that sweet slow summer feeling is here.
freinds arriving back in town to relax and share stories
long evenings, light till after nine
(perfect for walking on the beach with a new lover)
stone fruit ~ fragrant nectarines, but still not a patch on the ones i ate as a child.
talk of day trips to only-in-summer destinations
the anticipation of long days on a sunny veranda
gin and tonic
squinting
strawberries and cold fruit juice
