It feels like today marks the unofficial end of summer… which feels slightly strange after spending most of it complaining about the 40-degree heat. 😂☀️

Looking back though, it’s been a pretty special one.

My youngest finally joining his big brother at school (a huge, slightly emotional landmark moment.) Beach days and ridiculously fresh, delicious food on the Isle of Wight. Family time up North, exploring the beautiful Northumberland coastline and even spotting dolphins 🐬. Woodland walks, den building and kids disappearing into the trees for hours.

We scattered Dad’s ashes at his favourite lake spot on his birthday, with my siblings — one of those moments that was both incredibly sad and incredibly special.

There were endless BBQs with friends, country breaks, reunions with old friends, far too many late-night garden chats (often because it was simply too hot to go inside!), and somehow finding time to create a new salmon roulade/dip/recipe obsession along the way. 😂

I’ve squeezed in as much contrast therapy as possible, spent a lot more time swimming and finally feel like I’m getting somewhere with my front crawl. 🏊‍♀️

And in between it all, we’ve been testing out a Range Rover vs Defender… and I’m officially stuck. 👀 If you’ve had either, which one would you choose?

A summer of big milestones, little moments, good food, family, friends, grief, laughter, fresh air, cold plunges, long chats and a lot of memories made.

And after all that complaining about the heat… I’m actually a little sad to see you go. ❤️

But then again… autumn is in my DNA. 🍂 I’m a Libra after all. ⚖️✨

So, September… I’m ready!
