Hot Weather

After Easter (mid April), throughout May and in the first two weeks of June we had brilliant weather.  During this time It varied between 18-27c most days.  May had the hottest temperatures since records began and over a period of eight weeks we woke up to blue, clear skies and had very little rain. (Note:- I am writing this in the last week of August, which has already achieved the wettest August on record and where it has rained heavily, most of each day, every day for over eight weeks!).

Above are some pictures, showing blue skies, the temperature gauge in the Tropical Greenhouse, horses lying down and it was only 11.00 am and my new quad bike - not that it has anything to do with the weather!
