The last day of heat

Or so we're led to believe... As I pulled up alongside the green today a class were having their PE lesson. It looked glorious in the sunshine with their rosy faces and joyous skipping. But of course I couldn't blip that because it's against school rules to post photos of even my own son in uniform on "social networking" sites. Photos of other kids goes a step further!

So instead something from one of the gardens overlooking the green. The house this belongs to looks like your typical chocolate box country cottage and is next door to my dream house. I wouldn't say no to this one either if it were offered to me.

I think it's magnolia (based on limited knowledge and some other blips I've seen over the last week) but could be wrong. If it is magnolia, how come it's not the colour of the paint?
