Lovely lighting is so important, it can not only enhance and transform a room, but can also improve your mood and mindset.
Candlelight is my favourite lighting for creating a warm cosy atmosphere whatever the season.
Even in Summer, when the days feel endless and the natural light is warm and blissful, I like to light a few candles in the garden as afternoon descends into evening, just as darkness falls watching the shadows cast around the flower beds, with a cosy blanket, a book and a cup of tea (or maybe something stronger).
If I still quietly here for long enough, at mid tide sometimes I can hear the sea.
