My Favourite Ways To Celebrate Summer

-  Make elderflower champagne
-  Go barefoot
-  Throw a tea party
-  Pick bilberries
-  Watch Wimbledon on the telly
-  Swing in a hammock (this one is sort of theoretical ‘cause I’ve only ever swung in a hammock twice in my entire life!)
-  Have a picnic
-  Lie in the grass, listening to the drone of lazy aeroplanes overhead
-  Put up summer bunting
-  Listen to Test Match Special on the radio (we’re talking cricket)
-  Go to an outdoor concert
-  Eat bowl after bowl of apricots and cherries and nectarines and berries

GORGEOUS portrait of elderflowers, Helen... mmm... nothing like elderflower champagne or cordial in summer! Wish I wasn't so far--I'd love to share a cuppa with you. I'll be watching Wimbledon too (I was thrilled Rafael Nadal scored the French Open and look forward to seeing him press on to Wimbledon... though I shouldn't have favorites. ;o) We'll be listening to the Prom all summer, hubby & I both love this highlight of the classical music year. And currently eating so many strawberries it's a surprise I've not turned red yet! HAPPY SUMMER DAYS ((HUGS))

LOL! I almost included the Proms in the list. It's just that my favourite - of course - is the Last Night....and since that doesn't roll round until September or so, I always associate it with autumn rather than summer. But, yes, there'll be promming here all summer long, too... :)
