Under an umbrella.

Another scorcher of a day. Bob is waiting in the library when I come downstairs.

So is Sophie.

The library has a cold stone floor which is deliciously cool. In summer this becomes the PON bedroom.

Out into the garden until the heat builds and it's time to come indoors. Angus trims the lavender, or, at least makes a start on it. There are still bees around so the lavender bushes that are still in flower are left well alone. Sophie takes to heart the lesson that a Princess should always doze under an umbrella. I try to explain that to avoid the sun the umbrella should be open.

The last field of sunflowers now past their prime. Their heads starting to droop. That only leaves melons and the autumn wheat to be harvested before the farms dotted along the ridge settle down for winter.
