Well, I think it may have finally happened. Summer! Day after gloomy day of hail, rain, wind (wettest April ever! Coldest spring since records began!) has finally given way to sun and warmth -- for a few days, anyway. My step-daughter is visiting and tonight we're heading to the South Bank to soak up the rays.
I know this blog has been a little thin on content lately (party shoes, lobster costumes and such), but hey. You don't really want to hear about me removing the millionth 'just' or eye-roll from the zillionth draft of my latest epic, do you?
I thought not. So, instead...

Is it summer in your parts yet? (Your 'neck of the woods parts', not your other bits, ha!). See you all Friday!
Heck, how I wish I could be there with you! My memories on London are the fondest. It's summer here, too, but it's not as nice as a summer day in London. x
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous! It all looks beautiful. It's still decidedly spring here, what with the gloominess and the rain. Hoping for sunshine and flowers soon...
ReplyDeleteI hate to ask this, but is that a pickle and a chunk of pineapple in the drink? I might barf. : )~
ReplyDeleteAmy, hehe! It's a cucumber and lemon wedges. I know it sounds funny, but it works. Really! I don't joke about alcohol.
DeleteThe sun is blazing in Manchster. Wow, never thought I'd ever get to type that.
ReplyDeleteLucky! It's still cool/cold here, and summer has yet to show up. Very pretty pics!
ReplyDeleteBtw, the word 'just' always gets me! I had like, fifty million of those in my first draft...
Thanks for the clarification on that. Its been very summer-ish here and we are watching all the green turn to brown as the next rains won;t be for five or six month. Enjoy your summer!
ReplyDeleteThose pictures are lovely! Have fun enjoying the sunshine, Talli. It's summery here in Philadelphia, too, and I love it!
ReplyDeleteTrue Summery snaps, Talli. Loving this weather. At last! And I may even indulge in a "small" Pimms now I've seen your mouth-watering photo. Enjoy your evening on the South Bank x x
ReplyDeleteNot very summery here yet in South-Central BC, though spring is making a valiant effort (the last couple days it's been losing the battle).
ReplyDeleteKensington Palace- ooooh...
Those photos are fab! It's gorgeous down here in Devon too - I am not getting a whole lot of work done at the moment!
ReplyDeleteI've been living in the UK on and off for the last 10 years and I still haven't had a Pimm!
ReplyDeleteIt's currently about 26 degrees here and I've just been out for a pub lunch… so yes, definitely summer! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's always summer here in Florida.... almost 90 today, but beautiful ... the humidity hasn't hit yet.
ReplyDeleteHi, Sweets! It's been forever. I hope to be around more often. I am taking my blogging life back. I have missed all of you. My schedule is slowing a bit. I've been working on a major design project, which hopefully will be complete within the next three weeks. EEEK! I so want to go home. LOL.
Looks like all is well in your world. LOVE your facebook pic ... you look oh so sexy!
I absolutely adore these posts--I love feeling like I get to visit London when I visit your blog! It's been summer here for a while, already up in the 90 degree temperatures. This summer's going to be brutal.
ReplyDeleteLovely Talli!!! It's so bikini weather and I want my pimms and lemonade too!! Yay for summer - finally!!! Take care

Lovely photos. Here in San Antonio we have spring, almost summer, and summer. We're distinctly in Almost Summer now.
ReplyDeleteI always love the pretty pictures in your blog :)
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful time. Enjoy the early summer!
ReplyDeleteI don't mind glimpses of London! And we've had summer for a while now. Stupid humidity.
ReplyDeleteIt's summer here in the Ottawa Valley.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos, Talli. I was wondering, incidentally, what you thought of that distorted tower they've put up in London....
Lovely pics Talli. The sun is shining here in Ieland too. I am heading to England soon so let's hope it lasts till we get there. I'm moving a lot of commas around myself at the moment, know the feeling:)
ReplyDeleteIs that pineapple in your drink?
ReplyDeleteWe are getting the 90 degree weather here now.
Send some summer overseas to Oregon! It's overcast here today and rained yesterday. :) Enjoyed your photos. Have fun removing those "justs" and eye rolls! haha
ReplyDeleteTalli, you could post about eye-rolling, cupcakes, the hot construction workers across the street, your husband's feet-- anything at all-- and it would be interesting!
ReplyDeleteI reconised all tose places which brought back fond memories.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
Yay summer! We just got there this week, which of course means heavy thunderstorms. Sigh
ReplyDeleteWe are still having spring but its been nice so I'm not complaining. There is nothing quite like London though, on a sunny day. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pics. I love pickles, even in drinks. :)
ReplyDeleteBeen bit rainy here but I sense that summer is about burst out in all its color, scent and bloomy wonderfulness.
Oh yes, summer has arrived here in north central KY, US! Always love seeing your photos. Thanks for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I'd love to visit on such a gorgeous day! Here in the states, Houston is heating up. Our nintey degree weather has arrived... spring has gone, summer has arrived and it plans on sticking around until October!
ReplyDeleteGreat pics! We've got a couple of hot days coming up too! Tomorrow the humidity says it's going to hit - boo!
ReplyDeleteLots of fun stuff! Have fun at the beach.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's been sunny and warm lately--not quite summer yet, but close.
Beautiful photos, Talli! Thanks for sharing, can I come and spend summer in London with you?
ReplyDeleteNas
How purdee!!! The image that comes to mind when I think of summer here is a sizzling blacktop with heat waves rising up from it. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely pics Talli. Here in Australia we are heading towards winter. Tho I can't complain we have had a few weeks now of lovely sunny autumn days. Enjoy your sunshine :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures of lovely London! It's starting to get quite warm in my neck of the woods. Enjoy the sunshine! :)
ReplyDeleteThe water is amazingly calm in Little Venice showing a perfect reflection. How lovely!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures. They make me want to be in Europe now. It's been raining like crazy where I am.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely photos, I can almost imagine being there :-)
ReplyDeleteHere at the bottom of the world we have been plunged into winter over the last few weeks. It's not so bad here in Auckland, but there are frosts and snow over a lot of the country. At least it give hubby and I an excuse to snuggle in front of the fire!
Haha indeed...that reminds me of a conversation Chris and I had about me cycling with a short skirt on! Yes, it is finally sunny here *squee* so I have rushed out and bought some painted on 50s style Capri trousers *love them SO much*. Makes me feel young again :)
ReplyDeleteFabulous photos! The weather has been beautiful here, but we're headed for a heat wave. Have fun with your step-daughter! Julie
ReplyDeleteWe had one hot day - Shropshire - now cloud again, maybe it will burn off later. Still, it will keep my working on the editing! Mixed blessing!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your time with your step-daughter, Talli. Summer has finally arrived here in the west coast of Scotland but we're so unused to it that I can only stand the heat for a very short while!
ReplyDeleteAwesome pics and looks like so much fun! Glad it is warming up there...we have been enjoying some beautiful weather here. Have a blast!
ReplyDeletefun pictures..everyone!! have fun with your daughter in law...the weather is beautiful here in central Pa.
