The Last Summer Visitors and Other Things!

Another roasting day today 28 degrees registered on the Eastern side of the house - that was before mid morning. Meanwhile, we were busy weeding the Veggie plot. On the whole we are pleased with the way things have come. A wire worm problem has taken a few things out in one corner, but that's hardly surprising as it was grass there until just before we planted it up. Everything in the cold frame is growing like crazy, waiting to go out in about a weeks time when the chance of frost is minimal.

I believe (But may be wrong - so feel free to correct me), that the Swift is the last of our summer visiting birds to arrive. Well I can report that they have reached North Eastern Cumbria. Fitting then that BBQ season is well underway with our own BBQ being lit for the second time tonight, and that makes it our third one of the season.
Would you be surprised if, after reading all that little lot, I told you there is still snow on Cross Fell? That's 2091 ft and just seen here to the right of the trees.

The view of the Pennines from the house is a bit obscured now that the trees are in full leaf!
