and the land lay still

The title is the book by James Robertson which I started reading today. It's one of my favourite things to do on a hot sunny day - sit in the shade of the horse chestnut tree with a book. In winter I always wonder why I didn't do this more..the same goes for walking barefoot on the grass or just generally enjoying being in the garden without actually gardening :-)

The lawn didn't get mown this weekend - it's in danger of turning brown; instead I let the daisies carry on growing.
