Luckily, Ross and I have plenty of time to find out this year. We ventured over to a new garden {I'm a sucker for anything with the word "garden" in its title}, and truly saw what summer was about: shirts off, suits on, picnic blankets rolled out on the grass, people sunning lazily for hours in the parks + gardens {I guess when you don't have a beach or pool, grass is the next best thing!}, prosecco and rosè flowing like water, and "nibbles" from the local grocery store shared among friends.
We've seen this in numerous parks over the last few 80-degree days {I didn't know London had it in her to get this hot!}, but the one pictured below is of Holland Park + Kyoto Garden.
