St Swithun's Day 2023

 This time last year our Purple Emperors were sweating out the beginnings of the record-breaking mid-July heatwave, which saw 40.3C on July 19th...

Yesterday, St Swithun's Day, they were forced to hunker down and sit out a fully-fledged autumnal gale...

When the wind dies down, we will find out how well they have survived.

The survivors will be very hungry. Make for the sap run oaks...
