Summer Arrived eventually - for a day or two

Summer finally came well at least from Saturday afternoon onwards, and it was so nice on Saturday to meet a fellow blogger Lizzie from her lovely blog The Washerwoman at the Rag Fair in Honiton, where I found some pretty french fabrics. 

On our way home we stopped  at a  lovely village called Broadhembury so it was definitely time to get my camera out and take a few photos of the lovely cottages,



hope the owners don't mind!

in the evening we went on one of our favourite walks along the canal.



Sunday was beautiful, - don't we talk about the weather a lot in this lovely country of ours! maybe it is because I think we are all secret sun lovers, but how mad is that when we live in England, where the weather is so unpredictable! we had visitors for tea and it was lovely just sitting in the garden!  I would also like to show you a small piece of our garden that I really love, it has a glass roof so the sun can shine through!



 The heart was a very new acquisition that I bought on Monday when we visited Sherborne (sorry forgot to take photos!)
Sun going down on Sunday Evening
Today has seen me picking fruit and sorting out the vegetables, we have just dug up our first potatoes they are really scrumptious.  Well think that is all for now see you all soon, have a great week - mine hasn't started too bad as I have just won the give-away from Elaine from Ted & Bunny blog.

    It all looks so idyllic, doesn't it? Who would have thought that only days before it was drizzle all the way!!

    But I think the unpredictability is what makes me LOVE the sunny days we have all the more.

    A lovely round-up of what you've been up to. We talk about the weather so much because, unlike some other countries, it's so varied! I did a post about our local music festival recently and ended up mostly writing about the weather!
    Our potatoes are ready in the garden now too so I'm looking forward to eating them.

    Hi Jill,
    Thanks very much for your kind comment about the mag article. It feels a bit surreal! I think the museum you asked me about is Beamish in County Durham. Well worth a visit.
