Summer in Pannal

At last a bit of summer. The day the Olympics started we had summer here also for the Paralympics. Could not believe it. Has been a marvellous few weeks. Warm with sunshine. A lot of gardening has been done and sitting around too. Glued to the tv we have been. Not during the day I may add but at 7pm. London did Britain proud and Britain did Britain proud. Loved every minute of it but alas it is now over. School has started once more and there is no crossing lady. That was a short lived appointment. Bit scary too as I see mothers crossing the road with their children at the Rosedale junction and looking right and left but not behind them. Why they cannot wait until they are further down the road I do not know. Also saw one dopey dad letting the children cross on their own as a car was turning down the road he then screamed at them and shook the boy. I try not to look out of the window. The Harwood pub has re-opened shall go up and have a drink. Cannot at the moment as Bas is on antibiotics for a tooth abcess and cannot take alcohol. So I will not been mean and slosh down the old beer when he cannot. The roadworks are finished so we can go up and down Main Street and Station Road again. I do not have to go all round the houses in Burn Bridge to get to the golf club now. Have been to see Jenny in hospital and she is coming on well. Speech coming back and she has been walkies in a wheelchair. Went to see a concert thingy at Pannal Memorial Hall on Saturday and we came home at the interval. Never done that before and felt so guilty. We did not join the queue for refreshments but made for the door. Nearly killed ourselves getting out hoping no one would notice. We were giggling walking down the road. Having new neighbours once again. Keeps changing hands nothing we have said honest.
