There are two start dates for the summer, the astrological one and the meteorological one, but as we are impatient and can't wait until the aforementioned astrological one on 20th June, our summer is starting, in real life, today, meteorologically speaking on the 1st.
And, so to embrace, what we hope will be long and balmy days, filled with clear blue skies, brilliant sunshine and the odd summer breeze to help cool us down ......
......... the ever fragrant Alice has decided to change up her perfume to reflect the season, in the guise of Nivea Sun.
Now, it's neigh on impossible to think that Alice could ever be more fragrant .........
.......... her signature aroma being Lush Snow Fairy, but the name doesn't really reflect this glorious time of year, so she's swapped notes of cotton candy, cherry, pear and vanilla for, and I quote, "fresh citrus and subtle florals, anchored by a warm, woody base and concludes with a soft, airy freshness that lingers like a day spent basking in the sun" ............
It all sounds very heady and romantic, however, I'll admit I'm not too sure, as I think I also picked up notes of furniture polish of the more expensive (not own brand) persuasion, not that I would ever utter a word to Alice.
However Darrell has castigated me good and proper, calling me me a Philistine, because, accordioning to him, whenever Alice whaffs by, she exudes summer personified, transporting him to every Greek beach we've ever laid on a sunbed, plus a few in the UK, including Dawlish and Bournemouth. What is he like?
Having a lady amidst a household of pretty much confirmed bachelors has really changed our perspective on things, but we wouldn't be without her!
