SUDDENLY IT'S SUMMER----and what a difference!


What a difference in just a few days! Last week when I looked out along the way, the rocky beach was empty,and there were few cars to be seen. Today sunbathers lie there, soaking up the summer sun. 
The change comes almost imperceptibly, and it's the same way every year.
This month there will still be a tranquil atmosphere, july and august will be rather more hectic.


And it's not just people,- boats too! For the next few months the little bay across from us will become a mini marina.




There is always someone who can find a quiet spot!



Ernest is all set for his morning fishing,-----but oh dear, I think he may have spotted a JELLY FISH !


And so we move into the summer months in St Paul's Bay. Sunshine, blue sky and sea:holiday makers and locals savouring the simple pleasures of outdoor living after a long winter. School will soon be fnished for three months here, and the youngsters are gearing up! Cafes and restaurants are offering tempting menus,day trips are being organised,evening promenades are more frequent,  band marches and festas are at the ready,and we move into this summer scene, determined this year to appreciate fully its simple joie de vivre. 

 Cheers, Maureen

Yes, I can start my summer holidays now; my carpets are up and as much winter clutter as possible has been put away for less dusting. Have had three swims already -water still cold, the sea doesn't know summer has come yet.
