I promised I'd upload some of your fantastic photos taken in recent days in the county as the mercury has risen, so here they are!

Thanks to everyone who sent me a picture. Do you recognise the locations?

Confused?

Here's my taste of autumn at Westonbirt this week...however we are expecting 24 degrees this Wednesday!

We will be celebrating this unusual weather on Wednesday's show...any photos of this wonderful autumnal heat wave and or any classic photos of our ever changing seasons would be great...cummings@bbc.co.uk

Enjoy the last stunning morning for the next few days.

Many thanks to John for this vision from 6.30am on Thursday morning. Pink sky and vapour trails over the Cotswold scarp...spanning from Frocester Hill to Downham Hill including the profile of Long Down and the pimple of Cam.

Can we help Arlingham hang onto their phone box?

The charges for keeping the light on have risen from 7 pounds to 70 pounds a quarter! The parish council can't afford this so what can we do?

I've done a deal with a solar panel company...so if we can sort out the planning issues and other practicalities this lovely old box might remain...I'll keep you posted!

So here is the story that got the county talking today.

The heart of Gloucester could be represented in Parliament by the Forest of Dean MP! That's the main impact here in the county following national plans to cut the number of MPs from 650 down to 600.

Gloucestershire wont lose an MP - but the small Forest of Dean constituency needs more people ...so the proposal is to move Gloucester's Westgate ward - including the Cathedral and the docks...here is today's reaction.

Ray in Gloucester thinks they should explain why they are putting another 160 unelected people into the House of Lords rather than trying to chop down elected mps in the commons by 50.

Marge in Gloucester lives in Westgate Street right by the cathedral and is not a forester. if they do this she wont vote.

Michael emails to ask would Richard Graham become MP for Barton st Marys if the boundary commission remove Westgate, the historic centre of Gloucester and call it the Forest of Dean? Removing Westgate from Gloucester is like cutting its heart out.

John in Kingsholm questions that if the Westgate ward covers west Kingsholm and therefore Gloucester rugby club do we need to change our chant from "glawster glawster" to "fawrster fawrster" ?

Roger from Hucclecote thinks it's all being suggested to ensure that certain mps retain their seats.

Colin in Ruspidge says he was born in the old hospital at the dock end of Southgate Street...will the proposed change now make him a Forester?

Graham in Gloucester says if someone asked you to chop out the middle of your house to balance it up, you would have something to say about it and it wouldn't be the same. if you take the middle out of Gloucester the same applies.

Graham in Ruspidge says many years ago the forest of dean area was known as west Gloucestershire including Churchdown...this is all a fuss over nothing and something somewhere in the UK and probably Gloucestershire will have to give.

Michael in St Michael's square says as a city centre resident he feels disenfranchised by the boundary commission's bonkers plan to move the whole of Westgate ward into the forest...would that not mean there was not an mp for Gloucester? How can you have an mp for gloucester when the whole of the city centre is apart of the forest of dean?

Dave in Longlevens says given most of the issues we have in Longlevens relate to Gloucester and it is perceived that writing to the Tewkesbury mp is a waste of time. why? because the Tewkesbury mp could be embroiled with a city issue and well away from his patch. to complicate it even more in Longlevens we pay our council tax to Gloucester.

Bob in Rodborough says if this is all the government can come up with then they need to get rid of the boundary commission. They trying to make things equal and in reality that can never be fully achieved. it's more important to keep communities together.

What do you reckon? cummings@bbc.co.uk

The traders in Stonehouse (pictured) would love you to enjoy their celebrations on Saturday...the road works have gone so a fun day for all is planned. Lots on over the next few days...Frampton Show...Newent Onion Fayre...Gloucester v Worcester in the rugby...and so much more.

I'll be with you on Monday...any late summer photos for the blog would be great!!

Have you ever read someone else's diary...and regretted it?

On Wednesday's show we look at a high tech twist on an age old issue. Millions of adults are self confessed computer hackers with more than 1 in 10 admitting they have accessed someone else's online account details.

We will look at what is still possible/legal/illegal online and why can't some people resist the temptation to look at someone's private data.

How good are you at resisting temptation? Have you ever read someone's diary, looked at a text message, snuck a peak at your child's Facebook page, just happened to have read someone's personal email?

If you have a cracking story to tell do post a comment or email me at cummings@bbc.co.uk

Little Britain comedian David Walliams has begun his swim along the River Thames from Gloucestershire to London in his latest fundraising effort.

He started at the river's source near Lechlade and will finish at Big Ben.

He spoke to us on the breakfast show this morning.
