					<description><![CDATA[There’s been a heatwave in June for most of the UK, apparently. I like a heatwave, working in my shady studio during the day and savouring the warm evenings, the pleasure of eating supper outdoors, being able to wear light and floaty clothes. Ah, the joy of finally taking socks off, hello toes! But I <a href="https://claudiamyatt.co.uk/2025/06/sails-sea-ice-and-songs/">continue reading &#187;</a>]]></description>

White flecks on the waves told me that it was windy and cold out there, but I was warm and comfortable in the drawing room of Cunard’s Queen Anne.
