One Last Hurrah for Summer

The last Bank Holiday of Summer and the weather was FABULOUS.  The thermometer  hitting 30 degrees.  I even went for a swim in the sea.  Every time it happens, I can't believe it.  The high temperatures were a result of warm air being dragged up over the UK from France and came after a wet and chilly August.

August is counting down its last days, and summer is coming to an end.

Summer is my favourite season, and I'll miss it dearly.

I'll miss dining al fresco on the patio, sipping white wine and smelling the faintest hint of jasmine.  Or strolling down to the beach for a sundowner.

The warm weather didn't last long.  The following weekend it was rather chilly watching the Bournemouth Night Air Show.  Sadly no Red Arrows performance this year as the display team was on a nine-week tour of North America,  but the Eurofighter Typhoon gave a special dusk display. Spectacular night flying and pyrotechnics over Bournemouth Bay on Friday evening.  Jamie and Chloe and indeed all of us were wowed by Otto the helicopter's firework display. Amazing.
