    Yay for you Eliza enjoy! It’s actually quite beautiful here in winter, we can still walk along the beach and feel warm sun. 🌈☀️🌈💚

    I think the Seagull is thinking…”oh, joy” I’m going to have some yummy ‘beach goers sandwiches!’

    Happy Summer Solstice to you, Eliza. We’ve just had a glorious sunny, (but cold), week here in Melbourne, Australia, but July is often our coldest winter month and August I alway think has the best snow skiing up in the alpine regions of the state.

    I don’t mind the cold, but I hate the strong winds that turn heavy rain into a soaking and also turn umbrellas inside out.

    Oh, it’s summer alright. Upper 90’s with heat indexes into the 100’s. Ugh. That’s about 36 degrees Celsius! I’m definitely more or a British weather kind of gal. Happy summer!

    Happy summer Eliza! Did you get to visit the beach?

      Thank you, Cathy. No, we never made it to the beach last summer, sadly. It’s become too much for a day trip and staying overnight can be expensive. Then there’s the pets at home, too. I did make to Maine by myself for a few days, which was lovely. I wish the ocean was a bit closer!

        It’s a long way for us too. My visit to the sea last autumn will have to keep me going for a couple of years! 🙂

    And that summer is very welcome in its arrival this year! Not that you would know from my blog, which seems to be winter-y this week (I blame myself for scheduling all those posts a couple months ago).

    “What are those humans doing in my photo shoot? Alvin? Alvin, where are you? I thought you said this was a private beach? I’m not moving a feather until they’re gone … Oh, it’s so hard to get good help these days!”

    That is a happy sweet photo! I miss the celebrations in Sweden. Midsommar (summer solstice) is the second biggest holiday of the year there. Lots of good food with friends and family, usually at an island, by a lake, or in the forest somewhere. Enjoy your weekend 🙂
