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.
