        It's been beautiful and still is really but a bit more cloud is bubbling up now and the patio thermometer had dropped down to 24C .

        Still great for seed harvesting though.:dbgrtmb:


        Grotty pic I know but hubs had nabbed my phone so had to use my old knackered tablet.

          The sun eventually came out again this afternoon, as it often does, and now it's a warm summer evening. I'm enjoying it while it lasts :SUNsmile:

          It's a lovely pic @Upsydaisy it shows your colourful summer garden :smile: ...

            Been a lovely day weeding at the allotment, all the recent rain helps pulling them up. 24c dry with a gentle breeze.

                    A mixture of sunshine, cloud and breezy. 18C/64F

                    Autumn's arrived early. The leaves are yellowing and starting to drop - not good news. :frown:

                          Since June and the warmer weather went, and rain from time to time, the leaves have stopped dropping here.
                          Often the leaves drop early due to insect attack or drought.

                            Late June and all of July were wet Pete, so it's not drought. There are too many changing colour for it to be insects.

                              The day turned out quite well after all & the rain shower never put in an appearance! The day was quite warm & we got up to about 24C. Sunshine & clouds most of the day but more sunshine during the afternoon than the morning.

                                I think it happens most years, I seem to remember you posting the same last year, I dont think all the leaves that form in early spring make it to autumn on most trees its kind of an ongoing process.
