Sunday 22^nd July

Wow, summer has really arrived! We got up early and daughter and I went to Village Green Car Boot sale, looking for ‘dog’ things, so pleased when we found a ‘travel crate’ for £10. (I did think it might have been a very large bird cage, until RL pointed out they would have flown through the bars!!) Now we are searching for ‘stair gates’ and possibly a large ‘play pen!! Obviously baby equipment but ideal for puppy!

I drove to the tennis club and played over an hour of tennis, thoroughly enjoyed myself  and even had times I forgot I  was ‘ill’. Now that really is brilliant! 

Whizzed home for a spot of lunch, and then spent the afternoon on the beach (with sun hat and umbrella!). Enjoyed my second swim in the sea, (and yes the water is still cold!)

Joined later by hubby who had spent the day cleaning out the utility room and cutting the grass- felt a bit bad, but think he also spent a bit of time watching the golf and the Grand Prix, so don’t feel that bad!!!

A combined effort with supper preparation that included from the garden, broad beans, mange touts, courgettes and carrots!
