Ready or not, August is here! This week we are welcoming August at the Hearth and Soul Link Party, celebrating the best late summer has to offer!
At the Hearth and Soul Link Party, you can share blog posts old and new, about anything that feeds the soul. This includes – but is not limited to – family, home, recipes, decorating, crafts, DIY, travel, organisation, book reviews, the arts and self improvement.
What’s New?
Last week I shared lots of photos from my most recent visit to Windsor Castle and St George’s Chapel.
Windsor Castle is not far from where I live and I always enjoy visiting. Apparently it is one of HM The Queen’s favourite castles as well! St George’s Chapel was the venue for the most recent Royal Weddings including that of TRH The Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
Plus I’ve got a delicious new salad recipe for you!
My Chicken Salad with Salsa and Quinoa is a fresh, colourful and healthier option that is perfect for lunch, a light supper, potlucks and buffets.

April, I can not wait to try the salad it looks delicious. I am sorry I have been absent for a while. I had spinal surgery on Monday and am now just able to sit and get back into things. I always enjoy your link party, and just wanted to say thank you.
Angela, thank you so much for your lovely comment. I hope you are recovering comfortably and that you will feel much better very soon. I really appreciate your very kind compliments, and I pray you are soon feeling completely well. Take care x
April, Windsor is my favourite castle! Thank you so much for hosting. Just scrolling down to comment, several links caught my eye–I’m starting with #121.
It’s one of mine too, Jean! Thank you for visiting and sharing. I can’t wait to visit some more of the links myself. I haven’t got to 121 yet but I’m looking forward to it! Have a wonderful weekend.
