Well, despite the warm weekend, it is apparent that the summer is over. Even the the sun and blue sky had an autumnal feel. I looked at the garden and really couldn’t face tidying it as I knew it was unlikely we’d be heading out there together anytime soon.
It made me a bit nostalgic for the summer holidays, and I came across some photos taken from the balcony of a cottage in Nova Scotia where we sat out, drinking wine and eating BBQ food with our family.

Summer was whisky-fuelled with a week spent on mull and island-hopping to see some lovely wildlife as well as taking in oban and tobermory distilleries including a fabulous extended tasting
This was on a visit to lungar and staffa which housed over 4000 of these lovelies…
I’ve just got back from a week in Tenerife which was my last hurrah to summer and full of delicious traditional tapas, copious sangria and breathtaking scenery. The absolute standout for me was seeing beautiful, docile pilot whales and playful dolphins on a boat trip; we also saw turtles but they didn’t want to hang around to pose for photos!
I’ll go with this snap I took on the promenade at Roses, Catalonia on the first day of a wine tour where we visited Emporda and Rousillon wineries. It was the first of many Catalan flags seen that week, and wine flowed freely…good times!
We only got Digby (the chocolate one) in June and he wasn’t allowed on walks until almost August, so we spent a fun summer at home. But they’re so worth it!
We did have one pretty fantastic day, when we went to the Athletics championships and saw Usain Bolt’s final 100m:
