The summer that practically never was has
been sweeping towards autumn for quite some time now. The only positive thing
about the weather was that we got less rainfall than most of the country. I suppose we could take some consolation in knowing that.
Nevertheless, I’m not letting the season go just yet but
must look back on the time spent at the cottage, especially the flowering, for no other reason than to remind myself there actually was some. I must also introduce the smallest of our summer guests, the two who stayed for weeks.
Please meet Unna, the housecat my daughter found at a cat rescue home to keep company
to Sheena since her older Maine Coon passed away last autumn. Unna is young and
playful and loves to sit on your lap, which is wonderful as our late Jack never
did.
Despite the disappointing coolness I must
admit even this summer had its moments. The days spent with family and friends
were most memorable. We also attended some great events but more about that
department later, I hope.
Beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Penny. I couldn't help posting them even this late, for myself to admire during winter.
DeleteUnna looks gorgeous and how lovely she's a lap cat. Despite the weather your photos are stunning as always. Glad you've had some happy family time to remember in the depths of winter. Here's hoping for a late summer burst of heat in September. B x
ReplyDeleteUnna or Nunna as my daughter often calls her (meaning the Nun) is a treasure. Luckily we've had a few lovely days recently, for September that is.
DeleteKauniita kuvia ja suloinen Unna.
ReplyDeleteMukavaa syksyä sinulle!
Kiitos samoin! Toivotaan aurinkoisia päiviä pitkälle syksyyn.
DeleteYour two visitors look as if they enjoy the cottage as much as you! They are lucky cats to go away on holiday too! I love the pictures of the water from your cottage, they are always a delight to see no matter in which season they occur. The evenings are now dark by 8:15 that is not a welcome sight! Sarah x
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping for a long and sunny autumn to be able to continue visiting the cottage. As there is no actual heating system there sunshine 'heating' is essential for overnighting.
DeleteSweet photos of your cute house-guests! Lovely photos of the flowers and water, too. Such an idyllic place. xx Karen
ReplyDeleteThanks, Karen. We didn't have many chances to lazy about at the cottage this summer but whenever we did I tried to remember to take some photos.
