Into the final week of summer... or so the Met Office would have us believe.
A week today and the decree will be going out that it's the final day of the season that this year has been record-breaking, in terms of the amount of sunshine, warmth and the lack of rainfall.
However, for the avoidance of doubt, the season of summer doesn't officially end until the equinox, which this year falls on 23 September.
We can't stop the evenings drawing in, but we can bask in the season of summer for another four weeks or so.
Some good news for those wanting to see a splashdown, there is rain and somewhat cooler temperatures forecast, BUT, did I hear a mention of it warming up once again as we head into September?
Meanwhile, another 'blue skies' photograph and this is Seaton Sluice, Northumberland, just north of Whitely Bay – always good for a capture!
