So fingers crossed for a FUN summer! Smiles from Belgium, Saskia :)

ReplyDeleteWe don't have a lot of money for elaborate summer plans but our favorite things to do are simple and usually happen in our backyard: grilling and eating on the patio every night, gardening, playing baseball or soccer with the kids, making s'mores, and my favorite - fixing up a cute little play corner for the kids with painted rocks, stepping stones and re-painting a hand-me-down wood playset we just received.
ReplyDeleteThis summer i will be visiting all the lighthouses in the Turkish Aegean Coast. It is part of my studies for my PhD. But it involves a lot of fun, mainly because of the locations of the lighthouses. Some are on islands, some are on moles, some on high lands and some are right in the sea. So we ride a car, sometimes we climb the mountains and sometimes sail a boat to reach the lighthouses. I meet lovely lighthouse keepers and other people, taste local food and swim in between. I am also hoping to document my travels in my art journal. Maybe on other mediums, too. So happy creating :)
ReplyDeleteWe are planning to have a bike trip on the French coast and as usual do lots of drawing and painting, knitting, cooking, walking. Thanks for this very nice opportunity
