My Sunday Photo... Toasting Tootsies


Today, it felt like it was the first day of the summer.
For the first time I could actually feel heat in the sun, so we decided to make the most of it. 
Out came the sun loungers... a very rare thing this summer. 
We decided to relax and enjoy it. 
It's a good job we did because within an hour or two the rain had returned!
I think we can safely say that this summer has been a complete wash out... well so far it has, but you never know we might have an Indian Summer. 
(I'm forever hopeful)
I'm keeping today's post brief... just in case the sun comes back... I've got to be ready to catch it! 

As usual I'm linking up with Photalife
I hope the sun shines for you.
Enjoy your Sunday

    1. Well actually we have summer for the odd hour here and there, it really has been a poor one up to now, but I'm hoping it will go up a gear soon! I can't imagine heading into autumn until I've felt a little more heat.

    1. It certainly was bliss Emma and not something I indulge in normally, but my daughter was visiting and we haven't seen much of the sun, so I wanted to give it my full attention!

    1. Well we've seen it at breakfast and now it's just appeared. But the in between was a grey blanket once again. I've never known a summer like it! Let's hope we get an Indian Summer!

    1. Well I managed to get about an hour of sun Louise... but an hour is better than none. The sun is just being very illusive this summer!

    1. You are right there Cathy, we've seen very little of the sun over the last few weeks... an hour here and there, so now I'm determined that I will enjoy it when it appears.
      Autumn will come calling soon enough!

    1. It certainly is Darren... I hope to sneak in another hour or two when the sun decides to return.
      It's very illusive at the moment!

  7. What a lovely photo, but sorry to hear your summer has been so awful. It hasn't been brilliant down south, but it's not been too bad either!

    1. I'm hoping an Indian summer is on it's way to us Sarah. I just can't imagine autumn coming soon, without having one good blast of heat first!

  8. We have been out and about in the sun with the boys. I would KILL to get 5 minutes to put my feet up and laze in it, so your picture looks very inviting!

    1. Aww I hope you can manage to do some relaxing at some stage.
      I have to tell you that I don't usually indulge, but my daughter was visiting so we lounged whilst catching up. Normally I'd be weeding or doing some garden chore.

    1. It didn't last long here either Kim. We are getting the odd sunshine in the early morning and late afternoon... but it's been mostly grey cloud and showers!

    1. Oh me too! I think if we all think positive thoughts it will come!
      Mind due I thought that for July and August! We only seem to see the sun for the odd hour here and there. I just hope there's more before autumn comes.

    1. Hot? Hot Rita? I haven't felt hot since I left Melbourne, or had the wood burner blasting out!
      I've decided to make the most of any opportunity... if the sun shines I go out... if it doesn't I stay in and if I possibly can I try to squeeze some art into the mix!

    1. I absolutely agree Jennifer. Getting our daily dose of Vitamin D is far more important for our well being. I'm leaving my household chores too... if that sun shines... I'm out there!

    1. Only if there's a prevailing wind Sandy! (hehe)
      We have had some lovely sunshine, but then I think most days we seen
      some rain. We've even had foggy mornings.
      I know what it's like to be without rain after living in the Middle East. It will be wonderful when it arrives.
