the fading summer

Aren't these beautiful photos? Check out this wonderful flickr user's photostream for more gorgeous photography.

Summer is well and truly over here now - it's cold, foggy and even a little bit frosty in the mornings, but despite this I'm still trying to resist wearing coats and lighting fires just yet. I usually look forward to Winter - I love wearing baggy jumpers and hats and gloves, I love eating more (I am, by the way, really not one of those girls who is calorie-obsessed or who does not enjoy her food) and I love the open fires and mulled wine of cosy winter evenings. For some reason, though, this year I feel like I want to try and resist the onset of Winter for as long as possible.
In other news, I really should be updating more often, and I will try - things, as ever, are busy at the moment, but I'm aware that I haven't responded to so many of your lovely comments. I do appreciate them all though, and I have a day off on Monday, so I shall try and devote some time to them then :)

And a quick by the way - for those of you who wanted to know how to follow my blog (thank you!)- the easiest way would be, if you're logged into a blogspot account, to click follow at the top of the page, on the left hand side. Alternatively, just enter the web address - http://tea-breaks.blogspot.com - into any following app such as Blogger, Google Reader, RSS feeder, etc, and you should be able to get regular updates of my posts through that. :)
