29/52
How glorious the sunshine and blue skies have been this week. I kept reminding myself about what a horrid Winter we have had and tried to bask in the beauty of real Summer of 30+ degrees. I have one more week at work then hip hip hooray 2 weeks off when we will be going to Barcelona and up the coast to Tossa de mar. I can't wait!
So, how has your past week been? Mine seems to have developed into a funny little pattern of it's own, working then getting home to cycle down to the seaside for a dip and cool off and lie down and relax on the beach followed by alfresco eating and sitting outside with my little family and our bunny until the sunsets. It was almost like being on holiday :o)
Here are some of my little happy moments from this week....
Never being just satisfied with soaking up the sun, I always set myself a little challenge of finding pretty pebbles and shells that are in my immediate reach and making pretty collages with all the patterns, textures and shapes.
I can promise you that I never take it for granted that we live by the sea and I embrace and celebrate this always.
Alice and I made some thin crispy pancakes for dessert this week and filled them with cinnamon, honey and vanilla ice-cream, yum!
Squeeling with delight with all my guerrilla gardened poppies (in the front of our terraced house we have a pebbled garden which was crying out for me to scatter seeds a couple of years ago)flowering this week. I love that these self seed and cannot wait for how many more I may have next year.
Happy happy to see my roses coming out on our front door step. I planted them in an old watering can I bought for �1 about 2 years ago. It already had a few punctured holes in the bottom, so perfect for planting in. One day, I'd like to treat myself to a David Austin sweetly scented rose to greet us each morning as we head on our way with rose scented air. The other flowers were picked on one of my cycles.
Loving this delicious magazine a friend bought for me for sewing her a couple of cushion covers.It's �8 a pop, but only comes out every other month and feels more like book rather than mag quality to me. I shall treasure this Summer edition.
Being a little bit heart pounding when Alice casually told me that she was one of six who had been chosen out of 205 children in her year for an excellence in drama award and performing in her showcase last night was a wonderfully proud moment seeing her express herself so well and surprising us that she had had this little talent hiding away. She has had a difficult last term at school with some jealousy related picking on her and its been a very emotional time for us. I don't want to go into it too much here on my blog and it won't be easy for me to hold back the tears, but I wanted to log that last night I saw a new confidence, I saw our girl in her element and I saw her skipping down the corridor. I could not have asked for anything more.
