It's been unusually hot for September and I can't do energetic things in the heat, so there's been a bit of sitting in the garden, which still has a reasonable amount of colour.
And today was Daughter 1's birthday, so we went up to Swanston and had lunch with her and her family.
I really must do more next week but apart from the heat, I'm still suffering from post-Daughter-2's- departure blues. However, inactivity is not cheering. It's even been too hot to do much hand quilting - sitting with a quilt draped over one is not a cooling pastime. Still, this will not do. Stiffen the sinews, grit the teeth, get a grip.
Your fuchsias are beautiful! Do they attract hummingbirds? What wonderful views around the castle! Happy Birthday to Daughter #1!
ReplyDeleteNo hummingbirds in the UK, alas!
DeleteThat's a pleasant garden to sit in. Happy birthday to daughter #1.
ReplyDeletequilting is not a summer activity! hand quilting is for winter, summer is for patting fabric and maybe quietly planning new quilts with colour pencils :)
ReplyDeleteOh, you pat fabric too?!
DeleteLove you! Miss you! xxx
