Tony and I are just back from our friends where we've been treated to a lovely buffet tea and watched a beautifully put together video of their recent holiday in Canada. I love looking at other people's holiday photos even though I have no desire to holiday abroad. Our country is absolutely stunning and being retired means that we can go at the drop of a hat when the weather suits us. We hadn't taken coats though so we had to do a quick dash in between heavy downpours. Elaine loaned us an umbrella which was a godsend as we'd probably only walked a hundred yards before the heavens opened. Our shoes and trousers had gotten a good wetting by the time we got home. A beautiful double rainbow was our reward. It's now that horrible sticky warm and I'm getting a bit fed up of the heatwave. Hopefully it'll start to cool down over the next few days. The garden though is absolutely loving the showers and heat. Everything is growing crazily fast and we can't keep up with all the lettuce and cucumbers. It'll soon be courgette and tomato season and I intend to make a load of sauces to freeze for the winter.
