I could get used to this.

I'm enjoying it while I can, though. I've taken to dressing for work in inappropriately summery attire. (You would still totally take legal advice from a person wearing jaunty nautical stripes, wouldn't you?) I've spent every day shivering in the icy winds gusting through the office from the cranked-up air conditioning, and shooting occasional death stares outside at the sunshine. "Look at that sunshine, just... flaunting herself right outside my window, with her... rays. That hussy. Damn her and her big shiny, beautiful face. Whatever. Pass me my straw hat."



At least we've had the evenings; the glorious, long, almost-sort-of-balmy-if-you-huddle-together evenings. Evenings made for leisurely strolls. Just me, the hubster, half a million people crammed into a hurriedly-constructed beer garden, and the dog. And her one ear. (She does have another one, I swear. She's just keeping it under wraps.)

I can't believe it was this time last year that I wrote this. We were in Aviemore again last weekend, but instead of hitting the slopes, we were hitting the beach. I'll give you this, Scotland: you certainly know how to keep us on our toes.




How have you been enjoying our freaky mini-summer? What do you think the chances are that it will be like this in June when we go to stay on a stupid Scottish island for a week instead of going on a proper holiday to a hot place like normal people? Please say very high. Thanks.


All pictures by me, taken close to our flat (recognise that lighthouse?). I'm still loving Lauren's photography tips. Light! Lines! Sun stars! Oh my!

    All those photos are gorgeous, but let's be honest, the one of smidgen the one eared wonder dog wins. Mini summer still in full swing down here too, in sunny Carlisle - we had a BBQ the other night!

    I am seriously pissed off about the weather - from craning my neck from my desk I can see that it's sunny outside but when the weekend comes, the sun is gone (I was working on Sunday admittedly). This weekend is predicting a top temp of a measly 9. And apparently it's more likely to snow at Easter than it was as Christmas. Sulk.

    We went to St Andrews on a Saturday with a couple of friends and we had to take all the monuments by faith because of the fog. And then on Sunday I saw the first signs of sunburn on the meadows and I almost said "well done" to the lobster-looking person. This country sure does keep us on our toes, as you say.

    PS. gorgeous pictures!

    I absolutely adore that picture of Smidgen with one ear raised.

    The weather has been abnormally warm and wonderful here too. I'm hoping that we both have lovely weather still in June!

    Gorgeous photos. And you know we're entering the usual nuclear winter after this faux summer is over, why are you even asking. Silly girl.
