Sober Wednesday - preparing for Summer

Happy Sober Wednesday!

So the sunshine over the Bank Holiday weekend was absolutely amazing, wasn't it? It did get me thinking though, in the past one of my favourite summer past times would be sitting in the sun, sharing a bottle of wine with friends. I do feel sad that I won't be doing that any more, but I just need to find a new thing to look forward to when the temperatures rise.

I think any drink that is served chilled is fab in the sun, I made smoothies for me and Mr. SSV this weekend, they were nice but didn't quite hit the spot for me. Something more like a mojito would have been better, a non-alcoholic one, obviously, or a mango smoothie like they make on the beaches in Thailand...

The fact is, we don't need alcohol to enjoy the sun, and we don't need to drink alcohol to spend quality time with our friends, we are just so entrenched in the habit that it becomes difficult to imagine one without the other.

I love the idea of going away to a hot country and having a sober holiday, appreciating the mornings, having more energy and savouring the local food. I have tentative plans to go to Turkey in October but dates have yet to be finalised. I'll keep you posted.

What are your plans for staying sober when summer finally arrives?

Let me know,
