Midsummer has been and gone, but for us, summer is only just starting.
Long days of spontaneous joys and laziness lie ahead.
And, best of all, the dazzling delights of late evening sunsets
Lie ready to unfurl their colours
And make us gasp in wonder.

I love the way Oscar is gazing into the distance with his ears at the alert. Perhaps he’s wondering if it really is a hot air balloon on the horizon (or is that just me??)
