What a day, 32 degree heat and trips to Perge and Aspendos what amazing treasures, I always wish I could bump into Bettany Hughes as I wander around. #treasuresofturkiye ❤️🇹🇷

One of the colonnaded streets at Perge with drainage channels under the road and marks if chariots and carts in the road surface.

Looking up towards the Nympahion of Kestros at Perge it must have been a wonderful place to visit in it's heyday.

The wonderful terraced steps of the theatre at Aspendos it features two tiers of seating with a walkway dividing them and a walkway at the top which is open so that air can circulate.

Hairy heliotrope, so named because its flowers turn to the sun (and it's obvs covered in hairs!). Seen beside a coastal track, Syros.

Fat fingers of a dusky green creeping plant lie over dry soil, rocks & leaf litter. It is covered in hairs & the blooms & faded blooms of tiny white flowers with yellow centres, as well as several leaves.

So this photo popped up in my memories today. I loved this dog, he was strong, athletic and knew his own mind (his views on where the sheep should go not always in alignment with the shepherd 😂). Oscar you are missed. ❤️

A hugely embarrassing win for Farage in the Clacton by-election. Reform had been touting a 79% victory. Instead he got 63% against Count Binface who pulled in nearly 27%. Petulantly Farage didn’t turn up for the count to give a speech. The investigation into his finances begins again.

Sedums are beginning to come into their own just now, luckily they have tolerated the extremely dry summer. Great news for the bees 🐝 #gardeningfeed 🌱

The deep pink flowers of sedum purple emperor just emerging from flower buds with a honey bee feeding on the pollen behind are the deep pinky purple leaves which are fleshy.

🌱 #sixonSaturday from my tiny garden. Full description in Alt text. I’m surprised but very grateful that my garden (apart from the lawn) seems to be surviving the heat and drought. From next Friday we have a hosepipe ban. Oh joy!! Perhaps that will encourage the rain.

A collage of six photos from my tiny garden. The large picture is from my perennial Sweetpea. The small pictures are a bicoloured Dahlia with pink and white flowers. It was a gift from a fellow volunteer. Below are the bright pink flowers of Lagerstroemia or Crepe Myrtle. The bottom row Clematis Lydia, white Cosmos and yellow toadflax or Linaria vulgaris.
