Less lethargic than August, more high summer than June, it’s a time made for ambling, if we remember to slow down a little.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBlue space helps, be it strolling along a riverbank for a picnic, coming across a canal-side garden or enjoying the vista on a coastline wander. We can amble anywhere, of course, following interesting looking diversions on a map or seeking out quiet spaces away from summer crowds. This doesn’t mean a lack of purpose, it’s more about appreciating the joy of slow – the nostalgia of sending postcards, memorable music and statement T-shirts or making art from pebbles and shells. No need to travel far, ambling is like an everyday holiday.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePLEASE NOTE: Copies will be posted from Wednesday 24 June along with other items in the same order.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Simple Things","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58274567225728,"sku":"The Simple Things 169 JULY","price":6.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0273\/5118\/7538\/files\/TST169JulyCover.png?v=1781609462","url":"https:\/\/picsandink.com\/products\/the-simple-things-issue-169-july","provider":"Pics and Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
