It's still only April and yet we have had the most gorgeous few days. It has been as warm as any summer day.
Loads of jobs were done outside.
The summer slipcovers were washed and dried on the line along with a huge quilt.
The garden table and chairs were power sprayed clean and hubby even finished the little shed that we have nicknamed the dunny because it looks like an outside loo.
For any of you international fellow bloglanders you may or may not know but as soon as the sun is out most of the British nation make a mad rush for it, sunblock in hand - the expression - mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun - comes to mind. Well forget midday - ALL DAY!
Yes a good weekend was had by all. I just hope that it keeps up for this week at least cos I have loads more quilts I could wash!!
It doesn't bear thinking about.Just call me the washer woman, well it will take a few years to get through this lot and that's just the start of it!! So I guess I am hoping for quite a few sunny days then?

Thanks for the lovely comments! I'm having one of those wash day Mondays today (first load in washing machine). You were right about all your quilts - you do have a lot and they are all gorgeous. Hope you get some time to enjoy this weather.

Ginny, we have wonderful British neighbors who have a vacation home next to us. They are on their way over here tomorrow. I know they always hate going back home after visiting Florida if England is gloomy. Enjoy your sunshine! I'll tell them to bring some extra sun back home to you when they return ;-)
I'm pleased to hear that you are making the most of the sunshine. Every time I have called my family in the U.K. recently, they have told me that they are enjoying glorious weather. Here in Toronto, we are still waiting for Spring to arrive - cold and windy again!
I love your blog and will visit again soon.

I like that postcard and your amazing collection of quilts. Isn't it great to get things dried outside and several loads in one day - think all Britain has been washing yesterday!
Hi Ginny,
There's nothing like getting the washing out on the line in the sunshine and a nice breeze is there?! Then there's the lovely smell of line-dried fabrics - mmmmm!
I gave our outdoor table and chairs a good scrubbing over the weekend - as you say, we English head for the great outdoors the moment the sun shines!
