7.30 pm and still sat in the garden

Basgetti - I have always hated eating outside, no reason just preference. I hate the noise and anti social behaviour that accompanies hot weather. And as lovely and pretty Spring and Summer are nothing is as beautiful as Autumn and all the lovely colours.

I took my dog out at 7 when it was cooler . We have eaten in the garden the last two days . Now watering my plants and listening to the birds . My Merlin app is very busy .

Absolute hell for me. I cannot think of anything worse than eating outside. I love Autumn the best.

I agree, I dislike the heat.

Why carry crockery and food outside only to bring back in?

We walk the dog at 5am and 9pm only.

We garden only in shaded areas, moving spaces often.

Air con on. Bring on winter, then we can ski!
