Canicule

We’ve been enjoying a rather pleasant heatwave or ‘canicule’ this last couple of weeks, as daily blue skies with temperatures of around 28°c–30°c flow one after another.

But yesterday the weather broke, and we had a very welcome storm. I say welcome, I think it was for some, but I’m not so sure the cereal farmers would have liked it, as their fields are very close to harvest.

The rain was actually quite localised, and as we drove home I was wondering if our garden had received a good soaking. Luckily it had.
