Good morning dearest early birds! Let’s start the day with trees…in fact we can’t really go wrong if we ponder trees morning, noon and night! What say you??
Briefest burst of excitement here in North London as approximately 25 droplets of rain fall, only to instantly evaporate in my garden which currently looks a little like the parched surface of Venus. Hey ho
Good morning beautiful people! Wishing you a breathtakingly lovely day!
Good morning angels! I’m glad something in my garden in thriving in this heat! I battled with them for years, but learned to make my peace with these cheery little bee-magnets. Who am I to deny my pollinator pals? Wishing you a chilled new week (I originally mistyped this as ‘weed’ 😂)
Good morning, sweet early birds! Is #SunflowerSunday a thing? It is in my house! Wishing you the best of all possible days!
When you have the garden door open all day: My bed, but not my cat!
Dappled sunlight, so August’s off to a beautiful beginning! Happy day to you, Blue Sky friends!
One moment you’re strolling through the winter planting at Kew, your extremities ringing with the cold & the next you’re waking on the last day of July, gently poached in perspiration! Good morning dear hearts & welcome to life as we know it! Hope you have a day to cherish!
Good morning! It was a sweltering, restless night, but woke and there was birdsong and a gentle breeze through the window! Here’s to a refreshing day of Thursday upsides!
Good morning early birds! Awoke earlier than I might have hoped for, but it’s already shaping up to be a beautiful day, so it’s all good! A happy and hopeful midweek to you!
Just been to Post Office to post a copy of a beloved novel to a friend who’s going through the mill at the moment. PO bloke: What is the value of what you’re sending? Me: Priceless…but, in retail terms £8.99 He gives me odd ‘Oh she’s a nutter’ look 😂
Good morning and welcome to Gosh Is It Really the Last Week In July Already?! These summer days are so precious, enjoy!
Awake & immediately notice things are different: There’s a grey sky, after weeks (?) of blue I’ve slept in beyond 7.30…what the flip?? Looks like I’ll be embracing the ‘change is as good as a rest’ theory! A very lovely Sunday to you, whatever the circumstances!
Good morning chums and a happy Saturday to you! If I’m not mistaken, this feels very much like a lying-under-a-tree-staring-at-the-leaves-filtering-the-summer-light kind of day! My favourite! Hope you do something you love today!
Good morning early birds! Yesterday’s post proved I cannot be relied upon to always know what day of the week it is, but I can always be relied on for a cheery start to the day, so a warm welcome to-checks diary-Friday! Wake up & smell the lavender (the only thing thriving in my garden right now!)

Save this one for tomorrow! But have a riproaring day anyway!! 😂🙄
Good morning, lovely people! It’s Friday! It’s summertime! What’s not to love? Have a rip-roaring day!

Good morning Blue Sky friends! Awoke to gentle warmth and a view of the tree outside my window in full and friendly leaf! After weeks away, it’s great to be home! Wishing you a day of achievable upsides!
Home from Menorca, where it’s been lipstick-meltingly hot! I know from headlines that it’s been similar here (although it’s simply a perfectly pleasant English summer day now) but I quickly find evidence of previous heat in my south facing kitchen where my rubber gloves have melted on a window sill!
The World Cup is over…and so, soon, is my holiday! The last precious day today! Thank you Menorca, you’ve been as beautiful as ever
Good morning, sweet early birds! As a city gal I always feel it’s such a privilege to be able to watch the sun rise! I feel I should be thinking Big & Important Things…but it’s still a little early for that! A simply lovely Sunday to you, wherever you are!
Good morning beautiful people! Wishing you a kindly and happy day!
Any holiday I take always features at least as much reading as anything else! The particular joy of this one has not only been the rereading of the wonderful #CazaletChronicles, but also #TheGoldenHour, a brand new addition to the series by #LouisaYoung, a huge undertaking which was a heavenly treat
Good morning, Blue Sky people! Wishing you a day to look back on with a smile!
