"Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date".
-Shakespeare
Anyone who has spent the Summer in England will go away thinking this is the most beautiful country on the planet. Summer turns England into a gorgeous cornucopia of colours - forests turn lush green, meadows bloom with wild flowers, fruit trees burst into flower to entice bees, wisteria blooms over doors and the brilliant blue skies form the perfect backdrop to all this prettiness. Yes pretty, for I am sure the word pretty was invented to describe England in Summer.
You can see I am smitten, and to add to that, this weekend has been endlessly sunny and warm. The kind of lazy summer days when you want to make a big pitcher of lemonade, call some friends over for a bar-be-que and while away the day in the garden under the shade of a big tree. Here are some gorgeous design ideas for just such days. So that you can spruce up your home in time for those summer gatherings.
Wish you all a lovely happy Summer!
