The summer is fading and September is going to be a busy month. Before I pull up my socks and face it head-on, I’d like to indulge in a little summer nostalgia.
This was the summer…
…I went punting for the first time. How did it take me 31 years to get round to this?
It was the summer of sweet peas. Lots and lots of sweet peas. Either from my garden or my mum’s.
It was the summer I plucked up the courage have my hair cut short again…
…and during which Tom carried a pony everywhere, and lost them just as quickly.
And it was the summer when we finally went to Legoland…
…and that James embraced making sourdough bread.
It was the summer we discovered Melford Hall…
…and a little cousin came to join in the fun for the first time.
It was the summer I finally got some deckchairs…
… and we dog-sat Rosie and fell in love with dogs again.
This summer, we frolicked on Sheringham beach, after arriving in style on the steam train….
…a lovely little playhouse appeared in the garden.
This summer we did our wildest camping yet…
…and got a piano.
It was also the summer that found us back again at a familiar, and very special, part of Pembrokeshire.
What summed up your summer? If you’d like to do your own list, then do link back to me – I’d love to see it!

It looks like you’ve all had a wonderful summer, such lovely memories to look back on! I remember your lovely dogs, do you still have them? I keep meaning to ask! xx
Thanks! Sadly not – we had to find them a new home after one of them bit my son when he was a baby. All very traumatic, but a good few years on I’m finally feeling like I want a dog in my life again x
What a lovely reflection, you’ve really embraced and enjoyed your time. This summer for me has felt like I’ve been waiting for it to begin and then now of all of a sudden it’s gone. So I’m really, really determined to try and embrace the colder months which traditionally I hate. We’ll see how it goes X
Thank you… I’ve always traditionally disliked summer, but I really started loving it lately. I can’t believe how quickly it’s whizzed by – although we’ve had fun, there are so many things I meant to do! x
It looks like you’ve had a great summer, it’s amazing that when you look back there’s just so much – I found myself nodding along thinking oh I remember the deckchairs, and the piano and of course that beautiful playhouse. Thanks for linking up to #SummerWas xx
Thanks Stephanie! It was certainly was a good summer. Even though we had a lot of rain in August, I think the early summer made up for it x
