Too Hot To Craft!!

Phew!!!! I'm sitting here melting. I love the hot weather, but today has been soooo hot and I feel so lethargic that not much crafting has happened. There's also been the tennis to keep an eye on.

I've nothing new to show you so I thought I'd share a few photos of our day out on Monday. It was a training day and my DD is becoming really interested in photography and wanted to go somewhere where she could practise so we went to our local RHS garden, Harlow Carr. She certainly experimented with great gusto and came home with 260 photos!!!!! Thank goodness for digital cameras. She got some great shots though, being small and lying on the grass created some unusual angles!!

I was a little more restrained and these are some of mine.

Harlow Carr is famous for it's Primulas and they were just at their best. A real riot of colour.


The Long Borders were just coming into flower. In a few weeks they'll be spectacular.


My shot of a foxglove by sitting (not lying, I'd never get up again) on the grass.


A new bed had been planted up just with blue poppies. Each one was a different variety, I didn't know there were so many and this was my favourite. It had a mauve tint and was much frillier.

Aren't we lucky to have this on our doorstep. I heard one lady telling another visitor that this was her local park. That's how we feel and there's some thing new to see on every visit, even in the depths of winter.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you are having a good week so far. I don't envy you if you've been stuck indoors. They are promising that it'll be a bit fresher tomorrow, here's hoping!!
