Better late than never. I will use this lovely phrase to smooth out my little delay with Thursday Afternoon Notes July post. I had wonderful two week holidays in Latvia and therefore this post will have more holiday feel.
Week: July 26th - August 1st.
The Wedding Day, July 26th.
It wasn't my wedding, but it was most amazing wedding I have been invited to. My brother got married to his fiancee last weekend and had amazing countryside style weeding in the barn and guests sleeping in the tents under apple trees.

It was wonderful relaxing day with my family and friends. I am so proud of my parents. Was amazed to see them playing volleyball!
Sunflower Sunday, July 28th.
Sunflower Sunday, July 28th.
Aren't these flowers just so beautiful! This year they were specially grown in the farm for the wedding. Me and my sister decided to capture some moments while the flowers were in full bloom.

Some people don't like Mondays in general. I don't mind Mondays, but this was bad day for me. I received two news that made me feel very upset, but it's good that I was able to share my feelings and now I think it was a good lesson. And to wash all sad thoughts away completely I enjoyed this lovely sauna at my parents farm. Actually I enjoyed it every evening while I was there.

In the early hours of the morning we started our journey back to Ireland. 14 hours later tired but happy we returned home in Tullow.

Back in Action Wednesday, July 31st.
Washing, cleaning, answering emails, watering plants and doing all those other little things to get on smoothly after break. Especcialy enjoying gooseberry jam I made just couple hours before we left for holidays.
It's August already, August 1st.
The best news of the day are that Blog Awards Ireland has extended the nomination date by a week for six categories including Craft. I know couple lovely craft blogs I would like to nominate. If you like to do the same just press HERE!

Hi Margarita, I'm glad you enjoyed reading it. August is nice, but September also should be good because of the fall and it's not really cold yet. Every season has it's beauty. Let me know if you decide to visit Latvia! Cheers!
