The countryside is beautiful round here with plenty of photo opportunities to take advantage of. And yes the roast chicken was excellent. <br /><br />As I write the rain is pounding on the windows it has been a dreadful day, the rain just hasn't stopped - which makes me even happier that I spent all day Sunday in the garden - making hay whilst the sun shone so to speak.elaine https://www.blogger.com/profile/17075935631756457901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812046665751901579.post-73838945674506028132014-08-25T22:01:10.188+01:002014-08-25T22:01:10.188+01:00Thank you Paula.

My dear friend Ana and I try to go for long walks with our cameras as often as we can, but she is now a grandmother and has to look after her granddaughter three times a week. We use to walk for three hours now it's an hour and half. I too write, paint and love to grow things. I don't know about you, but I find there isn't enough hours in the day for me.

I would quite have liked a longer summer - maybe it will return hopefully. As a child I used to dread September coming - those three words back to school used to send shivers down my spine - I loved the freedom of the summer holidays, having adventures that only a child can have.
