Summer Sale

Calling all Cath Kidston fans - sales now on over here.  I am going for a browse, well it beats ironing and I can drift off into daydreamland and imagine sunny days and warm summer nights.  It's been raining over here all week and we've had the most awful floods.  Luckily, my home is ok but we are surrounded by flooded areas.  Lots of people have had their homes flooded, in some areas the water has been shoulder high! It's terrible. I have been at home all week as the roads in all directions have been flooded.

I am hoping it all dries up quickly and longing for some sunshine!

Fool

Just got back from eating Sunday lunch at my parents.  How nice is it to have your lunch cooked and served to you for a change?  I loved it!  Delicious food and divine dessert, my mum's gooseberry pie.  I haven't eaten gooseberry pie for years, you just don't seem to get it now.  A few weeks ago I was telling my mum how much I missed it and she kindly made one.  It was just as lovely as I remembered.

I loved this fabulous post from Cherry this week.  Go over there for a read.

And this one is very interesting too , which I found after reading Mandas post.

Enjoy your Sunday!

Tasty

Seeing as it had forcast rain today, we went to Xscape, which is a indoor complex containing lots of leisure facilities icluding restaurants, cinema, shops, ski slope, climbing wall, skate park and so on.  I was brave and took some random pictures while out and about (is it just me or does anyone else feel silly when taking pictures in public?) I am trying to get over my shyness because I need pictures for my blog!

Visited the Cinema twice! Oceans 13 & Pirates of the Carribbean 'At World's End' both films very enjoyable and who could complain when they had such a feast of fellas! Orlando, Johnny, George, Matt and Brad. Yum Yum. Even tastier than the popcorn.

Then ate some delicious Peri Peri chicken at

I tried to make my own Peri Peri chicken using Nando's sauce but it just wasn't the same.  Shame.

Note to Weathermen/women - it didn't rain.  Wrong again.

I'm in love.......

.......with this gorgeous fabric.  I am trying to find some online but it seems to be sold out everywhere.  It is from the 'Summer In The City' range by Moda.

(Not that I have time to sew anything with it!)

Washed away...

Well at last I am getting back to normal.  We have been really busy at work and I have been catching up with all my jobs etc.  It is great to have some order again.  I have even have a cleaning schedule. Doesn't mean I'll stick to it but I have one.  lol.  I even banned myself from ebay and car boot sales this week. It was worth it to get everything sorted out.  I hate being behind and bogged down with things to do.

One day i may even do some crafting.  No now I am being ridiculous.

Here are a few pictures from last week.  I am very disappointed as to how my pictures are turning out lately.  I really need a new digital camera, I have had this one for about 4 years and although it was expensive at the time, it is now really dated.  Oh well, at least I dare take it around with me now without worrying about losing it.  I will keep it in my bag and take more pictures as I am out and about.  I always regret not taking enough pictures.  I am envious when i see bloggers who post pictures taken in shops and cafes etc.  I am too shy to do this.  I need to be brave. How do you all do it?

Cliff top walking....

....until we got scared when we discovered half the cliff top had been washed out to sea! We had to walk around it, the path had completely vanished and we had to walk into a field to get further up the coast.  I wonder what is going to happen over the next few years?  Will all this have been washed away?  That is sad.

Stop for a picnic...

We had a gorgeous day at the wedding too.

Runaway Bride?  No just my bad photography.

Seaside

I've been away at the seaside and then rushing off to my brother's wedding for the weekend so no time to post.  I have really enjoyed it all but will be so glad to get back to normal and perhaps do some of the crafts etc that I've been threatening to do for ages.  I have lots of housework and laundry to do first and don't even mention the scary ironing pile that is growing by the hour! I have photos to share too when I get chance to load them onto my computer.
