Did I make the most of last week's glorious hot sunny days? You bet! It's the temperature I'd be happy with all year round...I even got some pictures taken for the first time (outside) in 6 weeks!!
Our first 'family' trip to Sissinghurst gardens was a success! Izzy rose to the occasion, there are lots of people and cars there but she did very well...then off went Patrick and Izzy round the large wooded estate and lakes so it was good and shady, while I took my camera into the beautiful gardens...everything's late here in the UK so this was the first rose of the year for me!
Izzy had a marvellous time going for a swim! By the time I met up with them she looked like a happy water rat!! It's great to be creating some happy memories for her and for us :)
