I'm glad I fired up the boiler yesterday for our hot water supply, because it is so cold that the downstairs underfloor came on this morning... for the first time in three weeks!<br />And whilst the veg, etc are just standing still and shivering... the grass and weeds are growing like crazy. One of our friends here who runs a gardening business said he has had to mow for clients ten times already this year. His records go back ten years and the previous earliest he's ever had to mow ten times was the 20th of July.<br />Tim [on Pauline's machine]Pollygarterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519711639714303756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-64197324537568546182012-06-13T09:17:37.564+02:002012-06-13T09:17:37.564+02:00I can confirm that the wind has been blowing in Pr...I can confirm that the wind has been blowing in Provence.
