Just a Relaxing Sunday Post

 

Abbot's Bay, Derwent Water in the Lake District

A peaceful, cooling photo for what has been promised to be a hot, hot day.

Cleaning Fruit by William K Blacklock

Something a lot of us are doing at the moment, before jam making, bottling or freezing.

A beautiful green kitchen, and you all know how much I love a green kitchen.  💚

And finally, somewhere to sit and drink the coffee that you make in the beautiful green kitchen.


Hoping you have a lovely relaxing Sunday.

    1. I really can, imagine washing the pots at the sink and looking out on that lovely calm water. What a way to start or end your day.

  5. I'm a big fan of green as well. We've got a bit of a green theme throughout our house. Tesco have reduced their little bistro sets, a bit like the one in the photo, to just £30. Obviously I had to purchase one in lovely sage green!!

    1. Oh lucky you, I saw some similarly reduced sets in retro green I was so tempted, Alan had to pull me up and remind me that our patio already has two chairs and table and two spare chairs stacked in the corner for guests. :-)

    1. They go so well together don't they. You can imagine stepping out of that kitchen with a coffee in hand to rest a while at the table.

    1. He used to photograph the Lake District a lot when I had my little shop. We put the map references on the back of each of the photographs that I had framed in the shop opposite me, and I had them on the walls of my shop to compliment the lavender products that I used to sell there. The visitors really loved the mix.

  10. Beautiful photos. I especially love the shady courtyard with the green bistro set. It's not quite so hot in the house today luckily. I've drawn the blinds and am crafting cards for the Hospice shop.
    Have a lovely Sunday,
    Angie

    1. He was a photographic judge for a lot of the camera clubs in the north of England, so he has a very good eye. My blog photos improved a lot when he gave me a few tips, but I'm not in his league at all.

  14. Gorgeous pics Sue. I picked some Elderberries yesterday washed them and have frozen them to help with removing the berries from the stalks. I will do that tomorrow and keep them frozen for a wee while longer till I have time to make some jam.
