Sunshine after the storm

The  cottage garden this afternoon.

 After the horrible weather of the past two days, when the only sensible option was to cower indoors, today's interlude of fine calm weather was extremely welcome and it was a pleasure to get out into the garden.

The Sebrights enjoyed their afternoon out.
