Bank Holiday sunshine round our way is a rare and wondrous thing. Especially when it happens to fall on the same bank holiday as our village carnival is always planned for. This has been the way of the world ever since we moved to our little house. Not that we have any great desire to attend the carnival you understand. Living in the same place as G's school means there are far too many opportunities as it is for bumping into children from school which while never unpleasant can sometimes take the bloom off the day both for him and the kids as "special" behaviour sometimes has to be observed. There is normally always one Mum who seems to think that because he is a teacher it is fine to use him as an unpaid baby sitter for the day which to be frank isn't much fun for me! So we were at home all weekend.
G pottered about the garden tending to his plants, listening to sport on the radio, bringing me drinks as I languished on a blanket. I did have to tell not to get the strimmer to the patio though. We have chives poking out through the pave stones and along the edges which although prettyish are rather stinky and beginning to look rather raggedy.
But they are an utter bee haven! And knowing as we all do that bees aren't as plentiful as they once were G and I do do everything we can to keep them coming back to our garden. Especially as they are so necessary for tomato flower pollination!
This was my view for most of the day though. Lazing on my back with a book and iced drink to hand. Shifting only occasionally to pick up my camera, issue a command or to roll over and toast my back instead of my front.
I so hope we are lucky enough to have more weekends like this through out the Summer. A week would be ideal so that I can feel as though I've had a proper Summer holiday this year!
