My Climate Change Garden

Staying with the weather theme I wonder if you have any idea where this photo was taken today?

Not Spain, not the South of France or even a tropical island. I took this photo at lunch time along the sea front at Eastbourne on the South Coast of the UK – sometimes known as god’s waiting room or the sunniest place in the UK.

Great to have some lovely heat and sunshine back after endless days of rain and grey cloud over the past week.

I really hate to moan about our very wet weather this summer when parts of Afrca are suffering such severe drought and putting so many lives at risk.In my experience gardeners are usually compassionate people who care about the earth they live on and the people who inhabit it which is why I am offering this link today

The weather never ceases to amaze me – it truly is the one thing we just can’t control and we should be aware of the effect we are having on it.
