Crazy Hot Weather Beaned Out Already!

Can it be 1976 again!! Minister for water required! Never mind Brexit & all the B- locks!

Almost runner beaned out here already! Haven't tried them with yoghurt! Yet! All fledged from the bird box, "Great Tits" hope they did ok!

I've been glued to the fan for most of that day, I'm waiting for it to cool down before I water the plants.

Maybe the weather will break soon, school holidays are imminent.

1976! Ah, I remember it well, I was expecting my daughter at the time. I would waddle to work and go straight to the ladies and call for help. Why the ladybirds liked hair I shall never know.

Lovely. The personal memories! 1976. Didn't see that many ladybirds myself in the office/factory! 1977 far more interesting! Steamy spring/summer & change of job ! It's all cabbage whites here at the moment & flying ants on the way soon. ATB

Look what happened last time - it started raining and rained until Christmas...

[Hidden in reply to PMRpro]

Never noticed! Where was I! Oh! Well! Thanks for the update! Always catching up I am!

Must have been 1976:

September and October were exceptionally wet!

[Hidden in reply to PMRpro]

That was entertaining PMR pro. Don't see the old hanky on the head & rolled up trousers now days!

[Constance13 in reply to PMRpro]

That’s what I said to OH the other day. Heaven forbid!

Hope they did okay too. Remember 1976, my sister got married and we travelled from Yorkshire to Sussex in a Simca van, talk about roasted chickens....... Got flying ants here today and I must have disturbed an ants nest but got the blighters with the Nippon, it must be years old but it still worked.

[Hidden in reply to Telian]

Ah so! Not sure if that's still sold these days! Keep well away from the nostrils! A Simca van!!! I was flying around in a Hillman Imp. Life in the fast lane eh!

[Telian in reply to Hidden]

Didn't realise that - thanks for the nostril tip! Yes, thought we were posh it had seats in the back, it was for hubby's work going round the sites (civil engineer). My now late Aunt came with us and she said it was a lovely journey! Hillman Imp was hubby's first car!

The long hot summer of 76😎we travelled to beautiful Cornwall in our Cortina and it rained.

[Hidden in reply to Sandradsn]

Was that a Mark 1 Cortina? Had two of those. Think they only had one key & two colours! The number of times I got into someone else's!! Someone got into my 1st one & never came back with it!

[Sandradsn in reply to Hidden]

Not sure what it was,but it was green with a red bonnet 😂due to damage. Husband was always tinkering with it and underneath it while it was on jacks😮Fun times!

[Hidden in reply to Sandradsn]

Think most were green or grey. Yes many fun times, except when it wouldn't start after stopping somewhere in the middle of nowhere! Ah! the days of fiddling about with a spanner,screwdriver, hammer & carburettor with a mind of it's own!

[Hidden]

Very pleased with my runner beans despite planting late and no water on the allotments they have achieved the top of the wigwams and in full flower so it won't be long.... Picking broad beans and Bobby beans and some peas, I think that all the muck (my neighbour has four horses) I've put on my plot over the years is paying off.xxx

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Lucky you with all that muck! Be good for the rhubarb too! Sure keeps the ground warm in Winter if it's fresh!

[Footfairy-1]

We've already had some rummer beans and our first lot of French beans yesterday. Mmmm delicious. Unfortunately the blackfly have got a lot of the runner beans 😡

[Hidden in reply to Footfairy-1]

No blackfly at the moment here. Going to be a lot of cabbage white caterpillars soon though!
