what’s one item in your summer wardrobe you can’t go without? A hat – as I don’t like sunglasses, I find it’s the best way to stop the sun making me frown. what’s your idea of the perfect summer meal? Cooking on the open fire while camping – food sourced from the local farm shop. Meat grilled, potatoes fried and fresh summer salad with herbs and edible flowers foraged. what is your summer theme song this year? The new albums from Bombay Bicycle Club & Paolo Nutini are on repeat. what are three constants in your day?
- Good food
- Smiles & hugs
- Colour

xanthe, your work is always eye catching, but these are simply stunning.
Xanthe’s works are indeed visually pleasing. Glad to be introduced to her photographic works.
And as for Shari and Sheri, thank you for bringing back This Joy+Ride. I used to follow this space awhile back and honestly, felt sad when it had no upcoming posts. Great comeback, and please keep up with the awesome introductions :)
