Not raining .....
18th
June 2016 (Saturday)
...09.00 Our Weather is incredible
.... when I first went outside this morning (06.45), the sky was blue with a
touch of grey in the
northwest; two
hours later it, the sky, was grey with a touch of blue in the Southeast corner! However I don’t think rain is
forecast; in fact I think the sun has to
break through by midday.

I’ve
been out on the bike... the usual journey, along for a paper, and back home via
the Estate; it was chillier on the hands than I thought it
would be, but enjoyable after a couple of not very active days, as far as
exercising goes. I’ll bike along to
the Coffee Morning, and do an extended circuit on the way home.
after
he went out to “Alice’s Seat” but he never turned up. I had a ‘lite bite’ lunch, before biking
up to Balcarres Estate; by this time the
sun had broken through .... ‘summertime’
at last!

Balcarres
is looking lovely ... actually, the whole of the countryside is looking fresh,
and green, ...... my favourite time of year; though I also like to see the trees in their
autumn ‘finery’. I had a quiet potter
around then went home by the same route, covering a total distance of 13.02
kilometres (8.08 miles). I also did
over 6 kilometres in the morning, so I have made up for the past couple of
‘lazy’ days. When I got back to Ivy I
found two raffle prizes lying on my summer seat in the front garden! One of them is Jimmy's.
23.45 I’m just back from spending a brilliant,
and entertaining, evening along at
Edith and John’s, ‘M’s sister and her
husband, in Cellardyke. All ‘M’s
sister are excellent cooks, and the food was out of this world; I won’t need to eat for a week! It was great listening to the girls, and John,
reminiscing about Cellardyke in their younger
days. Alan and I were ‘lost’ at times
with the ‘Dyker Speak’, but found it really interesting.
