the weather in the uk has been truly abysmal for the past 6 weeks. it's rained nearly every day and been cold. not just a bit of a cool breeze but proper jumper weather. so our poor tomatoes have been getting nice and fat with all the rain, but green as green can be, due to the dearth of sunshine.
we've just hit a turnaround in the weather and we're on our second day of warm, warm, gorgeous sunshine. yesterday we spent the day in a friend's garden and it was scorching. i got enough sun for my freckles to come out. and the tomatoes are loving it! we're due more of the same, a bit cooler, but mostly sunny, for the next week, so we should have an abundance of juicy, ruby red tomatoes by this time next week. huzzah!

yummy tomatoes!
