WHEN:

Every other Monday, listeners are able to tune in to iTunes, Stitcher Radio or stop by the blog to catch the weekly podcast.

WHAT:

TSLL is beginning a new chapter and debuting its first podcast The Simple Sophisticate. What is a Simple Sophisticate you may be wondering?

The simple sophisticate is someone who prefers quality over quantity, sensible living over mindless consumption, personal style instead of trendy fashions, has an insatiable curiosity for life’s endless questions and a desire to live a truly fulfilling life rather than being led around by the nose. Inspired by her lifestyle blog The Simply Luxurious Life, Shannon Ables (the original Simple Sophisticate) shares with listeners tips on how to live a refined life on an everyday income. From achieving your goals, preparing a memorable meal, creating a capsule wardrobe, traveling the world (Francophiles tune in as Paris is a favorite destination), and living life to the fullest without breaking the bank, living well is really quite simple.

WHY:

TSLL blog continues to reach readers around the world, and now, whether you are driving, exercising, working in the yard or traveling, you can listen each week to an idea-packed episode that will offer inspiration and motivation to help keep you striving for the life of your dreams all the while keeping you well-informed and clothed in your signature style.

The Soundtrack for the Podcast:

The music on Monday’s episode and the primary music for the entire podcast is titled “Walking in Paris” and the music for  Sunday’s Au Courant Weekly is titled “Fresh and Sunny Bossa“. (click on the song title to be directed to the purchase page)

Aaand we are home, back at Le Papillon and settling in with the perfect everyday luxuries to conclude #tsllbritishweek2022. 

The new podcast episode today has now been updated and is running well, and this captured moment is one of the 25 Ways I Welcome the British Culture into My Everyday. Discover 24 more ways that may inspire you to infuse a bit more Britishness into your regular routines to elevate the everyday. 

Be sure to stop by tomorrow (Sunday May 22) to discover who won each of the five giveaways, but for now, we are snuggling in, catching our breath and slowing down. Bonsoir 😌🇬🇧❤️😴

Norman and I took a tour of my mother's garden this morning under the gaze of Ruby Peak and surrounded by birdsong.
TSLL's 4th Annual British Week wraps up with one more new episode of the podcast, now live to enjoy wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts - episode #330 - 25 Ideas for Enjoying the British Culture in Your Everyday Life.

Oh, how I enjoyed being back on British soil. This photo was captured one morning after departing from The Tube at Westminster Abbey station. 

Wishing you a wonderful day and whether you are traveling to Britain or savoring the many ways you can welcome the culture into your everyday life, Cheerio and Bonne journée 😌🇬🇧❤️

Such a big Thank You I want to extend to the @bookloftoforegon and specifically Becky for creating a welcoming space for guests and the book reading. It was such a treat to be back in this special independent bookshop and grateful to all of those who attended. 😌📖💛
Picking up a bundle of truffles for this afternoon's book signing event from @arrowheadchocolates - my go-to Dark Chocolate peanut butter, then a classic Dark Chocolate Chocolate and adding something new to the mix, a milk chocolate mint truffle. Yum!!! 

Looking forward to sipping, nibbling and talking about #tsll3rdbook The Road to Le Papillon: Daily Meditations on True Contentment! 
#tsllsimpleluxuries
This delicious dessert has now been consumed by three people (one was moi ☺️) and it was delicious AND something else that is sweet is that it is Friday! 

And not just any Friday, but a British Week Friday for the weekly This & That post. Soooo many British-themed items ➡️ With so many items included in this week’s T & T, I had to create two image collages (see above and to the right on the blog - if reading on your desktop/laptop). Okay, so there is a book for just about every interest – capers, cookbooks, travel, special edition classics, and series. A new-to-me mystery series on BritBox, a podcast hosted by Lucy Worsley I have found quite fascinating, clothing items exclusively from British brands, the grand celebration taking place currently in Britain, and yep, the second Downton Abbey film that premieres today in the states. Plus, so much more.
