Maximum temperature today 27C, minimum 14C. Dry. 11km/h South-westerly winds with gusts up to 30 km/h.

Sorry posts are getting further apart, I seem to be so busy with the garden and other things, visitors on Thursday and then friends arriving from the USA for just over two weeks and we will be sightseeing. Will post when I can.

29/07/2019 The rain seems to have brought out the butterflies

Maximum temperature today 27C, minimum 11C. Dry. 16km/h North-westerly winds with gusts up to 35 km/h. We had 20mm of rain over the weekend, it helped cool things down, but we need a lot more for the gardens and farms.

Now I am not sure as these next two look so similar but different!! I think they are both Gatekeepers (Pyronia tithonus), but I would be happy for someone to correct me if I am wrong.
