Spring into Summer

Oh, to be in England

Now that April’s there,

And whoever wakes in England

Sees, some morning, unaware,

That the lowest boughs and the brushwood sheaf

Round the elm-tree bole are in tiny leaf,

While the chaffinch sings on the orchard bough

In England – now!

Robert Browning (1812-1889)

Oh, to be in England

Now that April’s there,

And whoever wakes in England

Sees, some morning, unaware,

That the lowest boughs and the brushwood sheaf

Round the elm-tree bole are in tiny leaf,

While the chaffinch sings on the orchard bough

In England – now!

I dropped by Embryo intending to spend a few minutes – it turned into 2 hours. I thought I would share my photographs with you.

Embryo is the perfect place for idyllic whiling away of an afternoon, pondering many things, but especially the southern hemisphere winter that is upon me.

This exquisitely assembled dress from Sissy Pessoa of Baiastice comes in a range of delicate spring shades. The pink I have chosen compliments my Curio skin by Gala Phoenix in Redbud.

Embryo also includes an underwater garden, where you can watch the fireflies cavort through the tangle of plants. Best to set to midnight!
