I haven’t been around much this summer because, well it was summer. An all too fleeting time where so much happened that it was hard to keep track of the days and separate one from another. Most of it was spent at our new (vintage) caravan on the beach, some of it tossing fresh ingredients together to make the most of the abundant produce and the rest celebrating birthdays heaped one upon the other this time of the year.

I thought, rather than give you a long winded run down, I would choose my favourite photos to share with you our summer holiday before getting on with the business of 2013 proper.

Christmas was full of wonder, mulled wine and witchcraft as Lady Moss busied herself crafting those final little gifts.

We almost couldn’t wait to dip our toes in the water and ride the current in our almost private oasis.

The sun kissed The Littles while mamas looked and clicked on

We enjoyed an over abundance of the good things in life.

And try to hold onto the feeling as we drift ever so slowly into Autumn.

Note: The much viewed photos of The Littles were taken on the South Coast by the ever so talented Lady Smith of Smith and Jules.
