LEXIE ALEXANDRA

Whilst I'm very much enjoying the sun from my own back garden, I'm still coming to terms with the fact that I'm not going to be travelling anyway anytime soon. What a luxury to have that as a problem? I've been furiously pinning photos of holidays and alfresco dining- imaging being in France or Spain or somewhere a few degrees warmer. Here are a few of my favourites. The vibe seems to be slow mornings, gold jewellery, blue jeans and covering your face with a film camera.

I suppose it makes me value the freedom I have more, it makes me appreciate the time spent with friends, being in the company of so many. I'm grateful that I am happy to spend time alone.

I'm going to use this time to be creative, to slow down and learn how to just be. I think I'm guilty of imposing a sort of pressure on myself to do something productive and meaningful with this time; in fear that it will be wasted. Nevertheless, I think this could be what our society needs right now and it makes me sad that it takes something as monumental as a pandemic, to make people slow down and realise what is important in life. We'll have to relearn how to navigate the system, and maybe that's not such a bad thing at all? Because we're all rolling with the punches together.
