Summer Arrives with a Bang
Summer arrived last week and made quite a dramatic entrance as temperatures soared into the 30s and thunder rumbled overhead.
It was a little early, as meteorological summer does not begin until 1 June, and astronomical summer this year starts at exactly 9:24 am BST on 21 June if we want to be precise.
Ruby had to miss a couple of walks because it was simply too hot. Fortunately, she had a visit from the groomer on Thursday and is now sporting her summer cut. She could really have done with a haircut a few days earlier, but appointments need to be booked well in advance.
The temperature eventually cooled enough for some walks, much to Ruby’s delight.

From Hailstones to Suncreen
What a mixed bag of weather we had last week!
One minute we were sitting in the car with rain and hail pounding on the roof, the next we were shivering and reaching for an extra jumper. By the end of the week, however, we were applying sunscreen and enjoying some much-needed warmth.
Despite the unpredictable conditions at the beginning of the week, we managed to tackle several jobs that had been repeatedly postponed because of the weather. At the end of the week planting was progressing at full speed, and we even enjoyed a tiny harvest.
Ruby also had some new experiences this week — along with a couple of disappointments.
