  7. Nice to find cool shade for the dogs! Upon reading the above comments, I saw that the temp in London is supposed to be 39 degrees Celsius. if it does get that hot, I wonder if it will break the record for heat.

    1. Thank you so much for your kind words dear Laurie 🙂💜 When we lived in London the hottest it ever got was around 32C and you could see the diesel fumes from taxis and buses hanging in the air. 39C would be the hottest temperature on record for London and I imagine it will be fairly uncomfortable. Here’s hoping it will cool down again soon! 🙂🐾💖🐾 xxx
