Hulllooo! Happy New Year!
With the Summer in full-swing in these 'ere parts, I'm generally staying away from media and pooters, and swinging between resting and doing. The resting has been happening a fair bit lately with the shtinking hot days we've been having. I've been lolloping in the shade with my notebooks and pen, a novel, some non-fictional reading matter, a whacking great jug of iced herbal tea, (with lemon balm leaves for additional calm), and enough watermelon to sink a small un-seaworthy boat.
It's all about being here now and not really being terribly bovvered about much at all. Shamelessly I might add. It's the one time of the year that I really get to do that without too many distractions.
So here's a teensy glimpse of our Summer, which has thus far included enjoying a Solstice picnic with the Moon, and involved copious amounts of ice cold ginger beer, my favourite blue dress, and a sinuous Indian flute playing live and most serendiptitously in the background. It was both otherworldly and bucolic. And very sunshiney. In fact, it was a most welcome and soulful respite from the Christmas mayhem going on around us.
We also took the opportunity to head off to the country for market some market browsing, and possibly the best chai I have ever tasted, Vegas-themed elopement parties, (ok, just the one then), and selecting patterns to make summer dresses with fabric from my rapidly shrinking stash - mainly for the Moon who is growing like a weed. A very lanky dandelion-ish type of weed in fact.
And I actually do have many more interesting photos than these ones, (I do love my Hipstamatic app on ye olde iphone - perfect for the lazy, crap photographer), but these were the only ones I had without our faces in 'em. So the vibe will have to be sufficient here.
Hope you're enjoying/have enjoyed some pleasant and relaxing holiday time - whatever season you're deep in now.

Your picnic looks lovely, and you captured the light so well!! Wish I was there.
ReplyDeletelove seeing personal pics.
ReplyDeleteyour Summer sounds very similar to how mine was up here in da North - idleness at its best, with novels and cool drinks.
wow, the best chai ever?
