As this year's summer days pass so quickly and one lovely summer's day - yesterday - is so easily followed by a miserable, wet autumn-like day - today - summer feels like it's slipping away, and there hasn't been enough time to enjoy it.
Summers should be spent enjoying long, lazy days. But life just doesn't work that way any more. This summer has been anything but leisurely. So Passe-par-tout has fallen to the bottom of the to-do list. But, as time should always be made for a little bit of loveliness, I thought I'd share these.
When your home is a gorgeous valley, tucked away under the Tuscan sun how can you help but grow up to be so exquisite?
And back to work.

Now that summer is finally here I can't stop dreaming about sandy beaches as far as the eye can see, shimmering water, walks in the country, ice-cream, favourite flowers like lavender, daisies and poppies, cocktails at sunset and days that go on and on.
Here are some postcards of my summer so far.
Summer is so precious in the UK. Before you know it it's gone. So I'm trying to hold on to these long days, relish feeling hot and bothered, make the most of wearing sandals and dresses, linger over the last few moments of sunlight each day.
And when it's over, and the days get short and the skies turn grey, I'll have these memories to look back on.
