The rest of June, then: it's the same old, same old, I'm afraid, largely lacking inspiration and novelty, but in that, reflecting my mood. Disappointing summer in the garden, too, and I've been sparing with my choice of pics of that

July was a strange month: hot and dry and often stifling. To my mind, too, a less than stellar selection of photos, although there were one or two times when I got out of my (dis)comfort zone. I start with a visit to Hestercombe Gardens (again - I have a season ticket)
