Hello again, dear friends. We are so fortunate, are we not, to enjoy a late summer Bank Holiday and, more importantly, one that has been full of glorious sunshine. Add to this the joy of my male guardian not being at his professional toil for the day; why, I do believe, the planets have aligned! What a day it has been; from rising when one wakes, to pottering in the estate gardens, picking our plums for jam and generally doing as one pleases, without an eye to the clock. Sheer bliss. In between the pottering has been a lunch al fresco and many a pot of fine English tea to sustain us. My lady guardian has taken time, inbetween, to add the odd row or two to a knitted garment, whilst my male guardian has perused the periodicals. 'Tis a peaceful scene; thankfully, my male guardian is not a gentleman who feels the need to quote from the articles within the periodicals and can be guaranteed to enjoy them calmly whilst enjoying the sanctuary garden.
A small batch of plum jam has been added to the bounty that is being stored within the larder; a deep jewelled colour to delight the eye and titilate the senses. At the end of the day, we will retire to the cool of our little home, protected from the heat with half drawn drapes and blinds, so refreshing after a day spent on the estate. A restful evening will be had for a busy schedule is planned for the morrow.
We do so hope that you too have enjoyed this splendid August Bank Holiday.
