Summery things

Goodness, what a lot of spammy comments are getting put on my old posts. Surely no one would ever fall for their ill-written suggestions that by clicking on a link, one would acquire untold wealth by illegal means that no one would ever find out about? Anyway, there's a certain satisfaction in zapping them. 

On Thursday, we went up to Son's house with Son-in-Law 1 and the Edinburgh Two. The cousins get on well together. Here they are in a crow's nest thing in a playpark.

And here are the boy cousins, leading the way up the hill beside Son's house. 

And here we are in a clearing in the wood. 

When we visited Melrose with the Edinburgh Two last week, the place we were for lunch offered Knickerbocker Glories, but everyone was too full after their first courses, so I promised to get the ingredients for them for the next time the children came to our house. When our own children were young, I hit on the excellent (in my modest opinion) idea for their parties of providing cheese and tomato pizzas and lots of toppings for the guests to construct their own pizzas, and also make-your-own Knickerbocker Glory kits. These were a) labour-saving and also b) very popular - if not c) very healthy. I did also supply salad and strawberries, but... you know. 

Anyway, we still had the glasses so I bought all the stuff and everyone had a happy time on Sunday making up their own KGs.  The photo below is perhaps not very suggestive of a wholesome meal but it was fun. Not to be repeated every week, though... . 

And ah... summer in the garden.
