December 2012

Bringing you the warmest of greetings today,quite literally,it’s 39 degrees celcius!!!

One doesn’t spend much time out of doors on these hot days,so one will venture out early morning or late evening only or risk being overcome by the heat.There’s nothing more undignified than having the ground rush up to meet you and the embarrassment of the unintended showing of one’s undergarments!!!

The sky is a beautiful light blue with a sun that is so powerful,it is difficult to keep oneself upright.A large brimmed hat today is a necessity!A light finely woven straw hat,with soft delicate silk trimming in neutral tonings is such a gentle and peaceful contrast to the harshness of the heat it encounters.The hot sun is merciless turning the once pale skin painfully red.

Best to stay indoors today with a large pitcher of ice cold lemonade to enjoy and keep oneself hydrated.

Fondest love

Lucy
