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.

I've done some harping on about spring in the last few weeks (here and here and here). But now my preoccupation with spring is slowly turning into thoughts of summer. Wouldn't this be the perfect spot to relax on a warm summer's evening, with candles flickering in the breeze as you watch the light dying over the sea? Pure magic.
I'm not sure where this home is exactly - only that it's on the Spanish island of Formentera. Probably best. If I could find it on Google maps the temptation to pop in for sundowners would be too great!
