Life is good at the moment, the children are in the middle of their summer holidays and Si has just finished the first week of his two week annual leave. The weather has been perfect and we have been able to spend lots of quality time together.

I am a firm believer in family spending precious moments together and even my Megs (being a typical 13 year old) who would rather die than be seen out in public with her parents has admitted to enjoying of our outings.

We have also spent lots of time working in our garden and are really starting to see the results of the wonderful job my mom started while she was here. The roses are thriving and full of buds and nothing brings Si and I more pleasure at the moment then a day spent outside enjoying the sunshine and our lovely home.

England has really blessed us with a MAGNIFICENT Spring and Summer this year and whilst there has been rain (this is England after all lol) it has only served to keep the gorgeous country side green and provide a welcome relief from temps often reaching the mid to high 20's.
