Arrivals

This lovely moth - a Jersey Tiger - arrived briefly on our balcony - just long enough for Col to get this photo.

And the caravans arrived on the Green on Sunday night - only a few though. A whole procession drove past, then after a while some came back and drove onto the Green in front of our balcony, where we were having a glass of wine before watching the swimming (Olympics).  So I wondered if there was not enough room wherever it was they were going, which cannot have been far, as they came back quite quickly.

It turned out that most of them parked in the car park of the local swimming pool, and by this morning they were all gone. The Council must have been swamped with complaints as it's just about impossible to find anywhere else to park on the seafront in a sunny July.  Our caravaners are still outside. The Police were round yesterday, but if I remember from last time, they get two weeks before they have to leave.

They are quiet enough neighbours really.

The weather is so hot - and beach and Green are full up with holidaymakers. It would have been a perfect day for swimming, if I were only able to go in. But, alas, I can't. If only we had sea pools like they do in Oz - I could get safely in and out of them.

Anyway, I must always remember that every day is a bonus now - and that if we are in the restored earthly paradise, we will be able to swim all we want, in sea, lake and river. The earth will be under perfect management then, and we will swim in the clear, sparkling waters of paradise.
