Hot

This is nearly ready to burst open and is enjoying the sunshine so far.. standing 6 feet tall with the bud around 4 inches across at the moment I am looking forward to it opening up in the next few days.
I declined an invitation to go to an engagement party up in London this evening. Far too hot to sit on a train (which since Covid I am not keen to do) then drink in a pub in London for the evening.. no thank you!! Husband has gone all the same.. hope he gets a train home again alright later and that all the lines haven't melted!#
Keeping cool indoors.. actually it is only 32 which is pleasant in the shade and providing you don't have to move :)
