The Day I Met a Lion

This weekend I met a Lion.

Actually I’ve met this lion before, but on Saturday I noticed how nicely his yellow went with my yellow frock, so I stopped to say a proper hello.

Growl

This is the only way to say hello to a Lion, Trust me. You have to be careful with Lions or they’ll have your arm off.

I survived meeting the lion, and posed for a few more photos with him. The weather is still really warm, but I can feel that late summer feeling creeping in. A slight freshness that means Autumn is on it’s way so I can start imagining autumn wardrobes and looking at interesting tights and stockings.

Todays outfit, however, was all summer. A Wallis Linen shirt dress I found in a Charity Shop with black accessories and a crazy flower brooch.

Normally at this point I would show you some other pretty pictures from my Saturday. Except all I took was an uninspiring photo of the Croque Madame I had for brunch (which was tasty, if not pretty) and a picture of some socks I bought. So you’ll have to make do with those instead.

    You are very very brave going near said lion- I disappointingly did not meet any lions this weekend! He does match your dress well though I agree xxx

    I saw no lions. I had lunch in a pub with a ‘do not feed the unicorn’ sign and annoyingly didn’t see the unicorn either! But the lunch was massive, so all good.

    The lion pales into insignificance as far as that gorgeous dress is concerned. You look amazing 🙂

    I met no lions. For shame. But I DID meet a beautiful Birman pusscat on my day off on Monday, so I am counting that as a sorta lion.
