My challenge to post every day this July has yet again resulted in me tapping away in bed last thing, after forgetting once more. At least I have done it! Tomorrow it will be the turn of my other blog - Green Bough in my Heart - maybe I will remember in good time...
The promised heat wave is here - summer as we remember it! (even if our memories are false)

The promised heat wave is here - summer as we remember it! (even if our memories are false)
"Now summer is in flower and natures hum
Is never silent round her sultry bloom
Insects as small as dust are never done
Wi' glittering dance and reeling in the sun
And green wood fly and blossom haunting bee
Are never weary of their melody
Round field and hedge now flowers in full glory twine
Large bindweed bells wild hop and streakd woodbine
That lift athirst their slender throated flowers
Agape for dew falls and for honey showers
These round each bush in sweet disorder run
And spread their wild hues to the sultry sun."
John Clare
