No, it isn't Disneyland. It is a sunny old-fashioned lido nestled amongst the rolling hills of West Yorkshire. When I was little, my brother and I would take every opportunity to get the paddling pool out and spend hours splashing around. As an adult, not much has changed - I still love outdoor swimming! I really love wild swimming, but this lido is just as good. The water is so clear and beautiful!

I have some serious love for bed jackets. Or are they called house coats? Whichever, they're so long and floaty, they make me feel like a fairy and they are a perfect summer layer. They can be hard to wear though. I paired my bed jacket with this Topshop denim top and this charity shop pencil skirt. What do you think?
Mint must be one of my favourite colours for clothes. A couple of summers ago

I am not very good at eating fruit. I always buy it, promising myself that then I will eat it, but I end up snacking on crisps instead! This means that I often find myself with a lot of fruit to use up. This easy fruit pastry is a great way to use up a lot of fruit quickly, and it is SO tasty and summery! You could swap the kiwi and strawberry for bannanas, peaches, mango, whatever you like :)

Recently, I have been making the most of any sunshine that comes my way by putting on my summeriest clothes and installing myself on a blanket in the park. I bought this playsuit from People Tree with a voucher that I was given, and I really love it. It fits me so well, and everything about it makes me think of summer. I can't wait to wear it by the beach when I go on holiday at the end of the month!

When my parents were cleaning out the shed they found these wonderful brown and orange coloured floral curtains. I loved the pattern so much, I figured I had to turn them into something! The heavy curtain material is perfect for a rug :) Although it seems like there are a lot of steps, it was easy to make and could be finished in an evening. Now I just need to find somewhere to put it!
