It's the first day of our week of celebrating Midsummer / Litha / Summer Solstice. We've got a few nice things planned, as always, including quite a bit of stuff outside. Today's weather was... interesting, but that ended up being amazing in an unexpected way.
Solstice Hair Studio
I wouldn't normally count going for a haircut as a seasonal celebration, but since my hairdresser has named her salon Solstice Hair Studio, I think I can count it!
Coffee with a Friend
I met up with my friend Christopher Monk (of Monk's Modern Medieval Cuisine) today at Roma in Whitefield. We had a good catch-up and a chat about a possible event later in the year. Plus... coffee and cannoli (and some cannoli to take home for Rob)!
Walk on Saddleworth Moor
Rob and I decided to return to our favourite path across Saddleworth Moor for the first night of our celebrations. We love going back here at different seasons, and we were here for the Summer Solstice a couple of years ago. This time, the moors gave us a bit of a surprise. It was overcast and drizzly when we arrive, but as we walked, a mist started to swirl up around us, making everything just look unreal and magical. It was like wandering into a different world.
Wild Meadow Wax Melts
When we got home, we lit our diffuser with Wild Meadow scented wax melts from Wax Lyrical for the season.
