The weather here on the island has been very hot over the past week. The caravan has suddenly transformed from fridge to oven..
The temperature gauge inside recorded 26 degrees centigrade yesterday, and that’s uncomfortably warm for us. Especially when opening windows to try and catch a breeze results in swarms of midges coming in off the croft…reminder to self, we must get some midge netting fitted to the windows.
The seedlings however are loving it. Uncle Bert’s Kale is growing madly, the potato plants are all greening up nicely and I have my first bean on my borlotti bean plant!
It was too hot to cook indoors yesterday and we were too tired to summon up a BBQ, so we headed down to Camuscross early to try and get a table for a cold drink and some supper. It’s so good to be able to do that again now that lockdown has eased.
There are worse places to be on a hot June evening… This time last year we were in London… I know where I’d rather be.

Once again I am reminded of the difference between our temperature zones!! Here it is a cool day at 26`C; our Winter highs are about that. Our Summer (and often Spring now) highs are more like 42`C, with the odd day almost reaching 50`C.

I don’t know how you do it! I’m not sure that I could cope in that level of heat 🔥 💕

We are acclimatised to it, I guess. I would find it hard to cope with the cold there.

Aren’t we resilient as humans with this huge span of temperature tolerances!

I loved caravans, the simplicity of everything to hand.

Yes, it pares everything back to the essentials. It’s amazing how little we actually need 😊
