  At least it felt like it, back to normal temperatures tomorrow apparently.

  It persuaded me to do my first serious bit of gardening for the year - in 15 minute stints, though.

  I done my first grass cut yesterday.
  
  Thought there would have been more people down the sea front this afternoon what with it being a school holiday and gorgeous weather.

  Quietly sitting in the garden as twilight progresses,
  Thinking of the family and events that have passed,
  Inspired by the garden that survives all the stresses,
  Blooming cheerfully again, summer’s here at last!

  I see your 'gardener' has been busy again a lovely display yet again, I especially love the unusual blue speckled variety.

  I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

  The blue ‘speckled ones’ eventually went black and flew away Jan! A bit of a climb up the ornamental cherry tree to take the picture but a thrill sliding down the wire!
  
  Still doing my bit in the garden ; I’ve oiled the secateurs twice this year to enable a quicker flower dead heading to take place.
  
  I have also taken on the job of plumping up the cushions on my observation chair too!!
