As the days get colder and the rain more frequent, I've found myself looking back through photos from the summer. I was lucky to have a very busy few months after finishing my first year of university and had the best time so I thought I'd do a recap of everything I got up to. Festivals I'd never been to a festival before and this year I went to 3! The first was The Isle of Wight Festival which was just amazing and I definitely think it's a festival for everyone to enjoy. We were able to see some amazing artists including Lewis Capaldi, Tom Grennan, The Kooks, Rudimental, Madness, Shaggy and so many more. I did end up burning myself really badly on the first day, despite frequently applying suncream but that was a small price to pay and I've already planned to go again in 2023! I also went to Boomtown which is a different kind of experience music wise but was so good to spend time with my boyfriend - Ryan and our friends. Also, the sets were incredible, and the eff
Earlier in the week my sister and I visited my Grandparents and spent time with them for a bit which is always nice. My Nan is one of those typical Grandparents that always has snacks to offer and the ice creams she gave us were definitely appreciated in the heat!
A few days later we went for an early evening stroll and found ourselves exploring down various footpaths. Most of them led to a lot of trees and overgrown greenery but after following one path for a bit we found such an amazing view. This spot would be absolutely perfect for a picnic as long you don’t mind walking through a lot of long grass, the scenery is definitely worth it though! We also stopped at Costa and I tried the new Golden Caramel Iced Latte - would definitely recommend if you like sweet coffee!
On Sunday we went on a trip to Studland beach and I was so grateful to be able to cool off in the sea! Although I’ve visited beaches a few times, I haven’t had a proper swim in the sea for a while and it was so refreshing. The water was really calm and not too cold either, I’d have spent all day in there if possible just to have a break from the sweltering heat! We then went to Swanage for a bit to eat and it was nice to have an evening stroll along the beach with the sun still very much shining!
While it’s so great to get out and about, I’m really really glad to have such a great garden so I can chill and still enjoy the great weather. I’m actually writing this sat outside at 11:30pm and it’s only just starting to get a little cooler. It’s pretty peaceful and I’ve found it a lot easier to focus on my writing without procrastinating!
Have you been enjoying the recent sun or do you prefer the colder weather? I’d love to know your favourite thing to do over the summer months, I think mine has to be being by the sea!
These pictures look amazing! Really can't wait to get a garden to write from and just enjoy the day! I have been home most of the time during the heatwave and it was no fun! x
