In the last few days of June summer had seemingly arrived, and this looked set to continue for the first week of July. Indeed it continued until at least the middle of the month. Not wall to wall sunshine but generally dry and warm, nothing to complain about. I've taken to my bike, going out four or five times a week , exploring new places and invariably taking my camera with me.

Thursday 25th saw the hottest day of the year so far, it was 30C according to my car thermometer when I was down at Severn Tunnel Junction, and boy did it feel like it too!
