Loving the lush weather!! Gotta say, England, you are giving us a good summer this year!! Well, at least in my area, so far we have had so many warm sunny days, compared to usual when we often have a heatwave around Easter and then nothing until a few days in September! But it was gorgeous this weekend especially. My boyfriend and I went to visit a couple of my wonderful friends in Kent, spending an afternoon having a picnic on the beach, mooching in all the pretty shops selling jewellery and ocean themed gifts, and eating icecream at the harbour. In the warm evening air we had a delicious bbq in their beautiful garden with slow roasted lamb, greek salad, wine, cold beer, and lots of laughs, and a lovely walk by the coast on Sunday as the white boat sails drifted along in the blue tranquil water. Awesome ♥

We booked a holiday too, at the end of September, to Turkey for a week! We are staying near a gorgeous beach and lagoon with amazing views, which you can go paragliding over, with ghost towns and ruins nearby, and both busier & quieter, traditional towns just a bus ride away. SO good to get a holiday in the diary, as we didn’t have one last year. I bought the bikini I liked in the sale as well; £60 down to £20 – don’t you love it when that happens – it was meant to be! 😛

I’ve been enjoying being able to get into a better fitness routine for the last month or so, I was so busy before with my massage course, exams and loads of travelling, I didn’t get much time for anything. I’ve been especially loving going for my swims, it is so refreshing and relaxing getting into that pool! Have also been running again, once a week (not my favourite thing, but if only once a week, when I feel like it, I can actually enjoy it and run a lot better) and the fields around my house are full of tall plants, fluffy dandelions and long grasses that look gorgeous illuminted in the warm evening sunlight. And tonight I’m starting a new yoga class which I’m looking forward to. I keep buying giant bags full of fruit from the local market too, which always feels really summery. My blender broke though so I can’t make smoothies. Think I might buy a juicer. Anyway…. 🙂

These portraits are from a shoot I had when I went to Cambridge for a few days, and worked with the lovely Pierus again, this time out on location in the beautiful weather. I have more to post from this shoot soon, so many good ones!

Enjoy the sunshine 🙂
