Summer ...

Today has been the most glorious day; hot and windless. Wonderful retreat and returned to find four over excited beagles. The start of the walk was challenging, but then they settled down. Afterwards Gabriel and Jethro, who have already lost quite a bit of weight, decided swimming was far more appropriate than walking and both took themselves for a swim around the pool.
I love this time of year where the days suddenly get longer and the impossible variety of greens contrasts with the bright flowers.
