A quiet afternoon in the sun. by happypat

A quiet afternoon in the sun.

A completely different afternoon than yesterday's mad dash round the roads in the car.

A lovely read in the garden with an hour inside the house watching tennis.

Three good things:

1. The truly amazing response to #thumbsupforcharlie appeal to fund my friends grandsons treatment in Germany. He needs Proton beam therapy urgently to treat his rare brain cancer.
Well in five days over £83,000 has been raised by so many generous people. To say it's been mind blowing to see the figure rise so quickly is an understatement. Every time you look it shot up & some large amounts being donated by many local firms so I'm sure they will reach their goal of £100,000 in four weeks.
Such a relief for the family that there is a ray of hope for little Charlie.
Thank you all for your interest.
2. Our house has thick walls, so cool inside!
3. Harry cooking tonight....BBQ!
A lovely peaceful place. Aren’t people wonderful? So glad that sweet boy will have a chance to get well.

Bep
That's fantastic news, Pat!

@gijsje Isn't it just Bep, still coming in too. Talked to my friend & £100,000 is only a rough estimate what they need just for treatment alone. Germany haven't had his medical notes yet so don't know his requirements properly so still every penny needed. All the local firms are contributing large amounts so that is so generous as well as the smaller amounts.

You have your feet up while reading and getting your Vitamin D - a healthy state! I hope that Charlie is accepted for treatment!

Lovely to be able to relax in the garden. We worked in our garden yesterday splitting logs for our fire. A good way to exercise and keep warm at the same time.

Good news about Charlie so glad he will be able to get the treatment he needs. Hope all goes well.

What a wonderful place to kick back and relax with a good book. Your capture is marvelous (like the little bit of knee and book peeking in!)
Such good news about the fund-raising.
