Summer Colours

Hot, again!  So much so this afternoon I felt sapped of energy so we rested in the house reading (myself), watching the football (Andy) and sleeping (Merlin).  I really can't believe this run of weather we are having, it feels as if we are living in the south of France!

This morning as a birthday present from Andy's Mum I treated myself to a massage.  It was with a lady I've been to before.  She runs her own business from home and has a little wooden building at the end of her garden from where she does her massages.  It was all rather lovely driving through the sunny South Downs to an idyllic village to be pampered.  Andy and Merlin came with me and had a walk around the village in the morning sunshine and reported there to be some very large, very splendid properties.  Merlin gave me a very excited welcome when he saw me returning towards them (perhaps he wondered where I had been!).  We returned to our more humble abode for lunch and relaxing - I could get used to this!
