Sunshades on a hot day

We had a very hot day today and there are heatwave warnings that the next few days will be even hotter still.

A hot day in St Neots

The photo shows people at the Bridge Inn. They are sitting on the river terrace relaxing. This was earlier in the day but by mid afternoon most people were looking for shade or (even better) air conditioning.

The temperatures in the shade topped 28 C today, not high by some standards, but pretty good for northerly lands like the UK.

I did some work in the garden and made quite a bit of progress, but it felt better to work in the shade and not to be too active!

Days like this are really very welcome in Britain because we don't get that many of them. On the other hand we we start to grumble about a drought if weather like this went on for several more weeks.

You just can't please the Brits when it comes to weather!
