26/06/2019 In the garden

Maximum temperature today 38C, minimum 19C.  Dry.  13km/h South-easterly winds with gusts up to 31 km/h.  

Summer has arrived!!!! 39C predicted for tomorrow and we have friends to lunch so I will be busy!

Many people have asked to see more of our garden and the house, yesterday I took some photos.  As usual too many so here is the garden and the house will appear in the next one.  No comments under photos (other than a couple) pretty self-explanatory!!

I had just cut the lawn.

Note the leaning apple tree, even the stake is leaning that we put in to hold it up after all the rain.

Potatoes, carrots on the left.
