Hotter than July

As I write this we are experiencing a first ever red heat warning. Hotter than July was a label on a box of bedding plants I purchased one year, never more appropriate than today! It is of course important to remember other creatures that require habitats cool and damp. Beetles are an essential part of the insect world being beneficial in so many ways to the world in general and specifically our churchyard. To this end it was decided to create a specific habitat for them and a Beetle bucket has been made and sited in the churchyard.
