Too hot to trot…….

…..far today, this sudden surprise summer thing has come as a bit of a shock to the system…..the kitchen thermometer is already showing 27degC and the sun's 'not round' to the back of the house yet…..it'll be a cool shower before teatime at this rate. I've also declared it a day off from larnyerselgeordie lessons apart for an optional mid-term quiz, because me nappa's knackered due to the stife ;-)

Anyone know what this plant/shrub (it's about 2m high) at the bottom of my garden is?……because I don't…...
