Rebuilding history

The first really hot day of the summer, it snuck up to 29 degrees, lovely..... we decamped to the garden, pottered about in the shade, played with No3 in the sand box. T1 managed to keep her thick winter tights on all day at school - t2 came home in long trousers and a long sleeve t-shirt, not hot enough for them yet! Nothing creative today - except burying some threads - so here's one I took last week.....


I regularly pass by or through one of the 3 local aqueducts - this one is being repaired, it's a long stretch outside of Kemerburgaz, the aqueducts have a fascinating and long history, I don't think they carry any water today, but they look fabulous. The scale is stunning - the workers are lost. The scaffolding is scary...... This is just a tiny slice of this monster aqueduct, Uzunkemer, it's 25m tall and 711m long..... it's impressive! It's repair makes me happy...
