Soup, yes, definitely, root veg, also baked potatoes and closing the curtains earlier - when we 'draw' the curtains, is that open or closed?



laundered and put away all thin clothes, sandals etc, so summer is definitely over, all children back to school, or will be by next week, and the swallows have abandoned us for Africa.

Omg I just bought the ingredients for Soup lol

I'm sitting in my kitchen wearing a fleece, hugging a cup of tea, eating speculoos crunchy spread* off a spoon waiting for the downpour to stop. In early September.

Don't write summer off just yet.


Back in Sept 2008 I won a Raffle in The Clock House.


First prize was a rowing boat for 6 - 8 at Richmond.


We went out on the 20th Sept. It was a scorcher in the mid 70's

Sunshine all day.


Stopped off at the White Swan Pub in Twickenham on the way out and the way back

keeping the tide with us.

I am loving this summer. I'd hardly even noticed that it's getting dark early.


Signs it's changing - the leaves falling as I was waiting on LL the other day - took me by surprise - hot water bottle last night, bought chicken soup today and no one wanted salad with their dinner this evening.


It was very hot today (well, my office is very sunny) and then torrential rain. I love it :-)


I don't like autumn when we're not had a nice summer....it feels wrong. Not this year though.

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️
    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
