A photo heavy post, documenting the plant life throughout our two gardens during this summer. These photos are from the second day of Summer, 22st June, until a few days before the first day of Autumn, 22nd September. If you'd like to see the photos from the first day of Summer, check out these posts: Summer Solstice Walk at Beamish Valley, & Our Litha Celebrations. Photos from the first day of Autumn will be coming soon!
We are very happily and luckily based on the North East coast of England, and so, although we were subject to unfortunate scorching temperatures, they weren't as bad as down South where hosepipe bans were implemented and everything green turned brown. Still, it is evident (especially when comparing past years photos) how much our natural world is being effected by Climate Change. Earlier flowering seasons, shorter overall blooming time, quicker going to seed times, multiple die backs and reflowering, later flowering, and so much more.
That being said, there has also been a huge difference in wildlife too which I plan to share in a separate post later in the year.
And now, I'll leave the photos to do the talking.
