Whitstable

On a cool, grey and blustery day we took a trip to Whitstable in Kent. A quaint, English seaside resort with miles of pebbly beach, winding lanes and alleys and some beautiful freshly caught seafood. Even though we visited on a ghostly, quiet, and rather grim day weatherwise, this sweet place still had a great deal of unspoilt charm.

Where has all the sunshine gone?

The day my lovely new, geeky sandals arrived from Topshop this week, the heavens opened and as I splattered my way from work to the car park, I dreamt of those sunny days which came and went so quickly. I know it will be back, but I wish it would just hurry up.

Sunny Salcombe

Wow, what glorious sunshine and how amazingly lucky were we to have been enjoying it's warming delights whilst down by the coast in Devon. Chris and I are just back after a splendid few days in Salcombe, where we lay on the golden sands, soaking up the tingling rays, tentatively dunking our toes in the gently lapping, glistening waves, sipping yummy ales and devouring some beautiful seafood.

Loving The Leopard

Over the years it would be fair to say that I've had the odd dalliance with leopard print. One of my favourite pair of summer shoes are leopard print and I'm getting the feeling it is high time I invested in some more pieces. I would love a mid-length, textured jacket, over sized bag and dare i say it, even a pair of trousers! Always wary of the Bet Lynch effect, most of the time I feel that less is probably more.

April Music Of The Month, Wild Belle - Isles

So this month, my new music album is Wild Belle, Isles. It has a bit of a reggae vibe mixed with sweet vocals, a great soundtrack for the Summer.

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!

Cats!

I love cats, and this seems to be the week for them. I'm on cat-sitting duty, looking after the very lovely, but mostly very sleepy Frehley and then as I came home tonight, befriended a sweet little black and white cat who then tried to barge past me and into my flat!
