Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!

About Me
- Cro Magnon
- I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching). Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!
Ahhh! June/July in Europe - such wonderful days! I was in the UK for the summer once, but, it was gone by mid-afternoon! lol!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are having perfect weather now.
ReplyDeleteMorning Cro - you're not the only one with blue skies this morning. A rare event.
ReplyDeleteIt's either the Microsoft Cloud or a con-trail around a military drone of some sort.
ReplyDeletep.s. Your lawn looks fabulously healthy.
And the arboretum's not bad either!
DeleteBut at the moment, it's lovely!
ReplyDeleteThat very same cloud floated over us last night, I swear.
ReplyDeleteGreat picture.
ReplyDeleteIt started breaking up just seconds later!
DeleteOh you're just showing off now because you know the weather here in England is RUBBISH!
ReplyDeleteStunning. We're in for storms, i think.
ReplyDeleteNo it isn't. Sunshine day here too. We had your share of rain last week.
ReplyDeleteoh, what a great photo! Bravo!
ReplyDeleteLoverly picture. It's good to be back visiting some of my favorite blogs again today. Got a good laugh at your wife putting the shampoo on her legs, and am amazed at how wonderfully your garden is doing. It's been bloody hot here, and no rain in ages, so our garden's only doing so-so. Summer as usual. Oh, love that pic of the stag beetle, too. Nifty looking critter.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you tossed a cotton ball up and quickly snapped a picture.
ReplyDeleteThat is profound! Lovely.
