Perfection often feels out of reach. But however imperfect you’re finding life, you can make an effort to find #OnePerfectThing. Something which makes you pause, smile and feel thankful.
So, farewell June. You seem to be over almost before you’ve begun. This month has been unusually tumultuous for those of us in the UK. The weather has matched the mood. Endless rain and a cold, nasty wind lashing our faces.
But there has been some sunshine, and its rarity has only made it more joyful. I’ve been buoyed up by how many of you have embraced the idea of #OnePerfectThing on Instagram. It’s all about looking beyond the cares of everyday and talking the time to capture a small moment of perfection. Raindrops on roses, a ray of sunshine after the rain…the little things that keep us sane.
Here are some of my favourite pictures from Instagram this month…

My absolute favourite from the gems above has to be the photo from @lindyann38 – a bunch of flowers gathered from her rain-soaked garden. It really sums up #OnePerfectThing.
Thanks again to everyone who joined in during June, I’m looking forward to seeing what July brings!

I have to be honest and say that I really don’t think I’m going to miss June at all for all of the reasons you’ve mentioned above. Still, at least things can only get better (fingers crossed!)
Beautiful captures from your hashtag, I must start joining in X
