What a delight to catch this hummingbird hawk moth when visiting some gardens in Gloucestershire. There were quite a few. But always so quick. And this was a slow mo video…..

Had almost forgotten what green grass looked like. But it’s not taken long to come back. Even though the leaves are now falling early!

So lovely to get such a nice message from my client. Even more so in this relentless heat. Working out in it being a gardener I’ve almost had enough of it now. But cloud cover and rain would be welcome! Never thought I’d be saying that in the UK. Keep cool!! Stay hydrated! Factor up! ☀️🕶️🏡🪴🪏👩‍🌾

Inevitable really….. watering cans and buckets at the ready!!!!

🚰 Hosepipe Ban in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight from 10 July 🚰

The River Test, one of the world’s rarest chalk streams, is under pressure after months of hot, dry weather. In June, river flows fell to 25% below normal levels.

We’re working hard to protect water supplies and the environment by:
💧Cutting leaks across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight
💧Investing in new reservoirs, water recycling and transfer pipelines
💧Improving chalk stream habitats and migration routes for wildlife

To help protect the River Test and ensure there’s enough water for everyone this summer, a hosepipe ban will come into effect from 10 July for water customers in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.

Thank you to everyone who supported last year’s ban, helping reduce demand by 5%. We’re asking customers to start saving water now, because every drop counts.

Recent rainfall has been low and much of June’s rain was absorbed by dry soils rather than replenishing the aquifers that feed our rivers.

After a very good prune and retrain back when the rose was dormant, its had an amazing display of flowers this month. So rewarding. 🌸
