Summer plans
Thursday, June 23, 2016
I'm planning to continue savouring every moment, come rain or shine.
The season has offered some highlights already which have been a delight so I'll first strike off a few that we've already encountered. Inevitably, there are a few crossovers with my spring goals list.
Done
- The wardrobe swap - This year I laundered most of my summer clothes before cramming them in the wardrobe. I really need to get my wardrobe refined so that I get rid of things I no longer want to wear...
- Get up to see the sun rise on the Solstice - We got up, but the sun didn't. A cloudy morning but with a warm breeze (delightfully empty)
In action
- Planting out at the allotment - We grew so many plants from seed in the greenhouse and all but 5 are planted out (they're too small and fragile).
- Tending the allotment - It's a constant work in progress but we're ploughing on
- Cook with our allotment produce or give it away - we're about to start with the bulk of the harvesting time soon so I need to remain vigilant on using it or giving it away.
- Taking evening strolls - There have been so many beautiful evenings already we've taken a walk. There's nothing stopping you.
- Cutting flowers and bringing them inside - yes, I've done this often and it's been so uplifting. I'm searching out more vessels to store them in.
To do
- Press flowers - I have a little flower press and I'd love to get a few pressing, to see what I can manage. They would make for beautiful decorations.
- Have a proper picnic with my hamper - This is a MUST DO. There's nothing more enjoyable than a simple picnic on the grass in the summer.
- Start my journal - I want to document my flower growing journal by hand. I have a book and pens.... I just need to make a start.
- A trip to the seaside - This is a must do and hopefully it will be a hot day.
- Latitude festival - We have tickets so we just need to turn up!
- Take a holiday - Or at least book one.
- Stay up til dawn - Maybe.

All your plans , future and achieved, sound fantastic! I love the flower journal idea. My mum keeps telling me to make a garden journal documenting all I do. Definitely a great idea!!!Xx
ReplyDeleteWe can stay up til dawn at Latitude ;-) (and then sleep til noon!)
ReplyDeleteA good list, I'm just about to post mine...
That first shot is great.
ReplyDeleteAhh, my flowers are starting to bloom at the allotment so I'm looking forward to having a vase full of flowers I've cut from what I've grown - so glad I decided to give a little space over to that this year.
ReplyDeleteI love to hear your comments xx
