It's a cruel, cruel summer

Himself picked me up from work and we dropped off at home and contemplated the heat.  

I suggested an ice cream on the beach so we did .

It was lush. 

We went down and sat on a bench and watched a not inconsiderable amount of people splashing in the water.

The tide was so far out there was plenty of space for ball games and toy planes and sandcastles 

And BBQs.  

When the smell of sausages sizzling and chips getting handed out from the snack bar started we headed off 

As a nation we are never happy with the weather
