I reckon the best of summer is now over and it has been hot hot hot, the nights are starting to close in and there is a nip in the evening air. Last year l was attacked everytime l went out of the house by midges because it was humid, still and very damp - so far this year l have not needed my head net or head to toe covering. I think the hot weather and the strong winds we have been getting is keeping them away.....hopefully. 
My garden has been amazing and the border looks like it has been there for years and not just the 18 months since we started it. I have been moving a few plants around to better position them and yesterday l bought my first lot of tulip bulbs ready for november planting - l have gone for Queen of The Night which is a deep purple and Mistress which is a light pink, along with more alliums. I am keeping to a colour scheme this time and just need some white lily tulips to complete....so excited and can't wait to see them in bloom....sad or what??? It is the little things that make me happy :)
