Ours was still quite cold until after the holiday weekend as the nights were in the 50s and my heater was down. But then of course Mother Nature stepped right up and heated us up. It was good timing for many happy hours were spent with a laughing shrieking 3 1/2 year old.Mardelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04850551308931710502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-3136044731428414112010-07-15T08:30:52.596-07:002010-07-15T08:30:52.596-07:00lbr: I suspect I just might be camera-happy next w...lbr: I suspect I just might be camera-happy next week . . . <br />Alison: Yes, we saw Sherlock Holmes, and no, I was not tempted at all to imitate that dive!

Like bath water!! But I would be more than happy to dangle my toes in your sea.<br />Have you seen the most recent Sherlock Holmes? When Robert Downey Jnr dives in we all recoiled in horror. Thank God you did not jump into the Thames, the water is not so pleasant, but it is the rip tides that will kill you. People forget it is tidal hence some of the sandy bits.indigo16https://www.blogger.com/profile/16982477144454205765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-81957381545480617932010-07-14T14:09:14.668-07:002010-07-14T14:09:14.668-07:00I am hoping that you are going to have pictures of...I am hoping that you are going to have pictures of the girl in her pool!<br />xoLa Belette Rougehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686717070120116918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-88761989770616690482010-07-14T06:51:40.177-07:002010-07-14T06:51:40.177-07:00HHR: We both swim in the saltchuck regularly, alth...HHR: We both swim in the saltchuck regularly, altho' Pater prefers to wait 'til August. Around here, our neighbours try to shame us into it -- in years past they would hold a Mother's Day swim, yes, that's right, swimming in MAY!!! and they try to keep it going in September. July and August are generally quite pleasant. I've swum here in June and it can be painfully bone-chilling.<br />K-Line: We are v. lucky, I know -- it was the low-bank access (almost walk on, really) that enticed us into a new mortgage almost 20 years ago, and we've never regretted it). Some days, though, a pool would be lovely instead -- oh, for some heated water!materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-41363520415491756332010-07-13T18:31:24.198-07:002010-07-13T18:31:24.198-07:00Oh, I'd love to have your access to a beach!
