Summer 2026 ended and it wasn’t the beach side frolicking type of summer that I hoped for.
Do you remember my summer wishlist?
Summer 2026 Wishlist
Let me refresh your memory:
Enjoy a beach/waterfall day ⛱️
A weekend getaway someplace near the water
A day in Holywell 🌄
Read two beach reads – a summer romance and a thriller
Have people over – will the heat let me be great? Maybe not but we can all be sweaty and sticky together
Try new summer coffee and coolers from Cafe Blue and Cafe Dolce.
Summer 2026 Reality
My commute still makes me exhausted but I did see my best friend and we had a bookish afternoon and then sushi and cocktails.
I did not see a body of water except if my taxi drove near the Kingston waterfront.
Some highlights from Blind Date With A Book 📚
I read four books during July and August and one was a romantic suspense To Catch A Sinner by Lucy Wilson-Tagoe
I did not get to try any of the summer drinks from local coffee shops because on mid-August my partner and I adopted a low carb and low sugar diet. But maybe some autumnal 🍂 treats are in my future.
How was your summer? Did the reality live up to your expectations?
