Last week I ended my post by saying, "Now all we need is a little rain, a little less heat and a return to long walks."
I suppose you could say we achieved one and a half of those three wishes. It was certainly cooler and Ruby got her walks, although we still didn't manage a longer outing. As for rain, we had a drop or two, but nowhere near enough to make our watering can redundant. The heat of the previous week was replaced by strong winds that we could well have done without. Not only did they batter and bruise the plants, they also continued the work of the previous week's heat by drying out the soil and undoing much of our effort to keep everything hydrated.NB: Sometimes comments made here rather than on my main blog often are overlooked and languish in a moderation list. Sorry if this happens - I'm honestly not ignoring you
