My morning was taken up with a routine appointment followed by a brief visit to the supermarket to pick up the ingredients for evening dinner. The day was gloriously sunny so I spent my afternoon sitting in my garden reading with a break now and then to peg washing on the line and take it down when it had dried.

When the sun puts its hat on it would be rude not to take the opportunity to dine on the patio, our first opportunity together this year. I was able to dine out yesterday, but that was alone (Mr C was travelling). Although I wasn’t quite alone, as dusk fell a small bat joined me in the garden and at one point it was low to the ground near to the seat opposite where I was sitting on the patio.

Nature is wonderful
