This is one of my favourite summertime posts. It features Vivian K. Perry and was shared in 2017. We still love and miss you lots, Viv! I also love the scenery of Barbour Tickle here in Newtown.
Welcome back for the Big Reveal.
On Sunday, I asked “What has gotten Vivian so concerned?”
Scroll down to find out!
On an especially gorgeous Saturday last month, Paul and I decided to go out for a row in the Serendipity, a lovely little punt built by our late neighbour, Ben Perry.
We came up with the ‘brilliant’ idea
to try to take Vivian along.
We did everything we could to coax her aboard,
but she was having no part of it.
In fact, she almost lost her mind that we were going,
with or without her.
She cried to break her heart as we left.
Bon voyage!
Your loss, Viv.
Rounding Perry’s Point…
…and down through the Tickle
Part of a wedding photo shoot.
You never know what you’ll see
when you’re out for a row.
Leaving the Tickle,
we set out for Bennett Island.
In case you were wondering why there are no lifejackets,
the water is very shallow here.
Vivian missed out,
but thank you for coming along!

I will be sharing other summer memories over the next three months. ☀️

What beautiful photos of Viv and of the area around your home, Jennifer. Sooo picturesque! Right out of a travel magazine. And a gorgeous day. I love that blue sky.
But that seems like a lot of rowing! LOL. I’d be in charge of the camera too. Hehe. Happy Summer!

Thank you, Diana, I’m glad you enjoyed the post. Paul was up to the challenge of rowing, and in his happy place where he grew up. As for me with the camera, I think the photos were so great because it was my Canon camera, instead of my iPhone which I have come to rely on too much.
Happy Summer to you too! 😘

Nice. He looked like he was in his happy place. And I couldn’t see you, but I bet you were there too. 😀

What a lovely row. Poor Vivian! She probably thought you were in grave danger going out on the water like that. I miss her too. xo

Darlene, that is exactly what she was thinking, I believe. She cried as well like that one time Paul went for a swim off the point. That’s so sweet you saying you miss her too. 💙
