A Summer Day

Sunny days have been few and far between this year but today was one of them. I love sitting on the bench in the garden, reading my book, with a cup of tea - so peaceful and calming.

Lunch in the garden is another rare treat - tuna salad, fresh air and bird song - lovely.

At the same its annoying to see Christmas stuff edging its way into the shops already - I've spotted Christmas cards and party food this week. 

Autumn clothing is starting to appear as well - I bought myself a lovely, beige Pringle cashmere v neck when I was in York last week - and next month it will be the winter boot hunt - I'm visiting family in Edinburgh next month so will look around for them then.
