Summer Solstice

Today is the longest day! The beginning of summer! Woohoo!! Guess what? Its raining!

I remember as a child how the 6 weeks of the summer hols seemed endless and hot! We spent nearly everyday outside, playing in the garden, going for walks or even playing on the beach (we lived closer in those days), mum always had a paddling pool filled and warmed for our return from school! Dad loved the Bar-b-que so we had many! So whats with this global warming, doesn't that mean it should be getting hotter?
I planted my tropical/jungle garden as the plants I had where suffering badly in the hot summers.
So here we are today




Looking better than when I first planted but still behind what it should be!

It is time to order the coal for the winter all 2 1/2 tons of it and just to wind you all up its 6 months and 4 days till Christmas!!!!!!!!!!forum smileys

Running off very quickly!!!!!!!!!!!!!................................

Libby this made me smile. My birthday is next Sunday, it is always in the 26th week of the year, so once my birthday has passed it is all down hill to Christmas! LOL!
