It may not be that perfect but it still looks beautiful to me. One of only three apples we’ll be harvesting from our orchard this year. For an orchard that’s only 2 years old it’s not a bad start. It’s been a wonderful few days at the beach. Just what the doctored ordered and as luck would have it summer arrived at the same time. We booked a bach (a beach summer house) and the most energetic thing we did was chase the bassets around the beach.... He may not be our water babe but Little basset is a beach babe. So much space to run and prance around in. Not to mention the sniffing options which are almost limitless. It was hard keeping track of where he was with his tendencies to head for the dunes and... These seagulls seem to have perfected the whole beach vibe. Hanging out on the rocks in the sun. No sense in rushing around when you can chill out instead. My sentiments exactly! Swimming has not been a strong point for Fortnum and Mason but big basset is getting braver as far as paddling goes. I’ll have him out on a surf board before the week is out. That’s if he recovers his nerve from this over basset sized wave.
