Yesterday, early morning we did manage to make a Summer Pudding. Strawberries, Raspberries, Cherries and Blackberries.
We ate a portion this evening with a scoop of ice cream. It was cool and delicious.
It's probably going to get hot again this week but I've really enjoyed the cooler air today and the short respite from the heat. We really do need some rain.
The breeze today has been wonderful and so appreciated. I'm sure you enjoyed some time at one of your favourite places to walk. The plants are looking so good and very architectural in your photos today.
ReplyDeleteI think it is going to stay hot here too but with a slight chance of some drizzle. Wouldn't that be lovely!
