Summer must have taken to heart my comment last week that it had arrived early. It swiftly retreated, the temperature dropped and the sun paid us only a fleeting visit.
It has been just wet enough for any plans involving the outdoors to be constantly under review.
We had planned a day out at Dunham Massey but ended up staying local, which meant several visits to Nostell. We are avoiding Temple Newsam until it recovers from the damage caused by the recent music festival.
Summer arrived last week and made quite a dramatic entrance as temperatures soared into the 30s and thunder rumbled overhead.
It was a little early, as meteorological summer does not begin until 1 June, and astronomical summer this year starts at exactly 9:24 am BST on 21 June if we want to be precise.
Ruby had to miss a couple of walks because it was simply too hot. Fortunately, she had a visit from the groomer on Thursday and is now sporting her summer cut. She could really have done with a haircut a few days earlier, but appointments need to be booked well in advance.
The temperature eventually cooled enough for some walks, much to Ruby’s delight.
