The nights are coming in!
Its starting to feel official, summer might just be over! If not now, well then its just around the corner! Twenty past eight and the skies turn to a dark shade of blue. The glistening stars come out to twinkle above us.
I sit snug in bed, poppy curled up by my side, a movie making a slight comforting noise in the background and my laptop on my lap! I think back to the summer of 2010! I feel like I haven't had a summer at all. The winters always feel endless but the summers seem to slip away so quickly I hardly get the chance to put on my gorgeous holiday outfits! That said, I always find things to appreciate about every season. So this is my summer season blog post and here are the reasons I loved summer this year:
There is nothing quite like having your skin bare to the fresh air and glowing sun. Beautiful outfits in miniature form so to feel the slight chance of a breeze on your skin as it cools you in the beautiful light of a summers day! The light is outstanding. Summer evenings are my favourite times of the whole year. The light turns to a warm orange glow and everything looks peace full, warm and relaxed! The air cools and I come alive for the first time in the day. I venture out with my pup and appreciate all the natural beauty around me. The world really can be just perfect!
The birds that sing, the children that play, the dogs that throw themselves in the nearest pool of water, the laughter, the bustle of people venturing out semi naked, the life that dances under the summer sun! It's so beautiful, you just don't want it to end. As the first butterflies come out to display their beautiful newly formed wings and the birds that perch on the rooftops singing their songs of joy, we all come alive! We crawl out of our previous winter in hibernation with smiles upon our faces ready for the adventures of the summer ahead. It's bliss full.
After a day in the golden rays of the sun, I go home. My face red and glowing, a steady and satisfied pace as i walk to the front door, dog lead in one hand, blanket in the other and a bag hanging from my shoulder with my life inside it. I release poppy from her corset like leash and we throw ourselves on to my cool fresh bed. lieing their snuggled and happy with our day of fun. A long walk on the moors leaves my feet aching. I stretch out my legs and feel my bones crack and muscles tense then relax. aahh! relax. Summer is a time where you earn those calm moments.
A crispy leaf salad for dinner with newly discovered toasted goats cheese and beetroot. A meal from a friend. whose other offerings include barbeque's in the unexpected rain, adventures to the Cornish sea and hours conversing.
New friends are made in the summer. I made quite a few this year. When the sun is shining we are like ants through a magnifying glass, as we run around the world, travelling and exploring, bumping into each other along the way and making new friendships. Old friends are not forgotten, as their is always time to spare in the summer to make those trips for special friends. My all time best friend and soul sister made her journey down to me this year. It was the highlight of my year. When she was here it was perfection, when she left I felt saddened but carried with me through the rest of the summer days, the greatness we shared while I was privileged to have her company around me.
My family are always close, but in the summer its just another excuse to spend even more time together. With the fresh bud of life that is my niece, the day trips are twice the fun! As we watch her blossom and grow, learning new things and endless moments where she brings laughter and smiles to our faces. New places to visit, and old places to revisit that have become our favourites.
Moments captured on film with my boyfriend. Times have been tough, but we have been through the storm and now stand together, hand in hand in the warming summer glow. Driving around in his car, music on, feet up on the dashboard and the wind that blows through the open windows that makes my hair dance and my heart flutter as I see his smiling face looking into my eyes.
Now I prepare for the leaves that are soon to turn from a shade of green to a glowing orange. The sludging mud beneath my feet after nights of rain. the slugs and frogs that emerge ready for their season of joy! The chimneys that smoke as a sign to us all ''autumn is here, be warm, be still!''. It will soon be time for sheep's to grow their winter coats and for the people to be warmed by their Woolly jumpers!

In memory of September the 11th
9/11. It happened once. 9 years ago two planes crashed into the twin towers in New York. Do you remember when this happened? Of course you do! How can you forget. You probably remember the day exactly, where you were and what you were doing the moment you found out the shocking news.
Every year since you can count on watching horrifying footage of the tragic event unfolding before your very eyes. The 11th of september has rightly become another day of commemoration just like D-day and . But, can you imagine a time where there were no videos, no cameras, nothing to capture such heart breaking events that are made visible to the world for the rest of eternity. Just news that reaches out amongst the world and a memory that fades away leaving only a name of a day in its place and a story to be told of what happend. Would we cry like we do when we watch 9/11 on the television if we never actually saw America, had the choice to go over there on frequent holidays and business trips. Would we stand and watch, with our eyes peeled and hearts beating so fast as we gasp in horror for the city of New York thats so in reach with just a plane ride away it feels like our neighbour. Or is it just the sheer shock of what human beings can do to one another that gets us the most? To be able to visibly see such inhumane cruelty unfold before our very eyes, and its real! Its not a book or a myth some one has made up, its not a horror film thats been created in glamorous hollywood, its as real as the earth benieth your feet and each breath that you draw! Is this the sadness we feel? How so many of us are born with our hearts reaching out to one another only to be crushed when we realise there are people amongst us who are out to do us harm. How politics and religion have created wars. Politics and religion! The two things that the majority have been raised to believe are things we should follow, things we should believe in, things we should support, things that are good! What a confusing and disgusting mess this leaves when you come into your adult hood and discover politics and religion create the most ugly scenes on earth!
The images are stapled in our minds, as the towers come crashing down, the debre that floats around the city and the people running around screaming for their lives and loved ones. In shock! The city of new york, was on that day, in a state of complete madness! We have created this. Us humans. We force our children to believe in things like religion that eventually tare them apart as grown people. We guide our children on a path of politics that we think will make them grow into strong adults. We tell them whose good and whose bad. But on a day like the 11th of september everyone is left to make up their own mind! On a day like 9/11 you can make up your own mind. After we have all witnessed this event through our television screens you can decide for your self what you think of religion, what you think of the people ruling our country, what you think of politics.
