    1. Oh yes, Nadezda, the water is warm!
      I enjoy swimming very much and feel very comfortable in the water. Some years ago, floating there in the lake I noticed I'm falling asleep... and decided it's safer to return to the shore. :)
      Coming soon over to see how your weather is now!

    1. Kiitos, Sari! :)
      Saimme Pentik-nÀkkileipÀÀ lahjapakkauksessa lautasliinojen yms. kanssa. Luulen ettÀ sitÀ saa Pentikin verkkokaupan ja myymÀlöiden lisÀksi myös tavarataloista.

  5. Your posts never cease to amaze me Sara, beautiful!
    I am feeling rather warm now and could do with dipping my toes in the icy cool water along with the water lillies with a cool drink of buttermilk. Well no actually, I would prefer your Mother's doughnuts and coffee :)
    It wont be long before the birds are feasting on those berries!
    Have a wonderful week in your beautiful part of the World :)

    1. Thank you, Prunella! :)
      Cold buttermilk is very refreshing on a hot summer day.
      The red currants grow on old, wild shrubs and we are rather relaxed with them. My father did, however, hang a hawk-looking bird scarer above them. We'll see if it works.
      You too, enjoy the summer! <3

  19. Lovely sights of summer and wow, a fabulous lipstick! Lucky you to wear this colour, I am too fair to pull it off but think it is a luscious shade of red.
    Interesting that you drink buttermilk, my late father used to...but for me it is a liquid to bake with.
    Hope to see you at Maggie's for MM next week.
    Have a good weekend!
