Tyntesfield

Satisfying my granny tendencies, my friend Georgia and I recently took a trip to Tyntesfield, where i was seriously impressed with the beautiful blooms and amazing kitchen garden.

Lovely Flowers

Every time I head for my weekly shop I cannot avoid picking up a bunch of flowers. I love, always having fresh flowers in the flat and this week it's been all about pink roses and tulips.

Daffodils

Daffodils are great, all bright and cheery. They make me long for fresh Spring days and dazzling sunshine.

Beautiful Kalkan

I have just returned from a magical week in Kalkan, Turkey. Although we did have a few rainy moments/storms we enjoyed fabulous weather, delicious food (in particular meze) and some beautiful scenery and beaches. To top it off, we stayed in the stunning Fidanka Hotel, a quirky place hugged by a cascading array of highly scented flowers, rich in purples and pinks. Our room was more like a suite, with a living, room, bedroom, en-suite and dressing room and a sweet little terrace with a comfy double hammock from which we could lie back and watch the sunset.

It's Been A While

I have just had a rather large blogging break and am now realising how much I have missed it!

Over the past few months, I have been to a couple of fantastic festivals; Womad and Hamswell, had some lovely time with friends, been to London to see the Ballgowns exhibition at the V&A, seen my gorgeous nieces, experienced a flood at work, the Bristol Balloon Festival, eaten some yummy food, made some cakes and have found some lovely bits in the shops.

Now, I am settling down to watch Breakfast At Tiffanys and then have sweet dreams about the lovely holiday I have to look forward to in three weeks time!
