Summer 2015 is racing along. So far, I’ve survived an early-July London heat wave, the Tube strike, and have just returned from an overnight trip to Bath. It’s such an elegant, livable city, and the feel is what I’d like to capture in our next spot. Big enough for options (and cafes); small enough for quiet. Ideas and suggestions are most welcome.
This week, a dear friend is in London on business but she’s set aside a bit of time for a girlfriends’ catch-up. I’m really looking forward to it, as her insights and advice are always just what I need.
While I ponder the future, but try to stay in the present so as to drink in every minute, here are a few of the Instagram pics that have captured my heart this month:

I’ve only been following you for a short while (thanks, I think, to a heads-up from Lisa at Amid Privilege), but very much enjoying your blog and your Instagram feed. I must say how much I appreciate this generous sharing of favourite Instagram photos — that list represents considerable work to put together, each link, I know, meaning some time-sucking back-and-forth. But how lovely for your reader to get to discover new Instagram feeds — thank you so much! I’m bookmarking this post for sure!
frances: thank you for the kind words! (and a shout-out to lisa/amid privilege is in order as well) i really enjoy sharing my favorite instagram photos. i realize that it’s not fast and easy to work your way through the list, but hopefully, it’s addictive? i must confess that july’s list is longer than usual due to so many lovely options.
happy summer to you in your beautiful part of the world.
