The wonder of nature and the repetition of pattern . Factor 50 required today at the stables . YES . Wall to wall sunshine again. Poor Hubs is having an extremely wet and cool walking holiday in Italy , with too much rain and subsequent mud, it’s been a bit of a trial at times, made slightly worse by our evening video chats with me in my sunnies sitting outside . Such a shame , but he is getting very good coffee and has a great walking companion . ( give me the sunshine )!!
