Some shots from the Seaside

A few pictures from our weekend in Hastings with the in-laws. Despite the gloomy predictions the weather really held up for us, unfortunately having packed for showers I ended up spending most of the time in my pyjama leggings to stop me roasting like a spring leg of lamb. Most of our time was spent perusing the abundance of second hand and antique shops, we also found the best car boot sale I've been to in years and came home loaded with goodies. Fab.

How did you spend the bank holiday weekend? Was it sunny where you are?

It's been a long time...

I am attempting to make a return. For the first time in many a day my darling little flower is taking a nap not in my arms, ah bliss. As much as I love her squishy little face breathing softly beneath me the joy of being able to straighten my shoulders and move freely is immense.

Despite not yet being three months old poor little Iris is lost in the woes of teething. Not being a fan of Calpol we've been struggling. Bonjela only works periodically and unfortunately the amber teething necklace doesn't seem to be doing a thing. Now we will be trying a hazelwood teething necklace and some homeopathy. Hubble is as always very sceptical, but I'm willing to give anything a go.

The weather here has been beautiful and we escaped back to the greenery of Bath for the first time since Bean arrived. It was bliss. What did you do to enjoy the sunshine? We're off to Hasting so hoping for some more sun. Enjoy the bank holiday.

A Sad Day

Today I have a sick baby and it breaks my heart.

Beautiful Bathroom

Soon we will be getting a new bathroom. I hope it will be as beautiful as this one.

Some Lovely Things

The lovely Peter and Nerissa of The New Domestic are creating goodies to fill the homes of us not so blessed in the creative/design area. Yeay! Shop opening in the Spring,

In My Dreams

I have a  large stairwell filled with this chandelier. Failing that, private stairs would do. Oh, how I long for a house.

Weekend Excursion: Columbia Road Flower Market

On Sunday, after nearly six years of living in London, I finally visited Columbia Road Flower Market.

After a coffee with friends we squeezed our way through the crowds and densely packed stalls under rays of beautiful spring sunshine. As lovely as the flowers were there are only so many stall you can walk past before they all look the same. The shops, on the other hand, are brilliant and really varied. I think I may make a trip back on a regular day so I can peruse at leisure without the crowds.

Next week it's our NCT reunion lunch so there will be no outing but I am compiling a list for all the other Sundays to come. I'm always on the look out for inspiration, so if you have any ideas please share!
