So here we are in June, and although the sunshine is alternating with rain, it really is summery. It just doesn’t get all that cold even when the weather is mixed. I have been spending a lot of time at the Sports Centre swimming outdoors, and James came with me for a spa on Friday. Nature has exploded into life; every bush and tree is burgeoning with lush green foliage.
On Saturday morning I went to Susan T’s Coffee morning to raise funds for her Africa trip. I went along just to support her but ended up having some pleasant chats with lots of old acquaintances. I had a lovely chat with Susan’s niece Mollie, who was selling home made bracelets. We were swapping stories about embarrassing situations and I told her about holding on to what I thought was my Dad’s trouser leg when I was a small child, only to look across and see my Dad standing a short distance away. Mollie loved this story. I bought a bracelet for Heather with the slogan “bestie.”
Later Heather & Ewan came for dinner and I gave Heather her bracelet. I was gratified that she put it on straight away. Dinner was ok but somehow not as special as I had planned. My tapas starters were a bit ho hum. The main course and dessert turned out well though. We had a lovely evening chatting about all sorts.
On Sunday Davie and Chanel came over because Davie has been propagating some vegetables to grow in the garden; pumpkins, butternut squash and green beans. He worked away to plant them and tied them to stakes for them to grow up. Meanwhile Chanel and I relaxed in the hammock and the stripey swing seat and chatted. The cats enjoyed their visit and paid them lots of attention; Tom even came trotting out of the house like a little dog when Davie called him! Then we all had dinner before they set off back to Stirling.
