We're used to unpredictable weather here in England, but this summer has taken the mickey just a bit! Last time we had great weather, I blogged about it. That was 20th May 2012! This weekend, summer has finally graced us with His presence (I say 'His' because if summer was a 'She', we would have a wonderful few months every year without fail!)
We spent what seemed an age digging up weeds and pruning the hedges to reveal the view from our garden.
I type with a red glow on my body - sitting out crocheting in the sun for a little too long it seems. But I got carried away with the music playing from my ipod and a cheeky drink ;)
Our chimnea was bought with gift vouchers from our wedding back in November 2010. It's one of the best things we've ever purchased, enabling us to sit outside 'til late, feeling snug and warm. It also gives David the opportunity to be a boy scout again...
Mr Summer, please don't leave it so long to visit again, David and Karen miss you!

Those light holders are lovely! You could do co-ordinating coasters for the drinks ...
I remember a lonnnngggg time ago sitting out in the sun! That chimnea looks fun, there's something about wood burning that is so comforting!
I am glad the weather finally took a turn for the better. You've waited a long time for summer to begin!

I love the tea light cosies! And the photo is absolutely gorgeous. I have that same chimenea - so much fun, and yes, my husband acts like a boy scout too.
Beautiful foliage you've got there! You've got a real English rose garden. The only names I could come up with for your roses are: red, orange, and melon. Botany is not my forte.
I have unknown roses in my garden too!!! Love the tea lights, really effective
Here in Washington we get a tease of Summer and then the rains back! We'll both keep our fingers crossed!
Love the tea light covers, too cute!
Visiting from the hop!

Love those little volitive holders. I know what you mean about men with fires, it turns my Mr W into a caveman pyromaniac :)
