​A blistering hot day for our walk at Ushaw Moor today. Here, we had to wade through this dried grassy meadow, but thankfully, a lot of the walk was in shade.

​Thornton Hall Gardens today. Very hot but beautiful blooms.

​I’ve had this for decades but could never use it in the U.S. as eggs have to be refrigerated there. I love having it back as my egg storage now, with a nest of hay at the bottom. 

​Had the beach to myself for a while as I hunted for sea glass. 

​A glorious field of wildflowers 10 minutes from home.

​The start of the finale at Kynren tonight, An Epic Tale of England. It was fabulous.

​The sun throwing spectrums into my lounge lit up the carpet in a pretty way.
