Friday saw the highest temperature of the year just topping yesterday's figure to reach 25.1°C. I deliberately haven't termed it warmest day as Thursday's average temperature was slightly higher.

As it was such a pleasant day we did some gardening at home. During one of our many breaks for drinks we spotted a bullfinch visiting our bird table. This is the first bullfinch we've seen in our garden but it was only a fleeting visit and neither of us had a camera at the ready. It was a male and a very striking visitor. This is one photographed at RSPB Low Moor earlier in the year.

I also potted up some tomatoes and peppers in our "air pot" experiment. I saw these pots on BBC's Beechgrove Garden the other week and decided to give them a try following there successful trial in the programme last year.
