My Summer Favourites...Sun-drenched days and starlit nights
Picnics by the creek
Reading romance novels whilst sipping Bellinis
Afternoon tea in the garden
Building sandcastles whilst watching waves foaming at the shore
Strawberries and peaches
Napping in the afternoon

And yours darling? 
Just looking at your lovely pictures and feeling luxurious.
ReplyDeleteThat just about sums it all up! Those icecream scoops on top of each other is a piece of art and they must taste good too. XX
ReplyDeleteI wish it was summer over here in Australia when I read this Duchess!
ReplyDeleteHave an ice cream for me!
Best wishes,
Natasha.
Darling-
ReplyDeletegood to read, that you feel good and that you are able to enjoy the summer.
Bellinis- mmmmmmmmmmmmh...
I enjoy my garden, when the sun is shining- lying there with my doggie and my old cat - with my daughter- enjoying the warm air... a little pause in my deckchair is like heaven...
I enjoy it to wear sandals (highheels- of course) - swimming naked in the sauna pool- the sun is drying my skin, while I am lying in the deckchair- and I get energy in this way for the whole week... I love pepperminttea, when it´s hot- going with my daughter in the city- buying glitter necklaces for wonderful summerdresses... and darling- I bought a big sunhat- ok, one of many I have- in white with black tender stripes so lovely :-))
I love it to read from you- your wonderful inspirating posts and photos...
God always blesses you, my wonderful friend.
I think of you-
Love and kisses- Ines
Darling Duchess, you named all my favourites, I will only have to add swimming to the list.
ReplyDeleteMargo
My summer favourites are eating ice cream, sunshine, sandals, and not having to wear a jacket.
ReplyDeleteMissed you daaaaahling.
*kisses* HH
I wish I was having summer too :-) I'm really missing ice cream!
ReplyDeleteMy sweetDuchess how are you sweetie ? good i hope.i have been thinking of you and your sweet friend.stop by soon gentle hugs cilla
ReplyDeletemy summertime favorites are,nice walks in the evening at the park,fresh peaches and making home made ice cream,so much more to list.but most of all sharing my thoughts with my special friends here :)cilla
ReplyDeleteOoh well they sound delightful but might I ask for cornish ice cream with strawberries instead of cream??
ReplyDeleteVictoria xx
All my summer favourites are being away for a while and enjoy some free time with friends! and it's coming soon. Lots of love for you xoxo
ReplyDeletemmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....looks very delightful! mmmmmmmmmmmmm...icecream... that is summer! Hugs semlan
ReplyDeleteOh, all of what you mentioned is wonderful! I would add:
ReplyDeleteSwimming in a beautiful lake or the ocean,
painting outside,
dinner with friends on the terrasse
watching the stars on a warm nightsky,
picking flowers and fresh herbs,
walking barefoot in the grass,
being lazy in the sun ...
i just LOVE summer!
Have a lovely day, dear Duchess!
I would say Fishing, boating in sparkling waters. Watching the
ReplyDeletekayak's coming up the cove, with
the sound of laughter floating across the water. Painting by the shore, picking flowers.
yvonne
Oh your photographs are just so pretty and feminine - love it.
ReplyDeleteA sweet hello from Frog Hollow Farm. Loved everything you listed on your post - bellinis are just so delicious - I think that they should be part of the major food groups! Some things I love about summer here at Frog Hollow Farm are hot,sunny days, the scent of honeysuckle in the air, the sound of bluejays squawking as they fly from tree to tree, our raspberries ripening in the garden, the smell of tomatoes on the vine, and watching the Cinderella pumpkins plumping up as the grow. Hope all continues to improve with you and your friend. Oh, I forgot to mention ice cream cones (strawberry or peach) !!
ReplyDeleteCiao, bella!
We are in the midst of our winter in sub-tropical Queensland but we will still have ice-cream for dessert in this household. That pic of the ice-cream scoops looks delectable! YUMMY!
ReplyDeleteI love swimming in my pool. Sitting on my swing watching the cars go bye. Watching my grandkids having fun in the pool. Your ice cream scoops look so good as does the other dessert you pictured. Have a blessed day.
ReplyDeleteOh Duchess I would love to be there walking through your garden and then sitting down to a lovely ice cream and then a bracing cup of tea. Sigh!
ReplyDeleteTina xo
I LOVE Everything about summer!!!
ReplyDeleteThe sounds, the smells, being able to go barefoot, flip-flpos, no coats, Hot Hot Sunny Days, grilling out... So much! It is most definitely my Very Favorite time of year. :)
Thinking about you. Many thoughts and prayers to you!
Joyce
How did they get those ice cream scoops to stay one on top of the other. That's amazing?
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid I have difficulty enjoying the summer. I have terrible allergies and I don't do well in extreme heat. I do however prefer it to freezing my bum off. I do love good strawberries though and a nice watermelon.My favorite time of the year is the autumn, which will be here before we know it. Good to hear from you Duchess.
What luscious dessert pics. You have mentioned most of my summer favorites. When I was growing up summer meant trips to the cottage and swimming and fishing in the lake. I still look forward to summer vacation.
ReplyDeleteHope you are well and that your friend is doing better.
oh their my faves too, especially the beach and cornish ice cream! floiss xx
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely post! Now I am really looking forward to my Summer months off...I am going to make everyday count. Miss you so so much my friend...xoxoxoox Prayers and hugs are always being sent your way. xoxoxoo
ReplyDeleteThe sound of music drifting through open windows...
ReplyDeleteCrickets and tiny frogs singing in the night...
(That ice cream pic is so sweet!)
♥
You have painted such a beautiful picture with all those lovely summer joys.
ReplyDeleteohhh how im missing the warm weather! Its getting colder and colder here in Adelaide.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos as always Duchess.
Hope you have a glorious week!
Rose
Your blog always makes me smile. Thanks for sharing your beautiful pictures and thoughts.
ReplyDeleteSo loved hearing from you, Duchess.... and am happy your friend is home resting. I will continue to send prayers to both of you....
ReplyDeleteMy summer days are similar to yours, but also include canoeing on Grand Lake in Colorado, feeding and watching the hummingbirds, fly fishing, hiking in the mountains and putting puzzles together with my daughters and mother...the last of which is my favorite!
Fireworks, fireflies and ice cream!!! I usually get the last two for my birthday and, that, and gentle time with my family, is as good as a shower of diamonds and pearls!
ReplyDeleteLove to you, dear Duchess!
Such a delight to visit you, Beloved Duchess! Just dreamy... **blows kisses** Deb
ReplyDeleteDear Duchess, Blessings to you!
ReplyDeleteI will have to paint my toenails pink today because this just sounds like something wonderful.
Summer fun includes
drinking cherry limeades
eating homemade vanilla ice-cream
shopping at thrift shops for their bargains
time well spent with family
kissing grandbabies cheeks
strolling in the cool of the evening
taking photographs
and blogging!
Sending well wishes to you and praying all is going well.

I'd just want to join and sit there for looking at such wonderful colour palette... Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSending you lots of sunny moments from Georgia/USA
MariettesBacktoBasics
All your favorites sound wonderful. I sure do miss the beach. One of my favorites is all the beautiful flowers and the sweet baby birds. :)
ReplyDeleteDuchess you have done it again, another brilliant post. You know my weakness has always been ice cream and bellinis and if these two are on any season list, then the season is my favourite (you also know I dislike summer, can't stand the heat!!!). Talk to you later.
ReplyDeleteHetty

Darling Duchess,
ReplyDeleteYou have such an incredible way with words. "Sun-drenched days and starlit nights...Picnics by the creek." Today you leave me dreaming of relaxing and magical summer days more than ever.

How have you been lovely? And with so much royal news you must be enjoying your tea and gossip. Prince Albert is engaged? Amazing. Come stop by for a slice of San Francisco when have a chance? Tell me would you change your name for marriage?
ReplyDeleteDearest Duchess
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for visiting my blog and your beautiful kind uplifting words! Your words are going into a file that I keep and when someone is not kind to me I take out that file and read it and choose to believe what people like you said of me!!! You are very precious as well and I have to tell you that there are nights when I am awake and think of you and your friend and lift both of you up in my prayers!!
Blessings to you!!!

ReplyDeleteDear Duchess,

Pink nails, summery dresses, all sounds great but over here it is raincoats and boots.
It will be 6 months before we can enjoy summer again.
Thank you for visiting me, I think of you often.
Have a lovely weekend, dear friend.
Hugs

Dearest Duchess I wish you a peaceful summer and your friend a speedy recovery. What a gorgeous post, summer has always been my fave. I LOVE:
ReplyDelete*Practicing yoga outdoors, feeling grounded with the grass beneath my toes
*Attending outdoor theatre at our local historical houses with a champagne picnic!
*Maxi dresses and pink Birkenstocks
*Planting (and eating) strawberry pots on the patio
*Placing a vintage blanket on the lawn, lying down in the moment and just listening to the birds and sheep in the field
*One scoop of black cherry icecream, one scoop of coconut in a sprinkle vanilla cone :-)
*Iced vanilla lattes ....
Lovely thoughts on Summer Duchess... and my prayers continue for your dear friend... xoxo Julie Marie
ReplyDeleteDear Duchess, Thank you so much for your visit and kind comment on my blog. While reading your past posts, I found out about the sadness you are going through. Your friend is so blessed to have someone like you on her side during this trying time. You are someone that I look up to. Graciousness, manners, all the things many Americans lack. I’ll think of you as I try to behave myself!
ReplyDeleteThese are great!! Have a great weekend doll!! xoxo
ReplyDeleteDear Duchess! I'm happy that you're back here! Hope this means that Lady R is recovering good and fast!
ReplyDeleteTo me summer is the season of freedom: freedom of doing whatever you like!!
Many hugs sweetie!
Mara
Oh my, what gorgeous pictures, as always. I'm in for strawberries, lots of strawberries.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a wonderful weekend with lots and lots of sunshine, dearest Duchess. xx
My summer favourites are nice walks in the beach Costa Brava a very nice village, very nice beach, the sun, the boats, the colours....the mediterranean flavour!!!! Do you know? the fotos in my blog!!! My congratulations your blog are very beatiful!!!Kisses Esther
ReplyDeleteHello darling, it was so lovely to hear from you, sorry it's taken a bit to get back but I'm very slow these days. I haven't had as much time, so my visiting is not what it once was.
ReplyDeleteMy very best to your friend and you and yours, I do hope everything works out. It's so difficult to see someone dear suffer.
On a lighter note I hope the weather is beautiful and you are enjoy it and your garden.
hugs and xxxx DJ
Hello, dear Duchess,
ReplyDeleteI love all of your thoughts on summer. To your list I would add watching butterflies flitting through my garden and hummingbirds buzzing by on lovely wings drinking a sip of nectar from my morning glories. I am praying for your friends speedy and full recovery. Thank you for stopping by for a visit. Your visits always brighten my day. Always a pleasure to visit your Rose Tea Cottage, sweet friend~ Sending lots of love and hugs your way~ Vicki
Thank you so much for dropping by and saying hello ... that is so very sweet and kind of you!

How I love that photo of the stacked ice cream scoops! Of course, everything you post is pure eye candy. ♥
ReplyDeleteI've been out of the loop a bit with visiting..I do hope you'll drop by when in the neighborhood. :0)
Have a wonderful day,
Stephanie ♥
My dearest Duchess,
ReplyDeletethank you for popping in. I must apologized for having rarified my visits to my bloggy friends, as well as my posting, due to a lack of time and, I must admit, energy. I've been feeling quite blue over the past months and the medications I've been taking for nearly a year and a half now for my depression do not seem to help a wee bit. hope the summer will bring me some of the energy I'm lacking now in order to get my life back on track.
So sorry to hear about Lady R. My prayers go to her for a winning battle against cancer and to her family that they may have the strength they will need to help go thru chemo.
A big hug and a fab rest of the weekend.
rita
Darling Duchess, I needed to come for a visit, I needed the best inspiration, and I´m so happy I came!!!! Wonderful as always!!!!
ReplyDeletecariños,
maria cecilia
The sound of the wind rustling in the leaves. The chirping of the birds. The scent of flowers. The laughter of children playing at the park. These are a few of my favorite things....in the summer!
ReplyDeleteHope you are well Dear Duchess!
G'eve Duchess ~ Another delectable delightful dessert with you ... how refreshing & inviting. Thank you for a beautiful visit, once again.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely summer eve.

Good Morning Sweet Duchess...
ReplyDeleteI am so thrilled to be able to pop in a little early today. I am trying to get back up on my feet. I have not pushed, as I certainly do not want to go back for another 8 day visit to the hospital. This illness has really hung on. I go back to the doc on July 9th and he will make a decision as to when I am allowed outdoors again. For now, I am only allowed out for the appointments (dr., x-rays and lab). I am thrilled to be feeling good enough to blog again. This is my second real day back. Yesterday was my first Pink Saturday since I got sick in April. My asthma and lungs appear to be getting a little better, but the are sending me to an ear, nose and throat specialist this Friday, to check out my larynx. I am still quite hoarse. Some days not much comes out.
I have missed you immensely and am so thrilled to pop over to the cottage today sweetie. I have to ask you though, How did you get those wonderful scoops to stay on top of each other like that? I love strawberry ice cream the best. It has always been my favorite.
The pinks, pink polish ofcourse. Heidi just polished them for me the other day, to bring a little happiness into my day. She is such a dear daughter.
Stop by soon my sweet friend. I love seeing you. Country hugs and so much love, Sherry
that ice cream shot is amazing and can only think how hard it was to take... have a nice one!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness utter temptation!!! Yum!!xx
ReplyDeleteYour favorites are so lovely, I didn't think I could come up with a list of my own. But here goes...
ReplyDeleteSitting in the porch swing at twilight, watching the lightning bugs emerge from the grasses. Listening to the chirping of crickets and tree frogs.
Tall frosty glasses of peach tea.
Homemade lemon ice cream.
Sunday morning trips to Farmers Market.
Bradley tomatoes, fresh corn, and watermelons.
Lying on a blanket under the stars in August, watching the Perseid meteor showers.
Crocs without socks.
Open windows and fluttering curtains.
Daylight until after 8:00!
My sweet Duchess
ReplyDeletestopping by this morning to send you a gentle hug ,i hope you have a nice week sweetie stop by soon .cilla
Hello your Grace,
ReplyDeleteI love all these wonderful summer things also. And I would love to have tea with you in my Gazebo. We would have a wonderful afternoon, Of course we would have plenty of company with us...LOL..As soon as you break out the biskets and cookies, we would have peacocks all over us. They would probly snatch treats right out of your hands.I'm serious.My big white peacock grabed food out the mouth of my 150lb's plus rottwieler.Knock him to the ground and rolled him over.That cost us a good $400.00 dollars at the vet. Christmas Snow has never tried to hurt people just the dog.And he took Rip unawears.
Really I do love to go out in the Gazebo and bring a book and read,so it gets used all the time.Its a good place to get away.
Thank you so much for your visit,I so love them.We would have such a good time together.Any time you are down this way...You are always welcome.Have a safe summer Dear One,
XXOO Marie Antionette
Lovely to be back in the warm glow of your beautiful words and pictures. For me lazing about on the beach and warm evenings drinking chilled wine in the garden is summer for me xx
ReplyDeleteHi Dutchess,
ReplyDeleteA lot of your favorites are my favorites as well; starlit nights, strwberries and peaches...May I add walking barefoot and wearing summer dresses ;-)?!
Hope you are ok? I miss your posts. It mus be a very stressful period for you. Your friend is very lucky to have you by her side.
Wish you all the best!
Lieve groet, Madelief
Your photos are always wonderful, Duchess! My favourites are digging my painted toes into nice warm sand while listening to the sound of the waves at the beach; love it! I do enjoy sipping tea with friends as well. Hope your days filled with all your favourite things and your friend is doing better. Take care.
ReplyDeleteBlessings and hugs,
Sandi
tick to all of those and of course corresponding with you lovely Duchess. Love to all at Rose Tea cottage, special kiss blown to DOD,

you've named quite a few of them actually. I love cold limeade with ice too in the heat of summer. Oh, and light lemon ice or srobet. Mmm....

Dear Duchess, thank you so much for your lovely comment on my blog the other week. It was great to hear from you and hear that you are well. Summer just makes everything better, even hard times! I experience lots of pressure in my job - the media are in a crisis and it's difficult to keep the magazine going, but we must not forget, that the present moment counts and celebrate it, the best we can. Your posts are wonderful reminders, thank you for being around. xx, M.
ReplyDeleteHi Duchess, been awhile since making my rounds. I am wishing you and your family a very safe and festive 4th of July.

Your lovely blog says it all, what beauitful taste you have and brilliant use of color. Summer for me here in Santa Barbara California is long sunsets on the pier or sitting on the beach sipping a local wine, heavenly surf on a perfect sea, long hikes until dusk in the redwood forest,new giraffe babies at the zoo, ice cream downtown at my favorite cafe watching the people go by with my friends. Pink toenails, short shorts and outdoor concerts. Heaven.
ReplyDeleteMy summer favorites are eating ice cream, sunshine, sandals, and not having to wear a jacket. I prefer to eat ice-cream in 24 x 7 days, each and every flowers are my favorite.
