Summer is here!

Flowers, a gift from a child at school
OK the weather may not be very summery but officially my own summer started today.

No more school for me until September 3rd!
visit my other blog here
Yippee!

although for some....life is just one long holiday!


Last weekend with the promise of good weather, Hubby and I decided we needed to tackle the much neglected garden.


We neglected it in the run up and the aftermath of building the extension and Nature has invaded.


Hubby started by cutting the grass in the orchard.
I managed to get some order into the small veggie patch.



and do some weeding.



I picked up an old work in progress later on Sunday evening

I am going to take it on holiday with me next week and hope to make some progress with it!

Last day of term and it was cakes and drinks at school after a tearful leavers service at church.
I am taking my mum to the RHS show at Tatton tomorrow and Hubby and I go to North Wales for 6 days from Saturday. I am not sure if I will be able to update my blog while away so it might be quiet around here for a while.

Enjoy the promised Sunshine everyone!

  3. Gardens do carry on, don't they? And so do the weeds. You have good plans for your time off. I have been off from the university since the middle of May and will return to work Aug. 27. No grand adventures this summer. Should have vacationed in Whales some similar spot. Next year. Be sure to take lots of pictures for us.

  8. Happy Holiday Break,
    I hope you stay well throughout and enjoy some good summer. We tried to start early but got nowhere fast. What do you do with your cats when you go away? I'd love there to be a cat sitting at home agency that didn't cost the earth. The sun must be here soon
    cheers Gillian

  16. The picture of your cat sure made me laugh. Looks like you are so busy - summers are like that. We are definitely having a summer here in Utah. Lots of sun and a few rain drops last weekend but I bet I could count the drops with my fingers.
