Okay so we might be very nearly in autumn now but here it is, my summer in the garden blog post, featuring plants, flowers and more general zoomed out photos of the garden than I’ve ever posted on here before… plus a collage of wildlife photos just because.

This is the first ARC I’ve got that’s by an author whose work I already love (two of my most favourite books are I’ll Take New York and Take A Look At Me Now) so I was super excited to be approved to read this on NetGalley.
A few weeks ago I came across a couple of people asking for a list of hashtag ideas to promote their blog posts on Twitter (ones that do get Retweets) and I said I’d write a blog post on it (…3 weeks later, better late than never right?) so here it is, a list of hashtags you can use to promote your content on Twitter (I’m including hashtags to promote both blog posts and YouTube videos in this post).
So it was two years ago today that I published my first post on here when I returned to blogging, two whole years!
I decided to give the Snow Chalet a bit of a make over in my town on The Sims Freeplay yesterday and here’s a tour of the design I ended up with, most houses I make usually end up square but because of the design of the lot on this one I decided to make it a rectangular shape instead.
This nectarine dessert is quick and easy to make and perfect for a summer evening. So I decided I wanted something to eat when I came in from gardening and knew I had a nectarine to use up, I didn’t exactly plan let’s do a blog post – I went in the kitchen thinking I’d get myself some nectarine and ice cream in a dish with madeira cake but ended up going all fancy and using this pretty dessert glass from M&S. I thought I may as well turn it into a quick blog post seeing as I haven’t posted on here for a while.
I thought I’d share with you a birthday card making tutorial this afternoon, this is a card I made for someone yesterday… it’s got a nice spring/summer garden theme to it.

When I first read what the book was about I definitely thought it had a spooky feel to it – the basis of the story being centred around the night of Halloween when an entire group of villagers went missing. What happened, why did they all disappear?
If you haven’t already seen it, I posted a spring in the garden blog post just over a month ago, you can find that here – Spring Flowers In The Garden 2019, since then more plants have come out in flower so I thought I’d do another post – a part 2, this one with more of a wildlife theme to it too.
A couple of weeks ago I was gifted these skincare products when a parcel arrived from Soap & Glory PR containing these 3 as part of their #babesofglory campaign. Thanks so much for sending me these Soap & Glory PR!

Zookeeper is a free verse poem, written by the author to give advice to his daughter starting college, using analogies in nature to impart his advice.
It’s spring which means it’s gardening weather again, yay! Last year I did a spring in the garden blog post but didn’t post it until towards the end of spring whereas this year I’ve decided to do a post a lot nearer to the start of spring… so, on with the spring photos.
