Summer 2

Summer 1

Summer 3 

Summer 4 

Summer 5 

………………………………….

a warm summer's weekend: dinner with friends outside in the garden, icecream from the corner shop, sunflowers growing outside my sewing room, a new beach bag sewn from an old curtain. filled with swimming gear to take to the river.

    I love the glimpses of how your life is so inspired by the seasons and it fascinates me that your seasons are the opposite to mine. We are in deep snow today- dreaming of sunflowers!

    Oh! Tip Top Vanilla Ice Cream! In a cardboard tub! I can taste the little wooden spoon, just thinking about it. Nothing compares.
    This wonderful little piece of paradise always makes me so homesick… in the most delightful way… thank you for reminding me of so many half-forgotten things that I love. Glad you had a great weekend xx
