Definitely sounds like crazy weather - same in Australia last summer gone. It's hard to garden when your usual seasonal routines are disrupted but looks like things are going well at the moment. THe photo of the bee in the borage is just gorgeous. I miss the English bumble bees - we don't have them here.
Things have absolutely improved! I'm just a bit miffed that it'll start getting cold soon and the season will be all but over. Still, we live and learn. Glad you liked the photo, I have quite a large population of bees that love the garden so it's nice to see them go about their work. Thanks very much for dropping by!
We were talking about England yesterday and wondering if we'd prefer a cold summer or a hot one. Unequivocally, I'd rather it cold. Plus, Jamie gets hellish hayfever. We'll be over in 2024 - his Mum is in Somerset.
Me too. I grew up in a very cold farmhouse so it's all I can handle really. Hope you enjoy your visit back to the motherland.
