What do you do on the hottest day (if you're a boy!)?

It's 32C in the shade as I write and Charlie and Alan decided to have the biggest bonfire possible.  Of course.  It was the remains of the hedge behind the stable block and made a linear bonfire the entire length of the stable block by about 2m wide and 1.5m high. In some feeble nod to healthandsafety, they do each have a hose in hand and were squirting down everything INCLUDING the bonfire to stop it getting totally out of control.  If any of our gliding friends found the one good thermal of the day just east of Salisbury, I think I know why...

We've fitted vine eyes and wire to the top fence, so all the climbers that are there now have somewhere to scramble, and I can start to buy some other chaps to fill the rest of it.



And finally on the right are two views of stuff in flower to prove that there is at least some.  In fact things are coming on nicely, although it's all a bit still things-stuck-in-bare-earth-ish in places.  I think 'lush' is going to have to wait for September, or perhaps even next year.  Although the beans are definitely going for it, so veg plot pics will follow.
