It's that time of the year again when the butter is spreadable straight from the dish.

Did you even grow up in the UK if you don't have 'summer' holiday snaps like this?

(In case you can't tell, I'm the one drowning in her parka on the left.)

The thermometer says it's 20 degrees C in here today. It feels like 5!

I've had to put on my British Home Stores body warmer.

Huh? So much for it raining all day eh? We have a new sparkling white wine in from local wine producers #Dunleavy using Seyval Blanc grapea grown in Somerset. The fruity finish seems pretty apt for this bonus sunshine. How does it pair with our Greek food from #Pitaria? Pop down after 5pm and find out!

Just come back from your summer hols? Where'd you go anywhere nice? France? Portugal? Croatia? Or maybe Greece? If you're missing the Greek vibe and the sunshine pop down Wells Road this lunchtime and relive holiday memories with some amazing food from #Pitaria. Any wrap plus a pint will save you money until 2pm, or dive in to the other authentic Greek dishes with a pint of our Safe European Lager and forget the fact that it's raining.

Ooh batten down the hatches, apparently the weather gods have decreed that next week will be summer. Quite possibly our only week of summer.

Of course it ends by the weekend, but then we almost never get summer at a weekend so that's no surprise.

No, of course I wasn't looking forward to those

I can say with 100% certainty that I'm going to get wet today!

Flaming June

Lots of progress made while out in the sun today!

Lovely.

Also, turns out these patio chairs are the most comfortable way to sit at this crappy tapestry frame!

Finally-some reddened tomatoes! In mid-August last year I was picking loads of ripe tomatoes. This year, 6th September and I’m about to pick just the first few. Not even a hint of red yet on the bigger variety. What a contrast! #BritishSummer

Midday in August and I've got the Big Light on...

I'm not saying the weather is bad, but I've just heard one of 'our' hedgehogs sneezing! #Hedgehog #Hedgehogs #Nature #Llandaff #Cardiff #Weather #BritishSummer

Inside my flat in #London at 2.40pm on Saturday: a “normal” #climatebreakdown afternoon: so dark it is impossible to see without lights. I cannot bear to think about the impact on #energy consumption and #costofliving if we can’t even use #Summer to slow burning #fossilfuels (yes, because HALF of #Britain’s #electricity is generated by #gas) https://www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2022/sep/electricity-prices-dictated-gas-producers-who-provide-less-half-uk-electricity#:~:text=6%20September%202022,costs%2084%25%20of%20the%20time. #BritishSummer #climatediary

Am in Sheffield & getting called "duck" a lot; I think it's because of all the rain.
