What a scorcher!

For what has been forecast as a short 7 – 10 day period summer sun visited the UK last week, building up to the weekend when we had temperatures of 25 – 27 degrees C. So a busy Saturday included the usual pile of ironing, the weekly ASDA shop, mowing the back lawn (thanks Mark for that), having new tyres fitted to the front of Sue’s car, a pub lunch at the Blue Jay with Sue’s Uncle Alan & Aunty Barbara followed by relaxing in the garden with drinks wrapped up with a visit from Angie and John who were up from Colchester visiting Mum & Dad.

Sunday starts with yet more ironing (ended with loads still left to do) and Andy asking if he could have mates round for the Monaco F1 and a BBQ. So that’s what we did. A day spent socialising, me cooking the meat while Sue did the jacket spuds and salad. At day’s end everyone agreed they had had a good time and most evidenced the time they had spent in the sun with some sunburn despite all efforts with the sun screen from factors 20 – 50.
