Last of the Summer Wine...

Well, here we are at August Bank Holiday Monday and the official last day of summer here in the UK and the weather has put in a simply splendid show of sunshine to remind us all that summer was actually pretty good over here this year. 

It's 26C, and whilst I submitted myself to a rather unruly burst of spring-cleaning this morning, I followed this with a couple of hours of luxurious reading under the trees out the front...and we are bbq-ing in earnest tonight to give this English summer of 2009 a proper and fitting 'cheerio'.

So it's a toast to farewell Summer...goodbye to tomatoes and blackberries and rosily,sun-kissed cheeks and noses...and to welcome the brilliantly-hued and softly sunshine-y days of Autumn...
