What a fabulous summer it has been and so much worth celebrating. The start of the summer was filled with the excitement of the Olympics and we were very lucky to have the road cycle racing and time trials come virtually past the door. Like so many others we were out waving the flag and glued to the TV, feeling proud to be British and thrilled that 'we' pulled off the whole event so well! And this week another excuse to keep checking the TV as the Paralympics take place.
We've had lots of reasons to celebrate in this house too. We've been to two beautiful weddings giving us the opportunity to dress up in our hats and heels and reunite with family and friends. My eldest son turned sixteen and passed his GCSEs so a big sigh of relief all round! We've had another fun photo shoot with Vicki Knights Photography and I look forward to sharing the results with you over the next couple of weeks.
And in amongst all of this, we've been busy with some lovely homely activities that we never seem to have time for during the busy school term time: Baking, blackberry picking, sewing, walking the dog together.
I've always loved baking with the children. It keeps them busy and there's always a yummy treat at the end. (My teenagers are only interested in the yummy part now) All this rain over the summer has meant plenty of baking opportunities though! One baking session on a grey afternoon was the perfect opportunity to test out our lovely aprons too. 
We always have some lovely vintage style aprons on the site and this ruffly one is gorgeous! You can view it here. It also comes in orange or green.
I hope you all enjoy the last few days of the holidays. They have come round far too quickly for me.
