midsummer madness


We decided to celebrate midsummer this year, by making a little den for ourselves in the garden. We strung a sail from the roof of our shed, hung lanterns from poles, prepared our favourite salads, cooked corn, haloumi and sausages on the BBQ, drank beers, relaxed in the comfiest deck chairs and listened to music late into the night. Mr Mouse came to join us, relishing the whole affair (I think he thought we were throwing him a party). When we became weary we retired to our shed, spending the night on the floor with blankets, duvet and cushions, the door ajar and the night breeze on our faces. We had such a fun night - the evening was mild, the moon was huge and the rain came long after we were snuggled in the shed. Did you celebrate? What did you do?

    1. Oh what a shame! I think we were pretty lucky, it poured once we were tucked up in bed and again the following morning.

  3. That sounds ace! We had our tent up in the garden over the weekend and it really made me want to go camping, nothing quite like the sound of rain when you are snug in a tent (or shed - I guess!?).

    1. Nothing beats it! I'm not sure what it is but I do find it so relaxing.
