Not long ago, Jude took us on a delightful tour of her new garden. It set me thinking, and these are some of the results.
Whenever I possibly can, I’m out in the garden for breakfast. Keeping a watchful eye and enjoying the serenity. I thought you might like to share it.
Jude, does this say Essence of Summer to you?
What do you think? Jude is asking for The Essence of Summer this month. Wonderful what you can do with a sunny hour or two, isn’t it?
Spot the intruder! This was going to be all about the Iris, but I was very taken with the Cersiums and I’m afraid they just sneaked in. Jude is busy in her new garden but she’ll make time to say hello.
Have a great weekend, and don’t forget Cate. Another, very busy lady. This is my 200th Six Word Saturday! Maybe I should quit while I’m ahead.
Tavira council organises Verão em Tavira, a running programme of free outdoor events in the evenings over the Summer months. Just as the day starts to cool a little, the whole world takes to the streets. Click on the gallery above for a closer look.
And when your holiday is enlivened by the presence of another blogger- well, more of that to follow, but here’s my favourite photo of Cathy.
We went birdwatching on the Ria Formosa boat tour
Appropriate really for someone who calls herself Catbird. She was great company. She flies back to the States on 25th July so I hope she’s enjoying every last moment of Portugal. Wish I was still there.
Thanks Cate, at Show My Face, for being my kind hostess again on Six word Saturday this week. I’ll be round later to see what you’ve all been up to while I was away. Wonder what next week will bring?
From here
Hartlepool, viewed from Christ Church tower, on a sunny day!
Tavira, in the Eastern Algarve- not quite so sunny!
In fact, a little moody.
But with a strong promise of blue.
As you can see from the centre photos, the weather was quite temperamental when we were last in the Algarve. I suspect that will not be the case this trip, as it’s in the 30’s currently. Oddly enough the Summer has arrived in the UK too (yes, even the north east!) so I won’t have to feel guilty about leaving my English friends shivering. It’s a win! win! situation.
So looking forward to dabbling my toes, and sharing special birthday celebrations with my husband. (his- I’m just a youngster- secret smile ) I also have a treat in store. For a couple of days I’m playing hostess to Cathy or Catbird as some of you will know her. Having left Oman she is now romping her way around Spain, and then Portugal, before returning home to the States. Her exhausting itinerary is here, but won’t it be fun?
Enjoy Six word Saturday, as well as the weather, while I’m gone. Many thanks to Cate at Show My Face. Back soon!
