Yesterday afternoon I was looking after my little grandson, Charlie. It was a beautiful day, the sun was shining and it was hot.
I decided we'd go to the park. We had been in the play area for a while then wandered over to the bowling greens. There were several games in play. We parked up on a bench. I remembered that, many moons ago, my wonderful parents in law would go and watch the bowling on a sunny afternoon. I think now I see the attraction. It's such a tranquil game and the people, mainly retired, with all the time in the world on their hands are only too happy to stop and chat.
Charlie found a little playmate, a little girl who was there with her grandparents. They ran around quite happily together and I was very happy to sit and watch and soak up a few rays. Did I say it was hot?
This cottage garden border was absolutely glorious. I'd love a cottage garden, but then who wouldn't? Actually I'd also love a cottage, maybe down in Devon somewhere, yep that would be very nice!
All in all it was a very pleasant way to spend a couple of hours, a summertime simple pleasure for certain.
I'm joining Dayle at this week's Simple Pleasures party.

Oh Kathleen, that is just so beautiful! I would have wanted to stay all afternoon. To enjoy it with family and see your little grandson enjoy it makes it a simple adventure.
A lovely day out! I love the cottage garden border too.
the flowers are beautiful and your day so peaceful
The cottage garden is very inspiring and I need it today. I have been on my knees weeding for hours and hours. Thanks for stopping by Behind the Gate and leaving me a note!
Blessings,

Lovely day in the park! The flowers are no doubt beautiful, and yes a cottage in my later years would do me just fine!
What a lovely way to spend the day! I see from your header and your previous post that you do love the beach, too! We're kindred spirits.
I noticed in your sidebar two pictures of your Uncle Tom's cottage. There's a new blog called Dear Photograph http://dearphotograph.com where you take a picutre of a picture of the past in the present. You need to submit one of that cottage.
A beautiful afternoon with some beautiful pictures to recall
