Hardly a breath of wind and it was already feeling sticky by 10 am, so I was beginning to wilt on the way home. <br /> I loved finding things that had seeded themselves into my garden, even some wild flowers.<br />Enjoy the weekend and your garden, and keep cool if you can.<br />Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826501916623305535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-78398267237458437712019-06-29T00:51:26.532-07:002019-06-29T00:51:26.532-07:00I love Penhill's choice and as I have both in ...I love Penhill's choice and as I have both in the freezer I intend to have them for lunch today.

We are further away and the sea cools it down by the time it gets here, together with northerly breeze and the jet stream being further south than last year keeping us on an Iceland air stream rather than a Saharan.Rachel Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16053924416805878169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-77258780728938687142019-06-28T22:25:47.187-07:002019-06-28T22:25:47.187-07:00Only 28 Celsius yesterday, a welcome respite after...Only 28 Celsius yesterday, a welcome respite after days of up to 38 and nights that did not cool off at all. Today and tomorrow are going to be hotter again, but I am determined to enjoy the summer (without overdoing it). I went for only a short run last night at 8:45, only 5K, and it wasn't really hot anymore (around 25 C), but I was drenched afterwards and walked straight into the shower when I came home.<br />Favourite vegetables? I like all veg - the greener, the better! Spinach and spuds are favourites, and carrots (cooked) and yellow peppers (raw) are high up my list as well.<br />As for fruit, yes, there is such an abundance right now, it's great!Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-43603703077098473972019-06-28T21:43:15.068-07:002019-06-28T21:43:15.068-07:00The weather here is cloudy in the morning, then th...The weather here is cloudy in the morning, then the sun comes out but there is a fresh wind to cool us down. The North sea must bring the cloud, I find it quite extraordinary that we are so near to Europe but not experiencing their hot temperatures. As for fruit, went to the local PYO and got strawberries, all those exotic fruits never taste sweet enough.

We have just finished the last of our strawberries and are looking forward to nectarines and peaches now (alas, not from our garden). Our cherry trees seem to be doing well but we can never beat the birds to it - they always get the fruit before us! My favourite summer veg has to be peas straight from the garden. My husband always offers to shell them as I admit to eating most of them before they make it to the pot.JayCeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01373622852406554111noreply@blogger.com
