Sunshine and flowers

So while most of the UK ended up wasting their afternoons watching the "football" - if you could call it that, with the team loosing hilariously without not seeming any bit interested in being there, I was sat [okki I'll admit I was listening to it on BBC Five Live] outside catching the rays under the apple tree crocheting the back of my cushion cover - that's until I worked out I was doing it wrong and pulled it all out [productive - not!].

But the rents have a bit of a thing for gardening and with the sun shining the colours seem their most gorgeous. With this hopefully being my last summer [for now at least] in the UK I thought i'd try and capture most of the things that make the English summer, English. Or at least just what I get up to in this part of the little bit of England I dwell in. 
Even with clouds the temperature stayed around 30 degrees C all day.
But ... roll on American Summer, and soccer. They might have gone out at the same time as us, but at least the team went out respectfully [*end of football rant*].

  1. Love the flowers, can't beat a sunny day tbh. I was also outside rather than watching the match, I was reading My Cousin Rachel, my Oxfam purchase of yesterday - you've probably read it tbh.
