It's all about the temperatures at the moment, isn't it, here in the Northern Hemisphere? We await these few short months with eager anticipation as soon as the first snowdrop appears then, if we're really, really lucky before you know it here we are right in the middle of Summer and with exceptional luck, we can perhaps enjoy one or two long hot days, occasionally punctuated with the pitter patter on the window pane of the odd thunderstorm or two. The whole of July (apart from the past weekend when the weather put on a spectacular lightning show) has proved its worth with day after day of brilliantly sunny mornings leading up to some stunning sunsets at the other end of the day.
My county looks luscious in the Summer haze.
Occasional trips to the seaside are compulsory when the free time allows.
Our local bank planted this pretty boat-shaped salad garden.
What can this be? A pretty little rainforest? The craters of a green moon?Nope, quite simply a green cauliflower which complements completely its purple cousin!
Of course, even in the current high temps, there's always time to make jelly....
....with my new digital stirring thermometer!
....Redcurrant Jelly, that is and let me tell you, it tastes supremely divine and I don't say that immodestly, I'm very proud of my jelly-making skills!
