Lunch in the Garden


What a fabulous day it has been here in Lincolnshire - clear blue skies and sunshine.  We had lunch on the terrace and it was nice to linger and just enjoy being outside.  We were entertained by the most incredible birdsong.  Our garden is surrounded by trees and hedges and we have so many song birds - blackbirds, thrushes, robins and ring-necked doves to name just a few.  It was truly enchanting.

After lunch it was time for Rick’s walk.  He decided to do his business under a hawthorn bush in full blossom.  By the time I had scrambled under the bush and retrieved his mess in the doggy bag we looked like we had both been to a wedding, we were covered in white petals. 

We are making the most of this sunshine, it’s not going to last.

  3. That photo looks like something you would find in a magazine touting the pleasures of eating outside in the summer. How nice!

  4. Very summery here, but we now have a week of 'light rain' coming. It was nice while it lasted.

  6. I didn't realise that Rick is a business dog. I guess he was completing a bone deal under the bush or maybe setting up a new kennel construction company. Are you his P.A.?

    1. He always wears his suit and tie when we go out.

  7. Nothing to beat eating outdoors - preferably in your own back garden!
