A pretty perfect day

I can honestly say that today has been the first day in a very long time that I have truly happy and content. It started by getting more done on the Clapotis and the kids playing very nicely together. Then the boys spent the morning cleaning the cars. Doug being the perfectionist that he is has done a valet-level clean inside and out...

So why was it perfect today? Major plus is the early summer weather we're having. The car said it was 26 degrees today, weatherman 24. It was a tad humid today which wasn't that nice and made me wish we were as close to the Meditterean as my parents are (can you believe they've been there almost five weeks and not been for a swim in the sea yet despite it being in the 30s!!!). But, alas, we are blessed with a truly wonderful garden. In the afternoon this is what happened.

Me, on the shady side of the garden...
and the boys planting potatoes on the other side...
The only thing missing was a glass of Pimms!!! Such a shame it is ending with Finham sewers stinking out the whole of Baginton - it is truly disgusting.
