Looks pretty good. Peas like cool, tomatoes prefer hot and dry, so peas will be producing before toms.
Everything is a month late in west/north UK this year. So probably about where they should be, and hopefully we get a dry warm September to ripen things properly.
I grow tomatoes, cucumbers, summer squash/melons and peppers/chillis in the polytunnel, it's not just about temperature, it's also wet and wind that affects them.
As it gets warmer, peas get less happy but toms and curcubits like it.
If you want toms consistently anywhere in the west or north of UK, you need to grow under cover really. Even in east Wales they are marginal outside, and just too wet in west Wales. Maybe if you were on the east coast of Scotland and had a cold hardy variety you'd be OK without cover, but polytunnel or greenhouse will help- and extends the growing season for other stuff too.
