I love the summer and the last few days have been fantastic. Things seem so much better in the sunshine. The weekend was spent in the garden watching the birds, butterflies, bees and other insects going about their business. On Saturday, Clare (my girlfriend) and I went for a picnic. We are quite lucky to have the countryside pretty much on our doorstep. We spent a sunny afternoon sitting in the shade of an old oak tree, drinking slightly warm gins and tonic and watching buzzards circle in a blue, cloudless sky. The picnic basket had sandwiches, dips and crisps and having eaten, we walked through a wooded area and enjoyed it's coolness. We arrived home early evening just in time for the Champions League Final and spent a warm evening watching the football. I don't think it gets better than that!
