I feel as if I am being slowly driven mad by the rain and murk; like some sort of aversion therapy but with no known objective! I know I hate rain, why must it be proven to me again and again every day? I am suffering from summer envy. I feel am being deprived of all of those lovely summer things; impromptu beach barbecues, eating outside, feeling warm. Wearing cotton, or linen or (shock!) only one layer!

So, I must look to the bright side. Things to consider:
A renewed focus on health - my health - the kid's health; the need to eat good stuff made from real ingredients. Wholesome and nurturing fruit and vegetables. Even the juicer has made an appearance.

The weekend I spent looking after my blonde-haired, blue-eyed nephew went well; he seemed to like it!
A summer (!) ball coming up on Friday with a vintage theme; I'm thinking 1940s elegant.
Attempting to get through this last week of school without getting too sentimental about moving on.
Seeing the good in change. A friend tried to convince me...it's a good and necessary thing!

Three weeks in the sun IS coming my way...thank goodness. Everything leads to that time!
Everyone, without exception, likes the L'Apothecary 'British Blend'; it was my wild-card entry to the product range, but it has turned out to be a little star!
