Too Early
May 7, 2009
I declared it Summer at the weekend. I bought new linen crops and flip flops and indulged myself in the first pedicure of the season, complete with brightly coloured nail varnish.
We bought and planted out the summer bedding plants and the broad beans and tomatoes are now out in the big pots too.
We purchased a new BBQ and christened it not once but twice. We uncorked the first bottle of rose wine of the year and ate dinner outside.
Then this week it has clouded over and the wind has blown in and I am sure I felt a smattering of rain on my stoically still bared arms this morning. Of course it could just have been the dew bouncing of my goose bumps!
What I am trying to say folks is this. Sorry, Summer's belated arrival is my fault for jumping the gun!
What I wasn't early on, in fact rather late was changing to my May banner. But it is there now!

hurrah for summer! and pretty polish.
oh that is the funniest photo. Gareth is a hoot.
Sorry about the cool down. It’ll pick up again. I’m sure of it.
God Rose really is the wine of summer isn’t it?
We were the same way. A few days of warm sunshine and we were ready. And then a week of cold rain followed.
I’m blaming it on your toenails – pretty though they are.
C’mon sun.
Love the new banner – I’m hoping for sun this weekend. Long walks and a BBQ planned – hmmm.
Every sunny day has to be taken advantage of, thank goodness they were over the weekend and you could really enjoy them…. Get stuck in there G !!!
