Cath Kidston

I've liked Cath Kidston for several years, and I love going in her shops! Today I have been looking through a collection of her magazines (I like to look back at the old ones). I love the use of colours and print, and every page is so pretty! Some things are a ridiculous price, but I simply wait for the sales! As yet I haven't had a 'bad' item, the things I've purchased have lasted. How do you feel about Cath Kidston products? I'd love to hear you think.

Anyway here are some pics to inspire.....

 I might take some photos of the Cath Kidston items I have and share those with you.

Sunshine & Showers

Last week we had a few days away on the boat, it was a wonderful break before I start my PGCE. Here are a few photos from the week;

 

beautiful flowers

 

a glimmer of sunshine

coffee and a good book

 

catching up on some crochet

then back home to reality to unpack the bags and start the washing!

I hope you've managed to enjoy some of the later summer sun x

thank you

I took part in Laalaa's All Things British Swap and was paired with the lovely Victoria from Tangled Sweetpea.Yesterday my parcel of treasure arrived (I love getting parcels and letters in the post).

So here's what Victoria sent, all wrapped up in tissue paper:

Lot's of lovely presents:

Union jack coasters, Paper Chains, Tea Cakes, Union Jack Trolley Token, Cake Decorations and my favourite a beautiful Handmade Flower Brooch!......Thanks again Victoria x

Here are a few photos to show what I've been up to:

 

Working

 

Harvesting

Walking

Discovering Hidden Houses

P.S I have failed on the 'photo a day challenge' after 1 week- oopps!

Photo A Day

I've decided to take part in August 'Photo A Day' I have to confess at first I found it hard to remember to take the photos, but a week later and I'm doing well! Rather than save all the photos up through the month (and remember not to delete them) I have decided to upload them weekly. So here goes.....

1. OUTSIDE

2. ONE

3. COIN

4. SOMEWHERE YOU SAT

5. LOGO

6. WRITING

7. 8  O' CLOCK

the weekend

On Friday our bags were packed for a weekend at the boat!

I had a lovely relaxing weekend which included some reading, baking, walking, crochet & gardening  (we now have a little garden area by our mooring!)

On Sunday we had a nice suprise as some fellow boaters came to say 'hello' and brought us some homemade scones-yummy!

The sun has been in and out, with wind & rain showers-very confusing! 

What's a girl to wear? Today for me it was a pretty dress with a cotton cardigan and a thin parka for the occasional showers.

A sunny morning

Today I didn't start work until 10:30, which meant I had some time before work to....

sit in the sun and finish reading my book 'Katie Fforde: Living Dangerously' 

 

catch up with some crochet

do some washing and peg it out to dry in the sun!

All change!

The weather has eventually changed from rain to sunshine. 

And my life is going to change.....

I have now got a place on a PGCE course, so I can become a primary school teacher!!

(I was high on a reserve list, which I didn't know about- as the uni weren't allowed to tell me)

Finally I am hoping my strawberries will change from green to red!

Thanks for reading- enjoy the sunshine x
