Yes I know all the seasons have their plusses but for me summer wins every time. I can't get enough of warm days, light and sunshine, outdoor living and late night swims. Yesterday it was as though someone had flicked a switch and turned the summer off and the autumn on. It was not so much mists and mellow fruitfulness as b....y cold, windy and damp. We ate all our meals indoors and had to rediscover the salon and evening tele.
We were pleased when it was a bit brighter this morning and as the forecast was at least aminly dry we decided to test out our respective dodgy joints by doing a walk. Good decision, It didn't rain we spents a happy few hours on the hills and dales around Ginals (we are still finding new walks even now) and saw hardly another soul all day.

Trevor is as I write preparing to swim but at just below 20 degs I am pretty sure I've had my last dip of the year.
In previous years we have headed south to the mediterranean or to Spain at this time of year to grasp a couple of extra sandle and t shirt days but this year we have different plans. Next month we are heading NORTH twice! Firstly we are going for a couple of days in Paris and at the end of the month we have to go to England for my brother's wedding. It would be nice to think we have some more été indien days left to come here before then and now we have warmed the boots up we'll still be getting out and about.
