Ain't half hot mum!

    Well the week started at a reasonable temperature and then steadily climbed to reach the maximum at the front of my house of 44C on Thursday! Then it rained and very welcome it was too. All water butts now refilled to maximum! The temperature has really cooled down and is much more comfortable and I have actually been in the garden today (Sunday 28th July) digging potatoes and doing some much needed weeding.
     Enough of the weather. Last of the cabbage has been cut, Wautoma cucumbers picked, haricot vert picked, potatoes dug, peas picked, onions pulled and courgette's cut, (long and an unexpected round one). Not bad but should be better! After the rain I have sowed a small row of Great Lakes lettuce in the hope of producing a few before autumn. The ground is now dry despite the steady amount of rain. In la Creuse water restrictions are at there highest level and good part of France is also under some sort of restriction.
