Sunday, April 10

dreaming of pebbles

Who would have thought we'd be slapping on the sunscreen and pottering about by the river in early April. Everywhere was bursting with fresh colour, which seemed even more dreamy viewed through my hazy sunglasses and the scent of blossom and freshly cut grass drifted on the gentle breeze.



Feeling the warm sun on my skin makes me feel rather homesick for Brighton- what I would give for an afternoon picnicking and chatter on the beach with our dearest friends.

  3. Wonderful pictures. your girls are looking lovely as usual. I am glad you are here not in Brighton although I miss you.

    My thought's turned to Brighton this weekend and how nice it would be to catch up with friends and sit on the beach. I then thought about the horrendous traffic queues.....whenever there is a bit of sun. In the end I ventured to Tesco and back!!

    see you soon and glad you had a good weekend!

  4. LOVING your photos!
    i have to say i wasn't missing Brighton today (what with the crowds the marathon would have brought in!) we've had a lovely day of park / pub / bbq with friends, although might have to pay brighton a little visit at some point over the holidays!

  6. What beautiful photos of your days and your girls... They look like they should be in a John Lewis advert...

    Summer brings out people everywhere, it was a nightmare getting the smalls back from M&D's in the Peak District.....

  14. Thanks for the info. The little bowl has "PHOENIX" on the underneath. I take it that's different to Pyrex.

    Also I see you used to live in Brighton. I'm hopefully off there one day next week with my mum so any tips on what not to miss would be much appreciated! Thanks, Sal x

  15. What wonderful pictures - thank you so much for sharing! That top pic very much reminds me of Van Gogh's Blossoming Almond Tree (http://www.vggallery.com/painting/p_0671.htm) -- one of my favorites of his.
