It has been a couple of lovely summer days: bright warm sun and a welcoming cool breeze. What could be better? Not much but as always real life has an awful way of putting a damper on things. Last year it was covid this year the cost of living. The results are much the same – staying close to home.

So I enjoyed myself in the local botanical gardens and then sitting on my favourite seat in the garden. There are far worse ways to spend the long summer day.
