That garden in your last photo 😍 I went to a PYO farm with my daughter the other day and it was lovely to take home hand picked produce and then make something with them 🍓 lovely ideas here!
Thank you, Jenny! Visiting a PYO farm is my favourite Summer ritual, can't wait to go once we've moved! Hope you had a lovely time, sounds like it. 🍓🍓🍓
You’re not alone. I love this season and it exhausts me so. The weather is finally perfectly lovely and suitable for being outside allllll of the time. And so I am. But I can only handle this pace for so long. I’m trying to soak it up, savor it and also trust my own mind and body to tell me when I need to chill.
Oh I totally feel you on the “not my season” thing! I seem to pick up my seasonal enjoymentness from August to the rest of the year but something happens between May and July that I just sort of switch off from my surroundings.
My theory this year is that at this time of years there’s simply too much to see - so many flowers and vegetables growing, all the birds and other wildlife, and so many outdoor events and activities you end up not seeing any of it. Whereas through the other seasons there’s more distinctive things to look out for.
It sort of reminds me of flower arranging where it’s good to include negative space (I.e. gaps) to create more impact and shape to your design etc
Sounds ideal to me, Kay. Enjoy your slow Summer days at home! 🌹🌹

Glad to hear it, Ashley. Summer can be so exhausting! I know exactly what you mean about the pace, and hope you manage some slow days soon. X

I'm glad it resonated, Beth. Yes - it can be overwhelming, can't it! Hope you manage some slow time and "negative space" soon. X
