Summer's Day

The temperature outside is 23◦C - thats 74F! There is hardly any wind and I have given up with the birds and the bees and will now go with the view from my kitchen! Tonight we have Fireworks for Guy Fawkes so will attempt a photo for the first time!

My mother's journal is progressing slowly with me as I've little time. She is still wandering around Nottingham enjoying a Tram ride to Mapperly and talking about London fashions being so much more smart that Nottingham.
