Twelve

Twelve months ago I wrote this post. I asked if people wanted to join me in my journey as I turned Twelve around.

Then the Mars Bar power lifestyle caught up with me, and I had to learn to slow down.

I'm getting there, & hope you wont mind if I show you the changes. It's been a slog at times & I still have the 'room of doom to tackle', but its also been fun, creative, fulfilling and the changes are working for the family as well as me.

Twelve is looking good. I'd love to share it with you.

My First Ever Girls Weekend trip to London

I love the underground. It reminds me of being a child, my Nana would take me from Romford to Seven Kings or London. The woosh of air & noise. The smell. It brings it all flooding back. 

3.

Shopping

Philosophy.

I've read about this shop & seen picture's. It's an Aladdin's cave of gorgeousness.

Quite possibly the best ever display of aprons

So pretty I wouldn't want to wear for fear of getting dirty.

Liberty

Utterly beautiful

Mixing old with new

A sense of being in design history

We decided to break the journey this time. Speed is not a word used to describe our bus. 

He lives his life in the slow lane. 

Can you see his 'bra'? It's to protect his frontage from stone chips.

Early evening stroll along the Waterfront, scooters for the small people.

Durdle Door

A stop off to see the Jurassic Coast Line

And a Bucket Tree

This traditional sweet shop was beautiful  

But the prices

I know its more expensive 'down south', but 'rip off' springs to mind.....

No fossils  

But pebbles for the pebble gatherer

Trevone Bay

From inside

Love these Napkins

Made me heart skippily happy in their sea side matchy-ness

From the outside

It was cold

He persevered & was rewarded

And a little Miss wised up to the most comfortable place

Squeezing the last out of the day
