So far we seem to be having a traditional British summer. The sun is pleasantly warm when it stops raining, which it does, from time to time.

On days off, the washing is hung out, then twenty minutes later there's a dash outside to rescue the washing, with cries of, "Oh, make up your mind, weather!"

Our early morning walks through the forest are sometimes accompanied by the rain drumming on my umbrella, sometimes by cold and damp and mist and sunlight and honeysuckle scent.

8 degrees C at 6am this morning, which is a little on the chilly side for July. But that's fine. I'd rather be wearing gloves in July than dealing with a heatwave.

Love it.

One advantage of our not very summery summer - the clouds are spectacular!

This looks like our part of California. Our high temp today will be about 26-27 C which is amazing for July 4. We're just as likely to see 40 C.

Oof. I can barely cope with 25C...

I was surprised how yellow the grass was looking after all the rain we had in June, but down by the coast the soil is really thin, so the fields always look parched in summer.

It looks like you are having a lovely summer. And that sky in the photo, gorgeous.

We are having hot weather but no smoke in the air from fires so I am happy about that and thankful so far.

Yes, I like this sort of summer. I really don't mind the cool and the rain, as long as we get a day or two with clouds like that...
