Evening everyone, have just opened the curtains and the windows, there is a slight breeze so we are not too bad, the difference having the windows and curtains closed all day when it is hot is remarkable , we came home from Cwmbran and it was cool when we came home thankfully , we recorded temp of 29 here and that was enough! Grin
Lots of Castles here in Wales Grin
Didn't buy much from Cwmbran 3 x prs of leggings Primark ,
2 x t shirts just to muck around in. Went to Asda and they had lovely linen shirts there but not in my size so l came home and ordered 3 online Grin. Will look for pics to bore you with Grin

TheWoollybacksWife · 07/08/2020 20:28

Mrsmadevans · 07/08/2020 20:32

We love Gardeners world Woolly , it is like a little pill of peace and tranquillity, same feeling we get from the repair shop Smile

MarshmallowManiac · 07/08/2020 20:34

Looks lovely Woolly, love peaches soaked in red wine hic Grin

Glad you had a good day in Cwmbran Smile
Hope you all are not too hot ladies, but being fanned by devoted hubbies and DC Grin

Just returned from Hayle beach and Falmouth. We've have had a glorious day, not too hot not too cold. Had a lovely meal in Falmouth consisting of Cornish mussels in cream sauce, and 1/2 chicken in bbq sauce with fresh home made coleslaw and chips and onion rings. I also had a Shirley Temple mocktail, followed later by Tangerine and Orange zest ice cream followed by fudge Grin Grin

MarshmallowManiac · 07/08/2020 20:40

Haven't tried GW Mrs but going to check it out, we love Repair shop too in this house Smile Just realised it's on now so will take a peek Grin Love the Totally Tangerine flowers.

We haven't visited Bude yet Mrs we are going tomorrow on our way home, really looking forward to it. Smile

Mrsmadevans · 07/08/2020 20:52

Ahh yes l remember now thank you Maniac Smile
GW is lovely , we are hooked on it Grin
Very gentle viewing Smile

NoWordForFluffy · 07/08/2020 20:54

We really haven't had the temperatures that everyone else has. It's been nice and warm, but not hot.

Wreck, you need to go out really early to catch the autumnal air! It's not autumnal once the sun gets up, just at the extreme ends of the day.

Apparently it's going to be warm overnight here probably warmer than the day was.

We're off to the beach tomorrow. We want to go early to beat the queues so I bought sandwiches for the kids in Sainsbury's and I've just made a pasta salad and kachumber for us (red onion, tomato, cucumber, lemon juice, spices and coriander). The first three things in it are home grown. 😋

Good shopping, Mrs.

Good eating, Marshmallow!

Ace oranges, Woolly.

Firefly, our blueberry bush did terribly this year. We're turfing it into the allotment next year as DS isn't arsed about them anymore.

Yes looking at Dolly with her Foxglove tree, extremely relaxing viewing. Smile

MarshmallowManiac · 07/08/2020 20:56

Enjoy your day at the beach tomorrow Fluffy

WreckTangled · 07/08/2020 20:59

Well I left home at 7:30 this morning but not planning on being out any earlier for a while Grin will probably be autumnal the next time I do!

pussycatinboots · 07/08/2020 20:59

fluffy its about 2deg hotter upstairs now. so 27 v 25.
If you heavily prune the bush and just leave it for a bit it might come back amazingly or turn it's toes up DH belongs to the hackit and hope school of gardening...Hmm

MarshmallowManiac · 07/08/2020 21:01

We could all do with a wonderful Longmeadow couldn't we Smile How relaxed would we be.
