My view

I might not have a view of mountains or the sea but with this bright light in my eyes I can hardly see anyway. We put the bunting out for our party on Saturday and I think it may have become a feature of the garden until the rains come again.

A most excellent start to the school hols. House filled with friends, kids all happy and me on pottering and catering duties. The most notable of the former being my first outing with a power tool to attack our mark of suburbia - the privet hedge. Hacking away at it was so satisfying I might consider giving it a reprieve in my front garden planning.

But for now I am off to recline in the garden with a book and enjoy the evening sun.
