Thanks for posting photo and so sorry to hear you have been down with S.A.D. It’s good to hear you’re back to your cheery self now that the sun is out. I hope the weather stays like this 🙂

It wasn’t as bad as I made out but the dull, rainy weather was starting to get to me. Now we can really enjoy summer!



June broke a record for the amount of rainfall. July has been nothing but sunshine which has been great for the Calgary Stampede’s 100th Anniversary.

It is amazing how the sun usually shines on the Calgary Stampede! I wish all the good folks in Calgary a wonderful time celebrating the 100th anniversary.



The ‘photos on ‘See my travels’ are amazing – even looking at some sunshine was a treat. It’s rained and rained for weeks and weeks in the UK.
Going to read the interview now.

I guess the weather has not been good anywhere, either too cold and rainy or too hot causing fires! Here’s hoping for good weather for the summer Olympics.



I’m full of energy again too. Yippee!

It doesn’t take us long on the west coast to get our energy back and forget about all those rainy days!



Sun and chocolate–unbeatable combination! My spirits go up with both!

Thanks Sandra. It is a fabulous combination!



You usually have great weather there and a lot more sun than in the UK. But I think the weather has gone mad all over the world.

That is a great way of putting it Niamh. The weather has gone mad all over the world!



We have descended into the depths of our southern winter down under and I’ve seen some of the coldest weather in my nearly 20 years in Adelaide. I have been wearing two layers of clothing, which is unprecedented.
Despite this, the Australian winters, for me, are a great time for warm log fires – particularly outdoors ones, where I go wild with my outdoor culinary exploits. And of course, I can partake in many a red wine which is always a good fringe benefit.
I too enjoyed your wonderful interview Darlene. It’s wonderful to see your Amanda In… series growing. My daughter is going to love them whenshe old enough.

Thanks for commenting Dean. Your outdoor fires and cooking sound great fun. Look forward to your next publication! Much love to the family

Thanks Laura. It doesn’t take much to make me happy, a little sun, a little chocolate, a good book, a warm hug…….
