Weβre halfway through the week - hang in there! β€οΈ
Iβm looking at the weather this morning trying to read its face - wet, cold, a chance of sunshine? Iβm quite perplexed as to what to don.
Just a few final moments in the armchair with a cup of coffee, the morning light, and Raffi softly snoring nearby before I confront whatever the world of work has for me this week.
This dress is just crying out for a dance floor upon which to twirl. The pleats, fluted edges and tiers of fabric are bluebell like, a disco belle blooming on a summerβs evening. John Bates for Jean Varon, 1973 #FashionMuseumBath #FashionHistory ποΈπͺ‘
Woke this morning after a splendid nightβs sleep entirely convinced I was still on holiday. It took a full five minutes, one cup of tea, and the sight of a tie draped over a chair before the dreadful truth emerged: it is, in fact, a school day.π³

Today would have marked thirty-two years of marriage. I shall spend the day quietly, in reflection and in the company of family - grateful for love, memory, and the blessing of having shared so many beautiful years together. π·
Half term already feels like a brief misunderstanding with the sun. Today itβs back to grey skies, sensible shoes, and wondering why I ever trusted British summertime.π
