Good morning early birds! Yesterday’s post proved I cannot be relied upon to always know what day of the week it is, but I can always be relied on for a cheery start to the day, so a warm welcome to-checks diary-Friday! Wake up & smell the lavender (the only thing thriving in my garden right now!)

Good morning, lovely people! It’s Friday! It’s summertime! What’s not to love? Have a rip-roaring day!

Good morning Blue Sky friends! Awoke to gentle warmth and a view of the tree outside my window in full and friendly leaf! After weeks away, it’s great to be home! Wishing you a day of achievable upsides!

The World Cup is over…and so, soon, is my holiday! The last precious day today! Thank you Menorca, you’ve been as beautiful as ever

Good morning, sweet early birds! As a city gal I always feel it’s such a privilege to be able to watch the sun rise! I feel I should be thinking Big & Important Things…but it’s still a little early for that! A simply lovely Sunday to you, wherever you are!

Good morning beautiful people! Wishing you a kindly and happy day!

Any holiday I take always features at least as much reading as anything else! The particular joy of this one has not only been the rereading of the wonderful #CazaletChronicles, but also #TheGoldenHour, a brand new addition to the series by #LouisaYoung, a huge undertaking which was a heavenly treat

Good morning, Blue Sky people! Wishing you a day to look back on with a smile!

Morning! Wishing you the best and most wonderful Wednesday!

Good morning Blue Sky early birds! I came across this abundant and fragrant figgy friend yesterday! Happy (not awfully) #thicktrunktuesday!

Good morning! I haven’t been much of an early bird for several days now! Too many super-late nights staying up watching the World Cup, which has (largely) been a joy…and I hope that that’s what this brand new week is for you too!

Good morning, sweet early birds! I hope your day unfolds like a beautiful secret!

Good morning Blue Sky friends! A happy and hopeful Friday to you!

A day at the beach

A new day dawns over the harbour! Hope you have a brilliant one!

Happy, hopeful, peaceful July 4 to kind hearted independent souls everywhere!

Good morning Blue Sky!

Good morning, dearest early birds! I hope your day leads you somewhere beautiful

Suddenly, it’s July! Good morning and welcome to high summer!

Last night’s dreamy moon over Mahon harbour from our balcony

Awake to the news that #PenelopeKeith has died. RIP goddess

Hanging out in a place of peaceful beauty

Good morning early birds! Anyone up for a cuppa? Have a splendid new week!

Lunch in a delightful, sun-dappled terrace!

Good morning early birds & welcome to (checks calendar) the weekend, wherever you are, whatever you’re doing, whatever the weather!

Hoopoe o’clock!

Good morning! Wishing you a refreshingly lovely day!

Good morning lovely people! I hope your day unfolds exquisitely!

Good morning, lovely early birds! I have the privilege of watching the sun rise while I’m here: the day’s as yet a blank page, full of potential and so exciting! Wishing you the best start, middle and end to your day!

Good morning! An interesting start to the day with no internet for a few hours! Disconcerting exactly how disconcerting it was, but I noted my discomfort & spent the time staring at the sea, reading, doing yoga and trying not to be too obviously excited when our connection returned. Modern life, eh?
