August tomorrow! Where does the time go?
Very quiet month in my world;
when summer really arrived, my sewing room abandoned as we moved outside;
There was a short (thankfully!) heat wave in the middle of the month. This was the only place to be, trying to stay cool; early breakfasts outside and a jug of mint tea in the fridge ( I find this so cooling),
the rest of the days just doing very little, only reading, no energy for anything else. I found myself in the garden at 3 am, the only place to find some respite at that time of night.
That's gone (for now), we are back to what could pass as normal summer over here, including a Sunday drizzle today.
The garden suffered this month, although we tried to keep it alive, using any waste water from the kitchen (and as little tap water as we could), but it is all looking little parched now.
We have four water butts, collecting rain water coming off the roofs,
but they are just not being replenished at the moment.
It has been a great weather for lavender.
These pictures are from little earlier in the month just before the heat wave.
So, very little sewing, just a very small progress in sewing another Blooming Springtime block.
With evening cooling down, I am now addicted to crochet; Sunshine and Showers blanket progressing very well; this is made in 4 parts, later to be joined together.
I know I have neglected the blog world, it has been too warm to sit in front of a screen, but I will come and see you soon !
You just have to forgive me...........
I hope you have a good week!
