Hello, sorry (AGAIN) for the big pause. Thanks to Shun in Japan, I have a lovely new camera (lucky lucky me) so I can show you some more of my summery life (lucky lucky you!). Since the middle of June the weather has been good (bansai!) which is very exciting for British people because we usually expect summer weather to be quite bad. At the end of June it was my sister's birthday. There were two parts to it:
a) we all went to her local park for a picnic :)
b) we all went back to her house to watch England lose to Germany in the World Cup :(
So it was a happy balance of emotion.
Yesterday (Friday) the temperature went above 30 degrees! Lots of people said, "Oh it's too hot" but I don't think it was. It was a perfect summer day and when I finished work at the shop, I went home and had lunch in my garden. It was really bright!
My family celebrated 4th July last weekend. Not because it was American Independence Day but because it was Auntie Penny and Uncle Bob's 40th wedding anniversary. Congratulations them! The weather was great and we sat in their garden drinking Pimms and lemonade and eating salmon and cake (not together) :)
This is Mum and Dad's garden. It always looks beautiful in the summer - full of green leaves and flowers. But at the moment, the grass is really dry (no rain for days!):
