Summer Loving Week Part 1...2 days to go...

Hello petal.

It's Summer Loving Week. 
Are you ready? 
Do you want a super-special button? 
Your wish is my command....

Here for exclusive use by YOU
{I know, I know...so lucky}
is my Summer Loving button 
to use for linky party posts.

Modern Country Style



{Simply copy and paste the html onto your blog post 
and the button will magically pop up......
if you find copying over the html part too fiddly 
then feel free to link by text instead.}


So what are the plans for this week of 
Summer Loving at Modern Country Style?

Today I thought I'd share some of my favourite garden photos.
Then tomorrow, I've got a Summer fashion post just for you.


And on Wednesday
I'm bursting to share some of 
my summer secrets 
to eke out every last moment of sunshine.....

...and, of course, 
Wednesday is also the day 
when I do hope you'll come over and 
share your Summer Loving posts with us all.


 I am officially in love with 
the glorious summer days 
that we are having here in the Cotswolds. 


The light is golden. 
The breeze is warm. 
The days are long and happy, 
with the children splashing about in the garden, 
and me pottering contentedly in the flower beds, 
or sitting down with my favourite book.


There are few things I like doing more 
than sitting in the garden with a good book, 
whiling away the hours. 

The evenings are bringing 
the most lovely, gentle light, 
as we head inexorably into autumn, 
and it's such a pleasure to enjoy these last moments, 
don't you think?

  1. Hi Sarah, Your post today is lovely of your sweet bag on the chair in the garden. We are enjoying summer here as well although it's raining today after 4days of sun and heat. I'll try to join you on Wednesday. Have a lovely day! Pamela

  3. So pretty my dear! I love early autumn, it is so beautiful and refreshing, still warm enough to be out and about but not dying of heat exhaustion! :)
    Enjoy your day!

  8. Just lovely my friend! I'm trying to squeeze out every last ounce of fun from summer too and sitting in your gorgeous garden reading a book sounds like a little slice of heaven. :-) I'll most definitely be back to party with you this week!

  10. Oh my, I love to sit in the garden and read a book, that has been such a special blessing this summer. Normally we have hordes of mosquitoes and we cannot sit out in the garden. But this summer there has been almost NO rain and we can sit out for hours and not be bitten. I love it! This has been such a special summer for that reason and so I have sat out and read so many times.
    I look forward to your party!
    Hugs, Cindy

  20. Why hello fleur, so lovely to see a bit of your garden. I am finding myself wishing I too was in the Cotswolds. It is hot as blazes here in the Pinebelt of Misssissippi and my family is but a few days away from going to Panama City for vacation. Just in time for a hurricane it seems.
    A hint, just a hint, of autumn is in the air in the afternoons here too. This has most folks longing for college football gameday weekends and all that goes into it. I'm looking forward to it myself! How 'bout you? :)
