Thoughts of a Soo

The patio has been there for some weeks now and has seen a hedgehog have a walk across it. Last night we ate barbecued food out there, lit a fire pit,  invited Jack to come over after mowing his lawn and have a whiskey and just before the evening ended we danced to The Gambler. I liked that Saturday night.

These 2 photos make me smile today. They follow a good week on a residential trip with the children during which I learned to bodyboard and made sure I did something each day that was at least a little bit scary. Today, like these creatures, I have been getting my hair back to normal and having a rest.
