On this very hot day here in Somerset, we now have a heatwave, it’s just a bit warm for the U.K. and tomorrow parts of England could reach 40+ c. In our climate it’s over powering, we have summers that are cooler than Europe with a wet sapping heat, while down in the south of Europe they have a dry heat which is usual bearable and you don’t notice the temperatures so much. At the moment many parts of Europe are in temperatures beyond their usual for this time of year and many countries are suffering with wild fires. I always feel sorry for the wild animals, they are the ones who get left behind and suffer. Trees can grow again or be replanted, animals can not be replaced so easily.
Today i am showing some knitting I have been knitting over the last couple of months some elephants, This is an old pattern which I have knitted so many times, I did two girl elephants, both I did slightly different than usual and made a shawl, instead of a ribbon around their necks and a boy elephant, I made a scarf for him. I think this is Chelsea football colours, I’m not a football fan so if I am wrong I am sure someone will post right or wrong.

I hope you are staying cool in the heat, we are not going out tomorrow or Tuesday, we are going to stay in the cool as much as possible, No gardening, I have been band from the craft room as it’s too hot, the sun hits first thing in the morning and it’s very hot in there even with the blinds shut.
Take care
Margaret
Nagyon szép az elefánt, érdekes hogy kötve van és nem horgolva...Inkább megszokott a horgolás... még soha nem kötöttem, és nem is tudom, hogy megy a menete...gratulálok!Ma itt is megint nagyon meleg van...Jó hüsölést és jó kézimunkázást kívánok!
