Looking for the Red Arrows!

The Red Arrows flew over this morning. I was in the garden with a long lens poised. I heard them but did not see them as they made their way to the start of the Great North Run in Newcastle.

Instead you have one of the many sparrows who live in the garden. We have house and tree sparrows. This year's brood has done well, with an explosion of numbers.

It was a sunny, hot morning. I washed, cut and set Mum's hair.

Later, the rain came. There was thunder and very heavy rain, but the temperature did not go down enough.

Margret (next door) braved the walk to our house with her big golfing umbrella.
