An End-of-Summer Right of Passage

    I have since had two swims (actually twice today so that makes three) as it has been a beautiful weekend. So happy I postponed the pool closure until next week. We often have a summery week late in September so that has been a definite bonus!

   I cleaned the pool yesterday so it won't be too disgusting when the pool guys come to partially drain it and put the cover on. That is always a sad day but at least my electricity bill will be reduced considerably, and the water bill as well. I couldn't survive the summer without a pool but it is quite an expensive luxury.


Still looking good!

    1. It's back to cooler temperatures today so that is probably it for this year.

  2. I think it is a brilliant luxury and a price worth paying. It's a super thing to have.

    1. I feel very blessed, just wish I could keep it open longer but is just too cool at night by this time in the year.

  3. Wow your very own pool how lovely - I expect it is worth every penny and just think of the health gains from swimming - it is one of the best forms of exercise.x

    1. I'm very lazy about exercising in the pool, use it mostly to cool down after other activities. It's especially nice when I have been toiling in the garden!

  4. Glad you got a few more swims in before the closing. Your pool does bring you lots of joy & family connections, so worth the money. :)

  5. Yay for extending your pool season and thereby extending summer. Autumn doesn't need to be in a rush to arrive, does it.

  6. That last swim is always bittersweet. At least there's next year to look foward to. X
