NEARLY AUTUMN...

I can't believe it's nearly a month since I last posted on here! Where have those weeks gone to?!
I hope you are all keeping well...we've had some fabulous weather over the last 6 weeks...apparently it's been the longest spell of hot weather in England for SIX years!! I managed to keep my plants watered throughout all the sunshine! I bottle-watered them in the morning, then again at lunch time, then misted them with the hose in the evening...it was worth all the effort, as it looks lovely!

I follow quite a few Blogs, but can't seem to get them on my side bar...
If anybody knows how to do it, can you tell me please?! Thanks!
