The heat and humidity is a typical summer for us, but this year we're having a very cool summer in comparison. You'd love it ;) I feel like summer is passing by all too quickly waiting for things to really warm up, but I don't think it's going to happen. I don't think I'd be brave enough to jump off a bridge! I always worry about hitting rocks or that the water isn't deep enough. The heat does make you do crazy things though doesn't it? btw ... what's a thrip?

It all comes and goes as and when we have time. Your photos are beautiful, I mean it. Truly stunning!!! That one of the bee? on the lavender is amazing, so is the butterfly on the thistle. You should enter one or the other - or both - into the Countryfile photo competition, it is all about wildlife this year and these are so beautiful they deserve recognition! Of course, now you will tell me that the closing date has passed! Oh well. Lovely to see how things are progressing on the Cathedral, the new stonework is so beautifully done isn't it, real skill there. Glad that your son had a good time at his prom too!

Still, you've managed to accomplish several things. The walk with your son was lovely (in spite of the bugs). So wonderful that there are lots of butterflies.

The wheat fields reminded me of walking with my yoga group on Tuesday evening when it was so hot and everywhere was so golden that I felt like I was in a different country. The caterpillar is a cinnabar moth and ragwort is usually covered in them - I think I read somewhere that the cinnabar caterpillars are the only ones which can tolerate the toxins in ragwort. xJuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08755261709412075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1604873252635604126.post-63022358327195075632014-07-27T09:27:32.664+01:002014-07-27T09:27:32.664+01:00What a lovely, lovely, post Chel!

I really enjoyed the photos - yes, my summer bets noir is those flamin' thrip! They get everywhere don't they, into the house, under the frame and glass of pictures/photographs etc etc. Never mind, a small price to pay for a lovely summer; I do understand how enervating the heat is - I have restless nights unless the windows are wide open and a breeze blowing through, but isn't it great to have more than 2 consecutive sunny days? As I type it is sunny Sunday here in West Norfolk, and I hope it is sunny - but cool - where you are too!
