Hot and stormy

It's very misty this morning and so, with no sun in the sky, we head for the garden to put in a palm and a couple of lavender plants. Lavender spreads and grows so easily without need for any maintenance or water. This is the ideal plant for the garden, so I suspect we'll plant a lot more. Thank goodness there weren't too many plants, because after a few minutes the sun came out and continued its relentless baking. However, it is a bit cooler today, it's only 31C, and with a slight breeze, it almost feels fresh.

Jan's No 1 son and his wife, Ben and Paula, drive up up from Barcelona to stay for the weekend and to get away from the heat in the city. They replace it with heat in the countryside. We always look forward to their visits because they are good fun and add value.
