16 Things

 1. 
Spring Flowers



2. 
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




4.
The Ideal Home Exhibition


Some very gifted exhibitors


Bea's of Bloomsbury
Who's giant meringue's were as delicious as the staff were freindly


Ribbon Excitement


5.
Birthday Baking
For a Friend





6.
First 
Ice Cream of the Summer


First 
Planting of the Summer
5 days later, the daisies were in the garage 
It snowed


7.
Easter Bonnets



I think I am a possibly a Pipe Cleaner modelling Genius
The 11 year old won 1st Prize
He never shared his chocolate egg


8.
Sandbanks
On our way down to Cornwall for Easter
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.




9.
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




10.
New Red Doctor Marten Mary Jane's


11.
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


12.
Sam's on the Beach
Easter at Polkeris
A Holiday Tradition





13.
Eden Project
We are making the most of our Year Valid Tickest





Discovering
Playing
Learning








The Bunny Love Project
400 Bunnies made from lost property @ The Eden Project
re -loving & valueing the discarded


14.
Discovering 
That a small child is handy to have around the house




15.
Getting ready for Summer
(again)




16.
Celebrating 
The Golden Jubilee
