This was so fun to read! Thank you for sharing your summer highlights! I’m also watching the Lincoln Lawyer at the minute and loving it! I read God and the Gay Christian - it’s a fantastic book that really got me thinking and I’ve recommended it to friends. Keep writing, Natalie!

Yayyy!!! 🎉💖 Welcome to Substack, dear friend!! And yes to “Life rushes by, and noticing what brings us joy is important”. 🙏🏻 Loved reading about your midsummer (HOW?!) favourites and what makes summer for you - and that you included all the senses, like the scent of sun cream. For me, the fragrance of certain flowers, such as azaleas, is so evocative and takes me back to my London childhood summers. This year, we’re really enjoying bursts of brighter colours, planted as bulbs back in our little garden in the spring, including a single, crazy-bold magenta dahlia, which we call the “show off”! 🌺🌞
