Here's to a second chance at summer; the weather this week has been glorious. Sunny, warm and like the much-talked-about-but-rarely-experienced 'Indian Summer' that we always get promised here in England. Having prepared for winter cool, I instead find myself digging out flipflops and linen skirts for this little spell of warm weather.
More puppy days have ensued - beach and field walks with him trotting along behind me like the new friend that he is. He is a pleasure...I recommend 'Dog Island'; it's good fun.
I am finding the days merge; punctuated by school runs and dog walks. It's an utterly suburban life and whilst I am revelling in every moment, I get pangs occasionally of wanting the high life. To be out in the city with friends. Wearing heels. I usually get this feeling at this time of year and have come to expect it; it leads to plans for nights out to satiate this need to socialise after dark! The feeling that makes you want to put on a dress and head out. Somewhere glitzy. Hmmm, will have to work on that...

Here's to a sunny weekend...Byeeee!
Conversely, winter has made a bit of a return here this past week, and I am not happy about it!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend, Lou :) xox
I'm loving the sunshine - the university feels wonderful in the sun with students sitting reading and chatting on the green. Idyllic.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are enjoying the restful life on dog island, I don't think it rules out the odd night out in heels though.
What gorgeous images. I know exactly what you mean about sudden cravings for the "high life". I've lived a tranquil life in Spain for the last 10 years. It's all become so tranquil it's verging on dull. I too miss the "high life", hence plans to return to London. There's only so mnay weekends you can spend at the beach. Just not ready to retire just yet ;-)
ReplyDeleteThese images are wonderful Lou.... you have a great eye! This weather is amazing... I have to pinch myself to check that I am actually in England!
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a wonderful day Lou!

So there ~ you can keep your feet in both worlds ~ a flip flop on one foot and a heel in the other! Keep those girlfriends close Lou ~ they will be able to give you a taste when you need "a fix". Sounds like you are in puppy love ~ have you been bitten or are you smitten! Hope you are having a wonderful week-end. xo
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Especially love the second to last image - I dream of buying a house in France one day and this could be the way it looked. Dreaming on now... :) xx
ReplyDeleteI always forget that our seasons are flip flopped from one another, Lou :) But put on that dress, girlfriend and head out for a night on the town! As always you have selected such gorgeous images! xoxo
