Summer’s day

We have had some wonderful sunny weather recently. I have been rather lazy and sat about drinking tea and reading. You can see under the parasol my recently made planter put to good use and supporting the colourful annuals. It takes one of us almost an hour to water them all -there are others out of shot- on an evening. The water has to be put on slowly otherwise it simply gushes over and doesn’t soak in.

The other two granddaughters finished school today. I don’t know why the local schools finish on different days; probably to do with ‘training days’ whatever they are. we are set up to go on holiday soon. Five females and myself. There is a clubhouse so I can always turn to drink if things become too tough for me 🙂

I do hope the sea has warmed up because no doubt I will be spending a lot of time in it. They are all good swimmers and seem to be impervious to the cold. I will have to toughen up won’t I.
