Something bizarre is happening in this neck of the woods, something we haven’t seen since 1865. This strange phenomenon is called unrelenting sunshine. We had a preview yesterday. I celebrated by working in my own garden (I’ll just do an hour, what tea time already?). Today was more of the same. The autumn sun was tepid at best, not armed with potential of a Costa del Devon tan, but was absolutely perfect working weather. I was very happy about this as working (and obviously extremely hard) is exactly what I was doing. The gentle warmth filled me with energy and enthusiasm, desperate to appreciate every clement day until the el Nino winter hits. However it is only Monday, to be cruelly realistic by Wednesday morning I may well be back to my usual slugdom.

I wish we could have swapped places. We had lovely weather today but I was stuck at a fine food trade fair at Olympia. Come to think of it that doesn’t sound like a bad gig, but I’d still prefer to be in the garden.

By 11 am today I was in a sauna, dreaming to minus zero temperatures :O

It’s exactly the same here! Just the way you describe it. I was out in the garden for hours. It was never too warm or too cool. Heavenly.

We went walking on Exmoor, the scent from the heather – which was stunning – filled the air and only the sound of happy bee’s disturbed the peace. Just heaven.

Lovely working weather, just a shame that here we have to fill a very large skip with lots of rubble. I WILL find time for some gardening while it lasts!
