The sun has finally come out to play this week - and what a glorious week we've had!
I thought we'd enjoy a pictorial journey through summer so far...
 |
| I finally finished Ellie's handwarmers that I started ages ago. Love the wool - hoping to make socks out of the rest (if I can remember where I put the ball of wool when I was done!) |
 |
| Matt, Julia and Lily Sides (such a perfect triangle) came home to visit from Japan; Zahrina came home to visit from India - it was lovely to have some of the girls over for lunch to meet Lily and visit with old friends. |
 |
| An AWESOME combination - homemade lemon curd (which I made at the beginning of the summer, with lemons from our tree - it was a bit runnier than it should have been, but still yummy) and long overdue sultana scones. They turned out perfectly... together, such a lovely pairing of my culinary awesomeness. |
 |
| Mum, Rebecca, Fiona and myself out for a leisurely lunch at Masala in Mission Bay. Yummy in my tummy! |
 |
| Homemade tomato chutney - made on a drizzly day with tomatoes from our garden. All the recipes I could find were for large amounts, so I made this half portion. The recipe is on my new food and garden blog, found here. |

 |
| A stunning sunset out of the upstairs hallway window. Red sky at night, sailor's delight. |
 |
| And the following day was indeed stunning, so we legged it to the beach. |
 |
| A small (tiny) sampling of the beans from our garden. I picked two full metal bowls of beans today. They are now safely blanched, dried and frozen for future consumption. |

I really do love summer holidays! Two more weeks of this fabulousness - bring it on!

Oh it sounds like you are having a lovely summer holiday. We have not had great weather this summer, I haven't even been swimming yet, I would love a beach day.
This week has really been lovely - my mood has lifted immeasurably as a result! :) The first couple of weeks were awful though, but at least I didn't feel bad sleeping in! I'm sure your beach day will come - it's got to!
that lily is locely and the red setting sun in divine! happy summer!
Thanks Faiza! The sunset was stunning - I just couldn't stop staring at it and taking pictures!
gorgeous sunset! so jealous of all the sun and warmth you're enjoying!
Sending some sunshine, your way Sheba! Just think - in 6 months, when you're enjoying an ice cream on a sunny New York Sunday, it'll be pretty wet, windy and cold here! (No, not -17, but it won't be very nice.) So then I will be jealous of you. :)
