Hot weather at the Royal Horticultural Society flower show at Hampton Court Palace. My mother has been staying with me so she can visit the flower show.

When, in thirty-degree heat, we found the BBC’s tiny water garden, with shade, cushions and a small swing laid out over a pond, it looked like the perfect place for an afternoon’s reading.
