Easter Sunday BBQ

I know Easter is very late this year, but how strange, if nice, to have a BBQ in the evening and not need to be wearing thermals. We have originally planned to have it the day before, but the Met Office has issued a Weather Alert for extreme heavy rain, so we decided to postpone - there was rain, but not much.

Last night, however, was dry and sunny and warm, so we broke out the disposable BBQ and some kebabs and we were away. Add a couple of chilled beers and heaven was not far away.

Perfect.

One of our neighbours poked his head over the fence to see what was going on, very cute but I missed the photo, just a head and his front paws (didn't I mention he is a cat?).

The view from a moving train

There is something slightly odd going on with our weather at the moment. It is still only April, but the weather is amazing and set to continue over the Easter holidays, which is also amazing as it is rarely nice over Bank Holidays.

This picture looks a little hazy, but that is due to it being taken from a moving train with far from clean windows. What it is actually showing is that really sift light you tend to get early in the morning of a very hot day. We will see.

On a personal note, I just want to get through the day as quickly as possible so that I can enjoy the long weekend. So here's to a busy, and therefore, short day.

Is it just me that can see the bunny?

I was at a local garden centre today and seemed to be aware of something that no one else was, a very tall golden rabbit was sitting next to the Rosemary. Was it my I
imagination? Well I was the only one taking any notice if it.

Is this our summer?

Walking to the station after visiting a friend I was thinking what a wonderful evening it was. Then I wondered, is this going to be another year where we have an amazing April only to find that there is no real summer to follow. Or, is this the start of a really splendid summer, a hint of things to come.

I for one hope it is the latter. We had a tough winter, so here's hoping for a great summer to compensate.

There are worse places to work.

 

There are times when you need to stop and look around you. It is amazing what you then see right in front of you, something that you often just accept. Take the time, have a look, this is what I saw a couple of days ago. How could I not have noticed before just how stunning the view is on my way to work. The Tower of London is not small, and yet I really had not taken in the fact that it is there. 

Note to self, take the time to look around and see what is straight in front of you. 

And Now, The End is Near.

So after a couple wonderful days of pampering and de-stressing, I am at the final night of my time away. It has been, as predicted, bliss for me and I would recommend it to anyone.

Why is it though that there is always at least one person who is fortunate enough to be able to treat themselves to a visit such as this, but who does not seem to be happy unless there is something that they can complain about, at the top of their voice. Do they not realise that there are any number of people who would live to be able to sample this. People!

But forget them, this was bliss!
