I hope that this heatwave ends tonight as predicted. Not with the storms, I do not care for them much, I just want some cooler air. We are not even able to have our windows open today as our neighbours are having the whole of their front garden crazy paved. The builder is using a petrol driven cutter to size the pieces and petrol fumes are filling our property not to mention great clouds of choking dust. The last thing we needed in this heat.
I must thank you all for your suggestions for songs that Nathan could be singing. You made me smile. I think though that Sara has to be the person who has come out tops as she included a site in her comment.
Pavarotti Loves Elephants. By Joel Veitch, rathergood.com
Totally mad, but funny. Thanks Sara for the laugh.
Him indoors had to go for a business appointment yesterday and on the way back he stopped in at the Priory. I have written about this place before and put on pictures of the gardens in the winter. Mike thought that the walled garden would look lovely at this time of year. It does, but not as good as in previous years due to the lack of rain. The ground is so dry, the grass is going brown and the plants are struggling. I have chosen some shots to put on here
I might just have to go and lie in a cool bath for a couple of hours, why can't summers be like they used to - pleasant and sunny but not boiling hot!
I shall leave you with a bit of humour.
A van carrying a load of the male sexual potency enhancement drug Viagra has been reported stolen. Police are looking for hardened criminals.

I stumbled on your journal by accident, being backward with computers. I found your garden refreshing and was guilty of the sin of envy! Enjoyed the jokes, even the viagra one. Like you say humour is an important part of life as I say each morning as I look in the mirror!

The gardens are so pretty. My neighbor has some of those kind of pretty cannas. They are very tall now. I need to go next door and get a shot of them. Hope all of you in your area get the much needed rain w/out the storms. Helen
P.S. the elephant song was very cute, that could very well be what Nathan is singing. LOL
What great pictures
I hope your heat wave ends soon, Jeannette!

What a wonderful place those Priory gardens are. Beautiful. They must be lovely to wander about in - but perhaps not in this burning heat. I think we need to look seriously at what the Arabs wear. Those long flowing robe things keep you very cool, apparently.

I got that one, too! Whew! I was afraid I had lost my sense of humor! Hope you get some relief from the heat soon! JAE
Your photos of the Priory are inviting and magnificient. A little laughter goes a long way. - Mark
Those gardens look tops! Hardened criminals indeed!

Love the joke Jeannette! The heat is really getting to me now. It just has to break soon or I`ll completely melt away....! That choking dust must be dreadful. I don`t know how you can breathe with all that going on around you. Love the silly song! :-)

*groan* at the joke lol...........Piccies look nice - I'm hoping for cooler air today but like yourself I can't stand storms :-(
Gorgeous Photos! I could be sooo content (for hours) among that garden! Hope you get some cooler air soon my friend and less fumes from the neighbors paving ;o)
(((Love & Hugs)))

I knew you'd love the elephant song :o)
It must be awful sitting inside with the windows shut in this heat Jeannette! I so hope the weather breaks over night or tomorrow. Can't stand another day like today, and that was with windows open!
Beautiful pics. I can imagine finding myself a nice bench there and sitting enjoying the sights and smells.

The heatwave has been too much for me too.We have storms forecast for tomorrow too.LOL at the Viagra joke!!Reminds me of tale my sister told me about a man who died after taking Viagra. . .she said they could not get the coffin lid on!!I laughed at that so much!
The gardens are beautiful...I can imagine how much greener they would be with some of our humidity that we have here in Florida...too much rain....Sandi
Hello again.....Its been beyond fuel igniting hot here in Georgia. Pretty soon I'm going to cook in this heat. I didn't think it would be this hot this summer. Its amazing that the sun doesn't melt with this intensely hot weather. On a different note your garden is amazing and quite beautiful. This garden is a true sparkling jewel with all the colors in this garden. This garden should be featured on television on HGTV. Thanks again for your journal....
The gardens are beautiful. I hope rain comes soon to cool off the heat wave you're going through. It's been scorching hot here too which is unusual for this time of year. Way to early in summer to be in the 90's!
I imagined Nathan sining the "Elephant" song. lol Very funny! lol The pictures are very beautiful, honey! xox

Those gardens look great compared to my overgrown dead desert. Everything has run to seed, the rain has bashed it down and I need a machete to cut a path through it all! I reckon I'm going to grow cacti instead - at least they won't need watering, run to seed or flop everywhere.
