The tree outside the house is especially beautiful this year.....

....however you look at it....far away....

......close up or.....

.....from a doggy's favourite angle....

He is such a chicken, all these fireworks mean that he will only go out before it gets dark, but with all this lovely sunshine we have been out in the park every morning for the last few days...

.....We hardly found it crowded....

...and he couldn't decide whether to paddle, or walk round the wet bits, but he always goes home absolutely filthy.

Sara arrived early this morning for the weekend, poor John had to stay behind to work, as they decided he couldn't have the day off, even though he had booked and arranged it ages ago.  So he is flying in tomorrow morning instead- to East Midlands- Dad's favourite.  At the moment it is raining, looks as if it will spoil the fireworks we were going to see tonight.  Bet we go in the car and sit outside the fence watching them for free.

This afternoon we went to Doctors and Gloria was sat feeding baby Emma, Roy's new baby daughter....
