and the sun shone................!

We're in a heat wave, its just glorious! A beautiful misty start again today surrounding our valley with the promise of another sunny day ahead. I can't quite believe and neither can the guests.

I have a group of 8 men staying for B&B this weekend, well-behaved and middle-aged, they said? and they have been well-behaved, no problem, can come again. They all went clay-pidgeon shooting with our neighbours at the farm across the road and loved it, great fun, good tuition and all turned into competitive markmen!  They ate at our local pub, the Ilchester Arms at Symondsbury for a taste of the local atmosphere on the first night, its a nice walk especially with our starry unpoluted skies and the foods good and the beer local. Then an evening at The Stable bar in town for cider sampling and speciality pizzas and pies, all up for breakfast this morning!

Lucy and I swam in the sea yesterday, how bizarre.  A little chilly to get into the water, very cold but at Eype you have no option as it dips steeply and you are swimming in an instant, the best way really.  Loved it, and it's my first dip for 2 years, not been tempted before.
The beach was littered with people enjoying the late warmth, 1st October 2011, we'll remember this one.

Wedding day next Saturday, so hoping for a fine day but it can't last that long.........................can it? It has been lovely to have this time to get things ready, the ground is hard, the garden is still looking good and the flowers may last until next weekend.  Lucy and I busy ticking things off the list, fingers crossed. xx
