The summer cottage that we have hired for six months was drenched in sun.
(Perhaps I should just clarify that Oscar is looking for his Kong!)
So imagine our surprise when we went to the little beach and discovered big blocks of ice still floating in the bay.
But that didn’t stop Oscar, the dog, from taking the plunge
And shaking icy rainbows of joy all over us.
No need to ask if the water is cold.
We move to the jetty to enjoy the sun and the view.
But…
Oh oh – here he comes again!
Hope you all had a lovely holiday!

Oscar the dog looks like he’s having a great time, and so do the kids. That ice would keep me in shoes and on dry land, but think what I’d be missing.
