HOT AND DRY BUT GROWING

Thanks to the lovely Kim, I was able to make a batch of

COOL TIES on Sunday

and today posted them to Andy,

for him and his mates...

Should help to cool them down from the heat they are experiencing at the moment.

We think it is hot here - 29-30deg

Andy has got 50+ deg

work it out........

PHEW!

Mesembryanthemums grown from seed by hubby - not bad eh!

First Rose on this bush...

and this one...

Can't remember what this is called but it is very pretty...

Good old Lavender...

The Geraniums are putting up a good fight in this heat...

Clematis I keep threatening, if it gets no better it goes...

Just love those Hydrangeas, always a good display...

We call this 'the coffin' it was a table, hubby converted it to a flower bed thingy...

our first Sunflower, a bit piffy isn't it?

again, can't remember the name of this, but it is a stayer...

This is our Ruby Wedding Rose, it has a fabulous scent...

Our ground is as dry as old bones, it is all cracking, the grass is not green really,

only the new bit he seeded cos it gets watered with the hose-pipe, no ban yet!

We need rain badly, trouble is when it starts it will forget to stop.

Congratulations to all the England Fans who managed to stay out of trouble

during our very short [!] trip to South Africa!

See, you can do it, even if our team can't!

Good to see Mark Webber on the news making 'light' of his horrific F1 accident,

it could have been dreadful, but the cars are so safe now for the driver,

I was pleased to see him get out and walk away.

Well done Vettel for winning.

I guess we just have the Tennis to get through, then peace will reign once more.

Thank goodness!
