Summer is by now well established... the days are long and warm, school holidays are here, the cicadas are singing and the markets are overflowing with fresh local produce.
I am going to take a break for the month of July and dedicate the days to spending time with my family, cooking, reading and perhaps going for a trip or two.. in short, replenish my batteries. In August I'll be working on new projects. The shop remains closed during this time and there will be no updates on the blog, which means that I can concentrate on the work (and hopefully finish it) before autumn begins. Orders can be placed again in September, and the blog will come back to life then too.
Wishing you all a very happy and beautiful summer, and looking forward to seeing you again in September! xx
