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 try this if you're trying to lose weight as it's more addictive than anything I can remember.

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.

    • No there wasn't.  Read up before making Ill informed statements. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-state_solution Here's a start
    • The Toronto is boring amused me.  I was thinking of Philadelphia but when I reconsidered, Toronto seemed the obvious place.  But my research came to your conclusion that it is in deed dull. I've been to Vancouver twice but found that surprisingly sterile too.  I'll raise your Sydney with my San Fran and Wellington, both bay cities like Vancouver but I found far more cultural.  Although that is obvious with San Fran. I've probably got myself banned from the US with this thread and my views on Trump posted elsewhere. In your suggested tour what about the towns and cities where the National Guard has been called.  That would be fun. Kansas is apparently a great place but will be frighteningly hot I expect
    • Fifa are discussing expanding it to 64 teams for the 2030 tournament South America, which would mean 128 games. That's mad. They're aren't enough hours in the day to watch that much football and I'd have to move house to find a place with enough space for my 'Super Sun World Cup Wall Chart'. There are games in Mexico and Canada in 2026, so that's an option. Mexico will be unbearably hot, Toronto will be unbearably dull - Leonard Cohen once described it as 'New York run by the Swiss' and he was spot on  -  so I'd say Vancouver. Possibly the most beautiful setting for a city outside Sydney and a great food scene. Nick over the border and there are matches in Seattle as well. The Amtrak train down from Seattle to San Francisco, another WC venue, through Oregon is staggering - and they have an observation car with a bar! Portland and Eugene are worth a couple of nights as well. That part of northern California and the Pacific Northwest is the most un-Trumpy part of the US, so I wouldn't worry too much and Vancouver is surprisingly interesting, for Canada at least. You've actually made me think about making the trip again.
