I've been reading online that the temps are finally getting warm enough to enjoy life outdoors;  what are you folks doing for fun in the UK?

Here in Good Ol' Santa Cruz I'm going to a local restaurant with an outside deck, having lunch with a Citron Lemonade (Whew! Lights out for me!) and watching the boats, seals and beachwalkers go by.

Hope you're all having a wonderful time.

26C here yesterday and 28 forecast for today (82F). Glorious blue skies!

Visitors for the weekend and so spent yesterday visitng a NT property (450 year old manor house with 900 year old buildings with wonderful series of walled gardens with magnificent wisteria and large bluebell woods).

Today will read the Sunday Times in the garden; that now comes with so many supplements it can be shared among the four of us and keep us all reading for the morning! Then walk into the beautiful West Berkshire countryside; literally 3 minutes from our house.

When we get the weather, the British countryside is exquisite!

How is your weather?  Are you yourself connected to the UK in some way?

Wow, that sounds like a lot of fun.  I love the English gardens.

Here in Santa Cruz, CA, the weather is usually pretty nice.  The city is located on the south-facing curve of Monterey Bay, so it stays pretty nice even when Monterey is fogged in.

I'm not affiliated with the UK in any way except by having had the opportunity to visit for 3 weeks i*****  I loved it, but there just wasn't enough time to see everything I wanted to see.

I enjoy learning about other cultures, and ours are just different enough to be interesting!  Especially the language differences! 

Hope you don't mind my dropping by.

Have a great summer.  Oh, by the way, thanks for converting the Centigrade to Farenheit;  I hate having to do the math for conversion!

I've just spent the most glorious day at a cricket tournament for one of the twins. DH, the twins and my daughter sat in the dappled shade which surrounded the cricket field, along with an obscene amount of picnic food, and all the other parents, with whom I get on fabulously. It was held in a quaint Northants old sandstone village, with the church overlooking us with the bells ringing for most of the afternoon,and plenty of good natured gossip and scandal. It was nigh on perfect, and all the bin lids had a whale of a time.

Spent the last two days at Legoland.  Alex is fantastically happy, I've lived on protein bars and water the whole time!  If I eat out it does make me vomit.  I've no idea why yet, unless it's the herbs and spices that I'm not used to.  What a glorious weekend!!!
