The high temperatures remained for the bank holiday weekend, but some low clouds were obscuring most of the sunshine on the mountains. Given the conditions, we decided to make the most of the luxury of The Cottage and enjoyed a very leisurely day mostly spent in the sunshine of the garden, eating pancakes, drinking coffee, reading and generally having a chilled time. We did do a little exercise, by taking a picnic up to the top of our local peak for our style 'Sunday Lunch'.
It was just the right level of energy expenditure and a slow pace allowed us to notice the little things, like new fir cones on the larch trees.
And the colour in the hedgerows...
And of course the latest headline acts in The Cottage garden! I don't even know where these came from?! Mom? Did you sneak these in?...
We did venture out to catch up with a few friends, but otherwise let the holiday crowds enjoy the cliffs and mountains and kept ourselves to ourselves in the quiet confines of The Cottage grounds. We were well stocked with fine foods and wine and the time flew by sorting expedition gear and planning for the next trips...
