Chas knows it’s summer when she stops putting a tree on the log burner at night. Apart from the occasional fire-free evening, “we” are still burning trees. Simon and I know Its summer when we enjoys our first al fresco pub lunch, which we did yesterday
It was a fine luncheon, unlike this morning’s breakfast. I have been invited to my local Health Centre for an “MOT/health Check for the over 50’s”. Well, it’s only 6 years overdue. It’s in two parts – giving a blood sample, and then a consultation 2 weeks later. I booked the blood sample for 0835 this morning, which was bad planning. I had to “starve” for 12 hours prior to the appointment, and Tuesday night is dog-walking-to-the-pub night. I managed 11 hours starvation – just 1 pint and maybe a few peanuts after the 8.35pm deadline last night. But I did have a very spartan breakfast
Technically we live in Oaktree House, but sadly the tree had to go.
We now have a thriving Oakstump at the front of the house.
