In the middle of Winter there are days when it is easier to believe in unicorns than in Summer.
Stricken by icy temperatures and a constant unsatisfactory ‘dandruff’
of snow (as Annabel put it), we have had
to exercise our faith and our imagination.
I put together a necklace from some butterflies which I had
enamelled in bright colours. There WILL
come some sunny day when I can wear it above a strappy top.
Nigel has been filtering his elderberry wine. One day it WILL be one of the ingredients of
a ruby-coloured sangria on a warm summer’s evening in the garden.
I guess these things we have made are little pledges to
ourselves, signs that we are trying to believe in Summer.
There's a promise of summer on your kitchen wall! Love it.
