It's been beautifully sunny and warm all day here in NE Essex (for once), very humid, with a heavy haze in the air, which looks beautiful in the golden light of late August. Temps earlier up to 24.5, but the breeze is keeping it pleasant. Sitting in the garden while i write this, the garden looks as if it is enjoying the sunshine, many butterflies, masses of flowers and the scent of lillies filling the air. Just about a perfect late summer day - shame about the past 12 weeks really.
