Son saves fortune shocker!!!

I rang to get Luna clipped and the lady was booked until November and cost £70. We bought clippers but she leapt around like a rat on a rope when O and I tried Today jake my 16 year old took charge and she was good as gold. Clippers £30, jake free hurrah.

US tennis

Little May is baffled by our late night on a 'school day'. She is trying to remain enthusiastic about Andy Murray but is fading and keeps giving me a look that says "Really, just one more game?" I keep telling her I'll be fine alone but she wearily protests we should watch together.

A night away...

Lucky enough to be at coast for the night as O has day off tomorrow to look after squiddles. So here alone with some cross stitch and this gorgeous sky. I have not used any effects it really was this colour.

Sunrise

Blooming cockerel was out the other morning and making a racket at 5 in the morning so I was chasing him around the garden and took this picture which made it worthwhile.

Luna loving the view

Having a great time and even the dog likes the views on our morning walk. Rain, rain stay away please!

Salcombe

Well this is the view from my bedroom window for next ten days or so (have to leave early for Tilly's a level results). We are so lucky to come here to a flat Os grandfather had and family still owns so we get 2 weeks gratis We always come for the town regatta and it is brilliant whatever the weather. Kate

Off on hols

On the way to our annual trip to Salcombe I am spending a couple of days in Weymouth. Weather gorgeous and enjoying olympic atmosphere. The boat Collective Spirit is made of donated wooden items and is BEAUTIFUL! So glad I saw it. Kate x
