Just the weather for a picnic

Phew. What a scorcher! Well not quite as hot as the Sun and the Daily Express would have you believe but good enough to let the girls have a picnic on Victoria Park - just down the road from where we live. Helen did it all in the traditional chav fashion - bought the sandwiches in packets from Sainsbury's etc ....Rosie loved it. She also kept telling Emily off for touching the sandwiches and wraps! Good girl! The heat though, while welcome, is a bit worrying. Is it global warming coming home to roost - will our choice of a North facing garden prove to be a boon in our warmer summers?
