Firstly a big thank you to my blogfriends for your birthday wishes and posts. It was really kind of you and very much appreciated.

I had a great birthday - the weather stayed fine, which meant I got to sit in the garden in my arbour almost all day.....:zz: I had a beautiful set of books from Mr Penry which should keep me reading from now until January...and the family were able to visit and we could enjoy a birthday meal (not to mention some wine :yes:) together.

There's definitely something to be said for summer days, but only when you're not stuck indoors doing a job you hate! The first sign of summer we all need a little time in our spiritual garden to sit, smell the lavender and roses, and dream...how do you like to spend summer days?
