Climate Variations: The weather is constantly variable within the seasons which makes it so fascinating and this month is no exception. In the last week the days were gloriously sunny and warm with refreshing winds while the nights were often cold. Despite a lack of rain, the gardens and grass verges in the area are now in full summer growth and in gardens such as my own there are splendid varieties of wild and cultivated plants vying for space amongst the dense foliage. It is all thanks to the Lord God who says in Leviticus 26:4 “I will give you rains in their season, and the land will yield its produce, and the trees of the field will bear their fruit.” With the temperature forecast to rise to 25-26 degrees C on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (not quite the Bahamas which is 30 degrees) this could mean ‘costa del garden’ sunbathing!
