Definitely summer when the garden beastie bites start to itch and the Tiger Balm is in constant demand! Did some hedging yesterday and some of the wee critters whose homes I was disturbing got cross 
!
Definitely summer when, even though the outside temperature was only 2.7°C when I got up at six, by seven thirty it had gone up by three degrees. And it's still going up under a summer sky.
Definitely summer when I can do a stint of mowing one day and a stint of hedging the next and my chest doesn't hurt later on 
.
Will try! But not very hopeful!
A day of extra treats ......... a basket full of Lemon Balm, (which is a marvellous infusion to drink just before bed for a sound sleep), Borage, whose beautiful star blue flowers look fabulous (and taste like cucumber) in a green salad, and Apple Mint, for a softer and less aggressive flavour to spearmint. All potted up and ready to plant, but only after they'd had a chance to get over the shock of being moved.
All in all, a 'making day' to remember, of willows and herbs and friendship.
Hope the sun shines for you tomorrow, jeni

Flowers in the hair, Bags - takes me back a bit.
Me too. I can just see her!
Yes, happy May Day to all. We've had warmer ones here but it is sunny and breezy and bright. DD's hairband was stuffed full of cherry blossom that she picked up from the school playground when I went to collect her (early, for an orthodondist appointment) yesterday . The wind was blowing bunches of it down. The odd thing was that none of the other kids had done anything with the masses of flowers. So strange! So sad that they appear to be out of touch with the joys of nature. Some of the terribly grown up eleven and twelve year olds even scoffed! Fortunately she doesn't care, and anyway the younger kids and the teachers loved it.

your view today soop I bet it gladdens the heart.
And to you, soop. Beautifully fresh air and sunshine today, windows open, duvet airing from the window, and the apple blossom is blushing for May.
