Little vignettes that have caught my eye around the house in the last little while.

Phosphenes n. the stars and colors you see when you rub your eyes

Hot sun, cold coffee, jean shorts, beach blankets and pure summer.


“Summer afternoon—summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language.”
- Henry James

Along the hundreds of canals that criss cross the United Kingdom, many spend their holidays and some even their lives, living and traveling on a houseboat. Moving slowly down the canals, life feels calm and worry-free. It gives one the time to catch up on the pile of books that have been patiently waiting, or the chance to have meaningful conversations away from the distractions of modern life.
