Summer at last?

It was a beautiful day today, not a cloud in the sky. It was David's first proper day in 6th year (he had his induction yesterday) and it was nice to have him back with me on my journey to work. I was out and about in the morning visiting primaries, so I was able to put the roof down on the car and enjoy the sunshine as I drove about, and we all went out to the playground at lunch time to dine al fresco. I have been following Ally and Cat's very amusing travel blog "Alcatrav"; after a few days in Dubai they have visited Bangkok and are now in Phuket. They are having a marvellous time. Before tea James (returned this afternoon from Spain) and I sat out in the garden and read our books, then later I planted some asparagus in the garden. I am not a confident gardener, and it is a long time since I dug a spade into the soil. I did my best to follow the instructions on the packet but I suspect that I didn't make a very good job of it especially since I forgot to use any compost. Later still we watched two episodes of Game of Thrones including the gruesome Episode 9 - the Red Wedding - which Chris had warned me about. I was suitably shocked and entertained. I wonder how long this lovely weather will last?
