sweet summer child

I found blood oranges (the sanguinello kind) today in Lidl. It was such an excitement I grabbed a huge bag of them. I love citrus fruit and I think there is something really novel about cracking open an unassuming orange and finding it streaked with red. It gives me a little bit of a thrill eating these, reminds me of time spent in Tuscany and eating them in the sunshine at uni.

I've been trying to soak up the suns rays as much as possible, I feel like I haven't felt warm outside since the summer, I've been sitting around my garden table eating my lunch and knitting. I've been eating lots of greek yoghurt and strawberries and strawberry gelato in the garden and it's pretty awesome that it's only March and I can do this, it's got me so psyched for Summer, if only it would come quicker!

What have you been doing thats getting you all excited for summer? I keep seeing summery instagrams and it's getting me all excited.

(I forgot to add that eating them outside in the sunshine with the a GRR Martin novel has resulted in making me think I live in Dorne and dream of sunny places..)
