I had originally planned to publish this second gallery at the beginning of the weekend, giving you time to fully explore three or even five rooms! However last week ended up being very challenging for me what with my friend’s funeral and conveyancing delays. I just couldn’t get myself into the blogging mood. This morning though after a delightful walk around town (more on that tomorrow) I came back feeling renewed. So hopefully this Sunday post will still leave you plenty of time to visit at least one squarer in every room.

As I often do in the Square Galleries I’m starting with those whom you may have missed. This lovely squarers joined us after the first gallery.
- Last month’s squares was a time of awakening for many of us as many new days commenced
- It was also a great time to reappear behind closed doors to discover delights of burgeoning proportions
A small room of squares, but a great opening I think. Now the next few rooms are slightly larger, so if you haven’t already poured yourself something, do take a moment now to make a cuppa or perhaps you’d prefer a cold glass of something?!
- Some square muses take risks, whilst others are far more relaxed in the hedge even in a month full of burgeoning squares
- We have flown high as we have renewed commitments and shared beautifully scented secrets
- We have also reconstructed travels, recovered from earthquake drama, and discovered the challenges of beach builds
- Throughout it all our musical squarers have refreshed us, and helps us remain both classic and classy
It is such fun revisiting squares but I am very aware that visiting even a few squarers in every room can take some time. So feel free to pop back and visit later during the month if you don’t have time right now.
- Squarers are always delighted to see you whichever season you are able to pop by and help us master the art of what sometimes seems impossible; moving forward
- Although sometimes when we don’t know which way forward, maybe it is better to sleep and rest, and enjoy the absolute beauty of a flower
- Restoration is so important as is faith for many of us, and we need moments of reflection
Wasn’t that third room wonderful. Everyone was so thoughtful with their interpretations of the themes. I can’t wait to see what you do in September. Now though we have another glorious room to explore.
- This is one is full of golden delights, although some of them are almost hidden in spring and other surround us in autumn
- I have loved the memories of yesteryear, as well as clever interpretations and those who couldn’t quite stop renewing squares
- It has been a month for remembering life is full of ups and downs, but that there are always new beginnings as the days disappear
- Thank you all again for encouraging a fresh start for squares and for sharing friendships, of which have been so beautiful
This brings us to the final room in the Squares Renew gallery. I do hope you have time left to explore this final one, as well as leave me a comment about your favourite squares this month.
- Some of my favourite flowers are in this room, along with favourite lakes I hope to visit in the autumn and incredible skies above
- Whilst we try to avoid the cutting room floor eventually even lurking squarers come full circle
- Hasn’t this though been a great gallery, no wonder many of us are taking off and whizzing around hairpin bends; full of energy for our future adventures
Squares will be back in September; the theme will be confirmed a few weeks before the start but there will be a number of hints before! In the meantime huge thanks again to everyone who joined me last month with burgeoning squares that also enabled us to renew, to reconstruct and to move forward.
What a fabulous month of Squares we all had. Thank you so much Becky, I now you put a lot of work into it, and hope you know how much that is appreciated. I can hardly wait for September to join in on your square fun again 🥰

Well another squares done and dusted. I can’t believe I managed to do almost every day when I was quite unsure.
I loved this last round up, yes I did visit all, although I did see a lot already.
Onto September 😁

now you are a superstar being a daily squarer and visiting every room. So impressed.
and I love that there were a few of you this time who said can’t possibly square daily (which I totally understood by the way) but then ended up squaring daily (which was a delightful surprise)
