{Stop and smell the roses, RHS Wisley was beautiful last weekend}

Hello :) I like these posts as I never schedule them and feel like I can just ramble away. Bit of a scorcher this week, and suddenly the gardens have burst into bloom - peonies and the most heavenly scented David Austin roses all looking very pretty. The days this week have all blurred into one although I did go out for a lovely girls dinner. I partly write this Friday series as a photo appreciation for life's little things that make me happy. It's become like a ritual now to capture and record some of the week's highlights on here. This weekend, we're making pizzas tonight {see this post}, going for a sushi lunch date tomorrow in Berkhamsted and a rummage through some of the old antiques shops, it's my friend's Birthday tomorrow night then tea and cake at my Sister in Law's for her birthday on Sunday. Other than that the regular allotment stuff - we've got lots of strawberries to pick right now! And the countdown is on for Croatia, this time next week I'll hopefully be all packed. Have a lovely weekend, R <3 xx {ps next week some photos from a summery Oxford amongst other posts although as I said before I'm cutting down on posting during the summer so as not to be chained to my laptop!}.

{Strawberry, cucumber and mint cooler with the cutest straws}

{Another weekend, another picnic. I don't think I'll ever get bored of eating yummy food on the grass somewhere pretty}

{The Garden is looking a bit wild in places but I like it, especially with the foxgloves around our signpost}

{Took the pup swimming with my friend and her pup on Monday morning, he's part dog part seal}

{Summery afternoons = outdoor office. Well, more sunbathing than working but still...}

{Evening walks to make the most of these gorgeous evenings. They often involve a stop at the allotment for watering and picking}

{All looking very rosy. I'm definitely a summer over winter girl}

{Pretty pastel ice cream like David Austin roses from the garden, they smell even better than they look}
