I Woz Ere...cold air and sunshine

Cold enough for a warm pink coat...
(charity shop £5.00) But not 'too cold' to sit outside and drink Pret Coffee, yum.

Warm enough to stroll past the freshly painted Sun Huts...

But too cold to sit outside with a beer

(just loved the cute little 'table and chairs on the side of a pub' idea here)

Warm enough to run around taking "me and my sisteeerrrr" style photos...

But too cold to linger long in any one place
(raaaa, cool shop!)

Definately warm enough to sit and look out at the sea whilst eating lunch...

But chilly enough to need to keep your gloves on and save the orange till you get home

(have you tried peeling an orange whilst wearing gloves?)

Still so cold you need several socks and stolen UGG boots...

(stolen from my sister of course)

Warm enough, cozy enough, relaxed enough, for an afternoon snooze on the sofa.

Fishes in Brighton for a wee holiday.

Cold air and glorious sunshine :)

I am going away for a few days...

...and as if by MAGIC, the craft gods smiled on me and just LOOK what the postman passed me this morning... three yummy crafty and inspiring publicatoins. I only took them from their cellophane to photograph for you - they have gone straight into my overnight suitcase all readyfor my trip... And as a sort of 'p.s' i meant to tell you - i was given the Cath Kidston MAKE! book for my birthday the other week.
Like many designer / makers / crafters i was ready to 'hate it'... but i don't! It is fun and inspiring and cute and full of easy little projects. I like it!

It is just like most of my other craft books... i have no plans to make anything specific from them, but i like the ideas and the photography and the whole concept. A bit of crafty eye-candy never hurt anyone x

A glimpse into Cath's latest catalogue... i will be swooning over this with my Mum and my Sister on our mini-weekday break...

So, .... where am i going? ummmm - don't go hating on me just because I am having a break and i so very much deserve it...

Don't go hating on me because all i will need to take is clean pants, a few good reads and the items below:

I am going to 'Champneys' darling x if you please - HERE to be precise.

What was long ago termed a 'spa' and is now a 'health farm' or 'relaxation break'...

hooray for me, my sis and my mum - we do try to go away every year at least for one night but this year we have managed 2 nights.

It might sound like a boast but it really isn't x promise! We haven't hadn't a proper holiday in years and this was a birthday treat for each of us who have a birthday within 3 weeks of each other. It is our Mummy and Daughter love-in time and i hope one day i will do such things with my girl? But, for now, she can have 'Daddy Time' as THIS is grown-up ladies only! x x x

P.S I'm on Holiday!

I'm just having a short break in the South of England for a week. Be back on Friday 19th September. Don't miss me too much x

A little light reading for the lazy days....
