A lovely day

Ed and I have had such a lovely day. We drove over to Fi and Stu's, where four-year-old granddaughter was splashing about naked in their inflatable "swimming pool". She was having a wonderful time, and since the temperature today has been 30 degrees, it was probably the best place to be.

Fi wanted to take us into Bury St Edmunds, where a whole new shopping complex has been opened. Our granddaughter suggested a picnic in the Abbey gardens, which was a great idea.

Off we went, found a shady spot under a spreading chestnut tree (or something), strangely enough overlooking the children's play area. Granddaughter soon made lots of friends and had a whale of a time.

After lunch we ambled around the new shops. Fi bought a pair of shoes (with four inch stilettos) and I bought a bolero and a pair of shoes (without four inch stilettos).

Then it was a frappé in an air-conditioned café before driving home.

It's been a really great day.
