Summer’s Treasures, Little Pleasures, Happiness Can Be . . .

Another in my Walking, Wearing, Listening series, in which I talk about a podcast I listened to while walking in my neighbourhood . . . and I share photos of what I saw and what what I wore. This time, I’m summing up a podcast about a treasure hunt for the simple pleasures of summer. And I’m making a little list. Come join me? Click through to read more.

In the Neighbourhood, Walking to Italy . . .

In this post, I return to a little series I call “Walking, Wearing, Listening” in which I share photos of what I wore on a neighbourhood walk along with photos of that neighbourhood — and tell you a bit about a podcast I listened to. In this post, the podcast will take me (and you, should you care to join me) to Naples, even as I walk the streets around me here in Vancouver. Walk with me?
