We’ve been lying low around the Guildford area and not doing as much socialising as we’d like, as I need to stay virus free, for some treatment I’ve been having. So all of our socialising has been outside, which has been perfect, as it’s been too hot to be inside! The summer has been absolutely fantastic, with temperatures between the high 20’s and mid 30’s for July and August, which isn’t typical at all. We spent July at my brothers, which has been nice and quiet. I’ve caught up with friends in the area over walks and outdoor lunches, which is always fun. We met Seb, Christien and Ally, to take on the “Green, Super Highway” walk, in Hampstead Norrey (the Oxford side of Reading). It’s an old disused railway that has been turned into a walkway. It runs through a small forest under a canopy of trees and is a great place for little Arlo to run about. Seb and Ally stopped off on their way, back up North, from the New Forest, so it broke the up the journey north and gave us the opportunity to spend a few hours together….we do miss them all when we’re away. Keith and Rachel had asked us to keep an eye on their place and look after Rhubarb for a couple of weeks, whilst they went off on vacation. It’s a beautiful home, but the highlight for us was looking after Rhubarb, an elderly Wheaton Terrier, with a lovely temperament and great fun to take out walking and chase around. I’ve finally finished my little project, which was setting up an online gallery, initially for some of my fathers artwork, which meant photographing and cataloging the artwork, before creating the site itself. It’s something I’ve not done before and although it was challenging, it was pretty enjoyable. The link’s below.
