I went to the cemetery on Saturday to "decorate" the family grave. Always lots of folks there doing same. Makes me sad though to see the graves that are over run with leggy bushes and are not decorated. No living relatives I guess.
As I was putting in my petunias, ageratum and nicotianas a man stopped and asked if I was my aunt. Turns out his grandmother and mine were best friends and he comes some distance every year to tend his grandparents grave in our cemetery then goes to somewhere in NH to look after the other side of the family!
Rest of the weekend was hot so only able to muster retail therapy!

Rest of the weekend was hot...

Well, as per usual, we had rubbish weather all weekend & especially on Monday until the weekend was winding down - then the sun came out & the weather started improving just in time to go back to work.  ::)

Hope everyone had a relaxing time at least.

Went to Barcelona and Primaverasound Festival and it was hot (feet still swollen :() and fabulous. Wish we had more time for sight seeing but saw some amazing bands - Pulp. Only downside, was friends dSLR was stolen from him on his way back to our apartment...The camera isnt soo much of bother, just hoping someone found the memory card..

Hope we can go again next year
