Wow!!! I think last night was the hottest night ever! I was up bright and early and went for ride before it became unbearable and dangerous! I mentioned before our cricket was cancelled for today that is the first time I have had a game called off because it was too hot! I agree with the decision- safety has to come first.

I do find it difficult to write at the moment- my work room is South facing so it is conducive to being creative!

Went round to my next door neighbours last night to check they were ok and I was taken up to their bedroom to look out on a House Martin’s nest and under their gutter and could see a young bird looking out. I was jealous- I put a special nesting box up a few years ago and never has it been used!
