Taking advantage of (some) better weather…

We’ve had a few recent outings in the sunny weather – best make the most of it, this may be the only summer we have.  There have been rainy outings too (and a sunny-ish one today with a dead camera), but here are the selected highlights:

Making use of our National Trust membership with a visit to a local stately home.  It was too nice to go inside, so we just admired the architecture…

…and wandered through the gardens…

…taking photos of the pretty flowers…

The following weekend we went for a dinner-picnic…

…flew the kite…

(that’s Mr BH, by the way, not me)

…and enjoyed the late-evening sun…

With a sudden burst of energy, the same weekend we walked a 10-mile circular route, through pretty villages…

…across a stream…

…over a field…

…through some woods…

…across a meadow…

…along another stream…

…under some tall trees…

…and past a variety of pretty flowers…

There has also been quite a bit of knitting going on, as well as some caking, and all the usual day-to-day working and house-work and the tedious business of trying to sell one’s flat.  Anyone want one?
