My current read. It’s taking me a bit to really get into it, but I like it so far

Absolutely GORGEOUS weekend at a friend’s cottage in Orillia, Ontario. I will never tire of these sunsets 💜

Usually I have my morning tea in the biggest mug I can find, but today I decided to brew a pot and have a proper cuppa

A friend was moving years ago and gave me two of her grandmother’s tea cups so here we are 😊

We only have two days left in London, so it’s time for all things British!

English Garden Party Time!

Festivities at Chichley Hall this past weekend for a friend’s fabulous birthday extravaganza 🎉

… and a nod to one of my favourite childhood reads with a walled ‘Secret Garden’ 💚💚

How cool is this?! In the waiting area at the train station in Lille, France, there is a Short Story Dispenser! 📚💕

Had no idea peonies changed colour so much! These were given to me on Wednesday (from an awesome Book Club friend) as a vibrant fuchsia — now there’s barely any pink left

Finished this book yesterday, just in time for a fantastic Book Club evening 📚❤️

This was actually my first time reading Kate Quinn, so I think The Rose Code is now high up on my TBR list

My latest read ❤️

Zipped through this gem from Canadian author Joanna Goodman, with a story set literally down the street from me 😊

My cousin just sent me a picture of my parents and I that I’ve never seen before!

My dad passed away just over a year ago so this is extra nice 🩷

Looks like the woodpile at my Aunt and Uncle’s cottage, circa the summer I turned 12

I was reminded of this post today, from 2020. That 4-yo is now 9 and I still wouldn’t put it past her 😆❤️

My latest read, Hello Beautiful by Ann Napolitano ❤️

What a gorgeous read. Character arcs spanning decades with multiple POVs. One of those books you’re sad to finish because you want to keep spending time with those characters. Now I miss them all!

Christmas vacation and back home to Winter Wonderland in the space of a week. What a world we live in!

The #lambchop dog toy is all the rage, so we bought our sweet, sweet puppy (Winnie) a Lambchop.

This is 5 minutes later.

Squeakers extricated, body demolished 💀 😵
