Wednesday 30th July- Gosh it hot today

At first there was a mist in the trees around the valley but by 09.30 it had mostly gone.

We started on taking down the awning around eleven o’clock to give it time for the morning dew to dry off. As we worked it got warmer and warmer and by one o’clock it was decidedly bloody hot and both of us were sweating freely. So we hit the swimming pool for a while and then finally succumbed to the heat and took it easy for the rest of the day.
