Catching up
What a wonderful summer it has been, after the wettest April, May and June on record. The Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations, London 2012 Olympic Games and now the awe-inspiring Paralympic Games! So proud of all those taking part. The Post Office are having a hard time keeping up with the stamps of GB medal winners and there is a rash of gold-painted letter boxes to celebrate their success.
On a personal note, Gavin's 65th birthday party in July was fabulous: good company, fine weather and yummy food. One of the talking points of the day was the dragonfly drying out on its nymph case. We've never had so many dragonflies emerging from our pond as this summer. Twelve that we know of. All Southern hawkers.
Going to see Jenn, and Mark, tomorrow. Will probably stay for five days at Mark's place. He's still living at The Barn, managing to juggle his finances so he can keep it on. Jenn still flits between there and staying with Rich. She's known him almost a year but I can't get used to her not being with Mark. She has not been able to find her own flat yet. Pictures of her latest hair colour below the cut. She rings the changes by attaching coloured extensions underneath.
Have a photo of the first dragonfly :)

And it's incredible that you get so many dragonflies there - here we see them once in a blue moon, but I never thought about where they must come from/that garden ponds were part of their lifecycle.
