Outside in the heat wave

Raspberries discovered under the weeds in the garden

Love the colour of this hollyhock

Pleased to find this in a charity shop this week

Fancy brickwork on some old houses in Petersfield

New monoprint cards made by Carol Smith in the shop now

We're having a heat wave - a friend just got back from Turkey and the temperature was the same! My garden is overgrown - it's too hot to tackle it...

On my day off I walked round Midhurst and if I closed my eyes I could imagine being in a desert with the sun beating down on my head! I found the pretty embroidery book in Midhurst and a useful set of drawers for shop display.

The shop has been busy lately and it's good to have some new stock like these monoprint cards with pastel that local artist Carol Smith has just brought in.
