Today it was sunny so...

I sheltered in a nice, cool pub.

I spent the day with my friends, and my kids, and my friends' kids, at the Prinknash Abbey Bird and Deer Park.  It was really nice. 

There's something great about having kids who are old enough and responsible enough that I can just relax and hang out with my friends.

Today it was sunny so...

I put on my shades and sat in the back garden! It was lovely until I found myself fighting off all the wasp buzzing around trying to feed on me. Plus I got a really bad sunburn.   

Yesterday it was sunny so I mowed the lawn. 

Today if it stays sunny I'm hoping to go for a long walk. 

I'm sitting in the garden watching Josh run around!  Might go in to get the bubbles one last time.

I took my daughter to the park.  My kids gave the guinea pigs a bath in a plastic tub in our garden.

I had a very girlie day on my own--haven't had one of those in years!  I went into the city centre and bought hairclips, nail polish, eyeliner and lipstick and went into an adorable boutique and tried on dresses (I've a wedding coming up).

I think I need to have a day like yours soon Andee.  Haven't done it for a long time.

Today it was sunny so...I'm finally caught up on laundry.

Today was sunny so I got all depressed cause it'll probably be the last warm sunny day in months.

sigh.

Today it was sunny so I went to the Botanic Gardens in Glasgow and wandered around.  Surprisingly, many things were still in bloom!  Also, while I was perusing one of the glasshouses, I saw a carnivorous plant called a Pitcher Plant eat a bee.

I packed up my laptop and decided to work from home so i could take my doggy for a mid-day walky.

The weather here was just gorgeous today! 

We went on a walk in this little wood, not far from Ripon, including various Victorian-era folly ruins - amazing!

Wow... that looks beautiful. I miss walking in the woods. I should come up for a walk with you guys sometime! 

Yesterday (because today is definitely not sunny!) we washed our car for the first time in 1 1/2 years!  Man, it seriously needed it and we had fun spraying each other with the hose, too.

You should!  I'll let you know when Steve puts the photos up (from yesterday) - although there are a few new pics he took in our garden this weekend:





Woods near you:  Paddock Wood, and Hartburn Glebe.
