It looks like a summer heatwave (albeit a mini one) is upon us. After an initially grey start the day became increasingly hot. No doubt it will only last for a few days which is quite enjoyable unlike other parts of Europe where there is talk of temperatures going up into the 40s. Not so much fun.
I have spent the whole day hedge cutting. I began by running a string along the side of the street-side hedge to give myself a line to cut to. My aim for the day was to at least cut a section back from the string all the way along the hedge. This I achieved and then began the harder job of cutting back right across the width of the hedge.
This was into the old growth so had to be done by hand. Hopefully I haven't over done it. This time I went back to my usual way of cutting up and bagging the clippings as I went along. Not only did that mean I could stop at any time but it also meant that I was moving around more and changing what I was doing.
By the end of a long day one third of the hedge has been cut back across the width. I reckon that two more long sessions should get that hedge done and then there's only the hedge between us and next door to cut back.
As usual there were a few conversations with the neighbours including a long horsey chat with the daughter of the lady who lives next door.
Last night's silvery sea.
