Friday 10th July Today’s shaping up to be a real scorcher, with the mercury pushing up to 34°C beneath partly cloudy skies and not a drop of rain in sight. It'll feel hot right through until evening, so best to take things slow and keep a cold drink handy. If you fancy doing something a bit different, it could be the perfect excuse to dig out the paddling pool or rig up a homemade water slide in the garden—makeshift fun for the young or just young at heart. If you’re more of a shade-seeker, maybe bring out an old novel and set up camp under the biggest tree you can find until things cool off later on.
