Last Sunday we had sun. You know, that big orb of white/yellow that sits in the sky and makes everything warm and bright. I took this photo late in the afternoon and it was the last of the brightness before it set behind the trees.
We had decided to have a BBQ in the garden, the first this year. The whole weekend was nice and Graham managed to cut the grass and fix the rest of the patio furniture together. So Sunday we were free to enjoy the garden. I was lovely and warm up until late afternoon. And by the time we got the BBQ going it had cooled down considerably. It was still nice to sit outside though, and the BBQ was nice.
We are thinking now of getting a new BBQ though as ours has become a little old and rusty. I’ve bought some paint for the shed (Mulberry colour) and we will get around to painting the fences. I want some kind of pot holder for my plant pots. I wish Graham was a bit more ‘handy’ as we seem to have a lot of wood going spare. I’m pretty sure I could have put something together once upon a time, but I am physically not able any more….maybe I could get a collaboration going with Graham, but he really doesn’t like being told what to do.
We also have to dig up our old swing set and get rid of the slide. The kids are too old for them now. Although the Little Man wants us to keep the trampoline, last year all they did was sit on it with their tablets! I might see about buying a tent cover for it.
I am determined that this year our garden will look better. My trees are growing well, I will have to take photos but I can’t actually get into the garden myself without help (or my wheelchair which resides in the boot of the car and means I am confined to the house.)
The sun is shining again this Sunday, but we’ve been promised rain later, so no BBQ….and it’s so cold! what a difference a week makes.
It sounds like a lovely Sunday. The sun really does put everyone in a good mood.
Good luck with the work on the garden. x

That’s so true! The last two Sundays have been so different compared to each other.
We got the conservatory cleared and tidied today and have promised ourselves that we should tackle the back garden next. Unfortunately we don’t have someone with muscles that we can rely on so we will have to do what we can ourselves.
We are hoping for BBQ weather too. The banks holiday weather looks rubbish so it seems like it will be another oven jerk chicken for us tomorrow.
Hope you enjoy the week ahead.
Glad you got to enjoy your garden and barbeque. We just got a new one – our first gas one – so I am looking forward to eating outside a lot this year! #MMBC
Glad you had a nice time outside even if it did cool down. Wishing you many sunny days ahead. #MMBC
That sounds like a lovely weekend outside.. it hasn’t been warm enough here yet for us to BBQ and actually eat outside. We make do with BBQing and then bringing the food inside.
It is a lovely place to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine X #mmbc

The weather has been awful lately, but glad you at least got out for a barbecue. I really hope the weather improves soon!
Gardens do seem to need constant work! I hope you get everything done that you would like doing this year.

I’m enjoying the rain at the moment and so are my plants, which I thought were dead! The grass needs cutting again though. I will be happy to have a nice relaxing garden, but we have a long way to go yet.
Oooo we haven’t got a BBQ and I really want to get one at some point, it sounds bliss even if a little cold. Loving the sunny snapshot too! Thanks so much for sharing and for linking up with #MySundaySnapshot.
