Heat, fires, flowers and spiders!
We had more hot weather yesterday. It was 40C by 10.40 am, and the temperature hovered in the high 30's for the rest of the day. Thankfully we've had a lovely morning with temperatures in the low 20's.

Unfortunately, it takes a while for it to load, but it's worthwhile when it has!
