HAVEN - Please yourself suppers & floor cushion picnics. Gardening for good. Swimming in sync. Seashell spotting. Books that take you places. Gravel path growing. Seals & sun traps. Sunshine negronis & lavender ices. Building a beetle bucket. Tropical prints. Why we love a good cry. A home on wheels. How to be brave. Mochi!
It’s tempting to try and cram work, restand play into the month of August. After all, this is high summer, holiday season and the best time for r&r. Expectation is sky high, yet satisfaction can be low. But what if we reframe our view of the year and, instead of seeing this season as the climax of the year, we accept it as a welcome haven, a pause in the annual cycle? Unpredictable weather and a lack of routine are no barrier, as we can embrace this safe space almost anywhere – pottering for shells on the beach, losing yourself in a good book, cooking something nice just for you or packing a little bit of home when you go away. Maybe this is why we love houses on wheels so much – our haven is wherever our caravan or camper stops for a while. A summer den for grown-ups.
