Summer House

Good afternoon dear reader. Well, I had the best of intentions today. I was going to spend time with a friend outdoors drinking coffee and eating cake. Alas, the British weather caught up with my plans and all we’ve had is rain today. No matter, we stayed indoors instead. My summer house would have also served this purpose perfectly, if only it existed in my real life. Next time I’ll just stay online instead 😉

Midsummer Enchantment

For those who love their fashion, home and garden Gothic, Whimsical, Fae or Bohemian, Midsummer Enchantment is now open and packed with goodies to enjoy. The event runs until the 26th July, so you have plenty of time to pop along and check things out. There is also a 5L hunt on the sim so keep your eye out for little purple masquerade masks as they contain little treats. I’ve photographed a few of them here for you. One thing I love about the event is the build and the event organisers always provide perfect nooks and crannies for photographs.

On to the essential information….

Enjoy – and remember, the event ends on the 26th July – so don’t miss out!

Afternoon Tea

We have beautiful weather today in the UK, which makes me very happy for two reasons. Firstly, it’s the Mister’s birthday so I know he’ll spend time in the sun enjoying his doggy walks. Secondly, it puts me in the mood to sit in the sun, drink tea and listen to all the sounds of nature. If someone asks me what one thing I’ve learned from this entire lock down experience, it’s been to enjoy the little quiet moments….being in the garden, listening to birds, watching leaves rustling in the breeze and feeling the sun’s warmth seep into my skin.

Paint me

“Paint me like one of your French girls”, she whispered lovingly…her words a caress upon my ears. Sad thing was she didn’t realise I could barely do paint by numbers, let alone a portrait. Sticking my tongue out in concentration I tried my best, but suspected that the end result would look…basic. Ahh well, at least I got a decent tan in the process.
