Good morning all.

We're headed for the hottest day of the year - it could hit 34C /93F today.

Today's early task is cutting the lawn. Heat-avoidance rather than tortoise-avoidance this time.

Leaves and flowers of cats ear, white clover and red clover.

White clover was Joe's absolute favourite. The flowers are quite sugary which is why the bees love them too. There's not enough sugar to be of concern with a tort though
