You Know Summer's Begun in Earnest When....

....you can post the traditional "first paddling pool pictures of the year", lol.

Emily's been in the pool at every available moment so far today (and had to be dragged out, dripping, to get to ballet in time). She's watching England now but will be hotfooting it back out again shortly, no doubt!
While she's lapping up every minute of sun I, on the other hand, have begun in earnest my ritual complaints of "It's too hot!!!!" There's a lot to be said for autumn, you know.
