Another day much like Saturday as we continue to suffer in the sultry summer heat. We are not the only ones however as some of the garden plants are now showing signs of stress, we have resorted to carrying cans of water to the worst of them especially the helaniums who were looking seriously wilted. With no rain in the forecast for the foreseeable future we may have a problem on our hands, the weather is such a challenge this year! Luckily for us someone took pity on our plight today, the lady from Coachman's cottage brought us all an ice-cream mid-afternoon in return for all the fruit that finds its way to them, a much needed refresher. She told us that it is too hot for her horses as well and that at the moment they are only letting them graze the paddock in the evening cool, not a bad idea for gardening either if this Mediterranean climate continues.
"My advice to you is not to enquire why or whither, but to enjoy the ice cream while it's on your plate"
Thornton Wilder
