Not as hot today as yesterday, thank goodness! Visited Castle Rock and lay about in the sun, occasionally getting up to splash about in the cool turquoise waters. Ah, but this is the life.
Today I dressed as inspired by the shrub outside our kitchen window; it has gorgeous iridescent purple flowers in spring/summer, followed by bright orange berries in the autumn; the berries often inspire people to rip these bushes out of their gardens as they’re a bit messy. I have to confess the purple cardigan has been on and off intermittently all day, as its really too hot for it in the sun, but I like the way it complements the green in my outfit, so dragged it around with me anyway! Oh, suffering for the sake of fashion is tres tragique, no?
