you can’t take anything for granted these days, not even 5 minutes of sunshine. maybe it’s the trying to grow basil seedlings for the first time but i’m noticing more than other years that summer in london is really like watching a long film in a tinted glass steam room. waiting for the pimms punctuations, smiling in a sort of stupefaction, you imagine one day you’ll be able to blog about the beauty of seeing colorful clothes hanging on lines… Read More
