Yesterday, 21st June, Was the Summer Solstice and the longest day of the year. It did not go dark at all here tonight in the north of the Hebrides. The Butt of Lewis is almost on the same latitude as the most northerly coast of the Scottish mainland.
My garden is in full bloom. Most of my plants are perennials but there are some annuals as well. This is only part of garden part of the plot on which the bungalow is built.
As for the weather the irony is that I am wearing exactly the same clothes at the moment that I wear in the winter: including my Hoggs of Fife winter lined Bushwhacker trousers. As Victor Meldrew would have said "I don't believe it!"
