I love how on these first hot days the flowers take shelter behind leaves, the ducks position themselves in the shade of the clothes pole. Everything, except the sturdy alpines, going 'Blimey, that's HOT!'

An alpine blip most likely tomorrow. These poppies won today because they grew in such profusion in the derelict houses we played in on the way home from school. I've never had much success in growing them but these wild seeds seem to have done the trick. That reminds me, I haven't sown a damn thing this year and it's nearly May ....
