Summer has finally arrived! This whole week is suppose to be 25c+ and I couldn't be happier. It's crazy what the sun can do to my mood and my view of the world. Waking up with the sun streaming through the windows makes me instantly happy!
Since living in the U.K, I have learnt to fall in love with the rain. I now love cuddling up inside with a cup of tea, a warm blanket and a magazine. But when we were getting an unbelievable amount of these days in the middle of summer, I was kind of over them.

Summer here is different to at home. At home, I would wake up early and get down to the beach with friends and family, or lay around by the pool with music and fresh fruit. But since I don't have a car here, it's nearly impossible to get down to a good beach (unless I want to lay on a pebble beach?). So the other option is; the park! We are so lucky we live so close to such a beautiful park in the middle of Cardiff. I wandered around it all afternoon and couldn't believe the prettiness I was seeing.
It was a perfect summer's day. So excited for the rest of this week!
Summer in Cardiff looks really beautiful :)

I happen to know a sandy beach near here!! Anytime you need a fix! It is crazy what a difference the sun makes. The whole nation is happier. You must have witnessed about the worst British summer ever though so it's good you have learned to love the rain! Lou x

Beautiful photos! I prefer warm and sunny weather to cold and rain, but we have a TON of rain in Portland. I like your perspective on learning to fall in love with rain and making the most of it with tea, a blanket and magazine. I am going to try and adopt that positive perspective... thanks :)
ReplyDeleteSummer sounds amazing in the U.K. right now! I've only been able to experience it once when I lived in London for a year when I was little, but these pictures have me aching to go back!
