Where we have spent the heat wave !

I follow the shade and keep the doors to the house closed, windows open and it stays suprisingly cool

Lovely.....the plants don't seem to mind the hot sun.And , my grass looks like the top of that mountain(that's brown, not high....ha ha)
When we visited Houghton Hall gardens on a very hot Saturday , 2 weeks ago, I had to smile as every body sitting outside the tea room went for the few seats in the shade.i said at the time ...we wait all year for the sun then jump into the shade when it comes out...but I'm he same!!!!

Your garden is beautiful. I like that sort of garden :o) and your view is wonderful !
I love your lavender bush ...
The mts around here are still green, but for how long ...
Very hot here today but with a little breeze - makes all the difference.
I met a friend in the town lunchtime and had a chocolate icecream instead of food lol !

It does look hot almost feel the heat.
I like the lavender and the plant with those whispery feathers..

ps:- love a good landscape :)

I love the pergola. I thought you had a lovely pool until i realised the pic was upside down! Its a grand view you have there.

Thanks all for your comments , Hywel what more could a man want than a choc ice:) Stergram now a pool would be lovely sorry the pic was upside down looks ok on my ipad but we won't go into gremlins lol it's to hot to worry our brains if they haven't been fried in this heat but it is fab weather !!

Your upside down garden looks really lovely. Reminds me of a friend, who long ago borrowed a cine camera to go on a funded 'trip of a life time' to a conference in Chile, flying over Andes from Rio. When she showed a large Royal College audience the film. Most of it was on its side. This was pre digital days. We all had a good chuckle and she took the giggles in good humour too. Like you say too hot to fret over computery glitches.

Kidsgran.......take your photos on your ipad with the off/control button always to the left!! Then pics will be alright. A tip I learnt on here when I made the same mistake as you. Lol Love your garden.

Oh dear I thought it had to be on the right I think they were ok on some members page ..

NO NO......so sorry I have got my left and right the wrong way around!! It is the right!!!!! SORRY. Take no notice of me and anyway was it you who told me about this?? Lol

Yes I think quite a few of us had a back and fore discussion about it sometime ago it seems ok on some computers and iPads and not on others not sure why .

I think the above may be true. Next door guy is a bit techy. He has ipad, iphone and older computer he says some of his pictures he sends arrive upside down. Could try a Google question perhaps.....or even 'contact us' on GOY'?
