Bye bye summer

We went to the beach yesterday and we reckon it may have been our last visit this year... The place was more or less deserted. The children have gone back to school and the tourists have returned to their homes. There were only a bunch of old people scattered around and we were probably the youngest people there.

The bar will remain open until October, so we might go for a drink and give the swimming a miss. While we were sitting by the bar, Peter noticed some "ducks" coming out of the water. I didn't think they looked like ducks, so I went a bit closer to investigate. They were Canadian geese. We'll know summer is officially over when they fly away in their neat formation.

Summer took a while to get going this year, but it was a good one. Our potatoes didn't disappoint and the tomatoes were very tasty. We definitely deserved some decent weather and a few garden treats after the wettest spring in recent memory!
