It's cottage season

Off we go to the north...my parents have suggested we should 'learn' how to open the cottage for the season, in case they are travelling another year, or something. I don't want to think about them not being around or capable of things they have always done, but I suppose I had better prepare myself for the possibility. Every day I interact with many who are much younger and less mobile, it is a real eye-opener and sad.
Anyway, finally glad that the summer, or hints of it, are upon us.
Cheers! Go mix that margharita and locate some firewood...
