Simple Things

It’s the simple things.

As I sit and write this I am bathing in the English summer’s sun at 11:30am on the hammock in my garden. It feels like I’m on a Caribbean island a million miles away from here. I’m soaking in every moment of the summer, letting my skin get kissed by the sun and overdosing myself in vitamin D; the happy vitamin. It’s the simple things like this that make me happy.

I may not be able to get away to a foreign place this summer but I am making the most of every chance I can get to make it feel like I have. It’s the simple things like soaking myself in oil, lying on the hammock for endless amounts of hours a day, finding an outdoor pool to swim in or even driving down to my local beach and taking in the sea-salt polluted air. It’s all about making the most of things that you have around you. Sometimes you don’t need to travel to another country to get the sun-kissed skin and sea salt hair; although it would be rather nice to be able to get away from this country for a little while. It’s safe to say I live in a constant state of wanderlust.
