It is a bit of a tradition to embrace bright colours in summer. Ours is so short lived; the warm days & long nights are a joy after winter.
I'm having friends join us for supper, not dinner. For me, supper is a relaxed get together with generally only a main & pudding. It is a time to catch up on each others busy lives. Dinner is a bit more formal & is rarer.
However, I still love to set the table. It was my ‘job’ as a child to set our long dining table for 7 each night or more if friends & grandparents were joining us. Supper was always at the table at home & it was a time to catch up on each others day in the era of no mobile phones.
I digress; pink table cloth & runner, green & pink placemats, green tinged wine glasses & green glasses & jug that belonged to Olive.
It is always fun to have lots of candles & my coloured glass ones do very nicely. Taller pink & green holders & smaller tea lights in pink, green & blue - summery & fun.
It has been a hot week so the menu is planned for a lighter meal with interesting salads.
It is strawberry season so Eton mess & fruit compote will be served in coloured vintage glass bowls.
I think it is a good choice for a solstice meal that is wholesome without being heavy.
What would your ideal mid summer meal be? The updated Solstice menu is blogged here ... Thank you for stopping by, it is appreciated.
