Been a Hot Week.......

 
Summer has definitely arrived in Suffolk with Saturday reaching 27°C and Sunday 28°C.
And this hottest weekend Hubby and Son fixed the shed roof. Phew.

It's been so dry here, no rain for weeks, so Hubby waters the garden almost every night after the sun has gone. He was out Sunday evening so Monday morning he got up at 6am to water and give his car a wash. Coffee morning was outside and half way through we felt the start of a tiny little shower. Two of the neighbours rushed home to get dry washing off of the line and we moved our table, chairs and guests under the patio roof by which time it had stopped raining anyway. 

I'm still smiling every time I look at the New rose bed. 

So here's another photo. 

And we've had a few cherries from our cherry tree, only about 14 or 15 in total. A bonus as we thought we wouldn't get any, like last year. 

When we have warm weather and Hubby carries on working hard on maintenance or gardening etc he finds relaxing on our leather furniture a bit sticky, so I've normally thrown an old duvet cover over the back, but it does keep slipping around. Now I've finally used that fabric to make a fitted slip cover. 

Also too hot for the dog to have daytime walks,  which Daughter would normally do when she has driven O to a venue and has time to kill before he needs a lift home. So Friday the dog came here and chooses to go out and have a wander round the garden when she wants to but mostly likes her favourite windowsill. 

Just had a little memory jog when someone mentioned on Facebook that the American actor Treat Williams had died and they remembered him for his part in the movie Hair. I had to comment that I'd seen Hair as a stage musical in London when I was about 15.

I included this bit I'd found on wiki....
Hair opened at the Shaftesbury Theatre in London on September 27, 1968, led by the same creative team as the Broadway production. The opening night was delayed until the abolition of theatre censorship in England under the Theatres Act 1968 so that the show could include nudity and profanity.

I hope you've enjoyed good weather and you don't suffer if you get the forecast storms that may be coming. I hope it happens because actually the gardens really need lots of rain to look healthy again.
