Welcome to this week’s #PoCoLo - a friendly linky which I co-host with Suzanne, where you can link any blog post published in the last week. We know you’ll find some great posts to read, and maybe some new-to-you blogs too, so do pop over and visit some of the posts linked and share some of that love. If you were here last week it was great to have you along, if you’re new here this week we’re pleased you’re here.
This week no doubt you’ll have seen that in the UK we’ve been experiencing record breaking temperatures at the start of this week. I hope you all managed to keep (relatively) cool and healthy. Along with the high temperatures there were also wildfires, which are devastating to see, let alone experience first hand. On the hottest day with temperatures of 38 degrees Celsius for us we mostly stayed inside following the advice. MOH was a bit like a caged bird, but ventured out onto our patio briefly at lunchtime quickly coming back in declaring that it was “like Barbados out there” - and he wasn’t wrong.
Much has been said about the temperatures and how this is likely to happen more often because of climate change. I think we have a long way to go in changing attitudes here, let alone adapting our buildings and infrastructure. But it comes to something when we think that temperatures of 26 degrees, which followed the next day, as cool.
