When the sunshine came to Beech Road ……..

So, nothing more historical, than a record of when the sun shone down on Beech Road last weekend.

Drinks in the early afternoon, 2023

In the early afternoon of Sunday, we treated ourselves to a drink having spent two mornings under a ferocious sun taming the gardens.

Shadows in the late afternoon, 2023

We broke the "no mow in May" rule but given that the end of the month was close and we hadn’t cut the grass since September I think nature, the pollinating insects and the creepy crawlies in the undergrowth weren’t to challenged.

Leaving me to present three pictures ....... early afternoon, late afternoon, and early morning in the sun.

Mrs. Trellis of Provis Road will object that this is not a very historical story for a blog about the past, and she would be correct.

But then as the rain of July and August runs into September, we may just want to look back on a time when it was hot and sunny for days on end, like it was when we were all kids.

‘nuff said.
