Goodies

 I booked a day's holiday - it's so nice to get up late on a Saturday and potter about without having to worry about the time.  I finished my book 'Heaven is for Real' - it's such a lovely read, I recommend it.  Now I'm off to the  'Harry Potter' library to choose more books, followed by a swim, a nice relaxing day.

favourite library - worth a short drive as it's so much nicer than my nearest!

Just when I thought I was all birthday'ed out... there has been post - these beautiful flowers and chocolates came from my blogging pen pal Annie this morning - Annie and I were partners in a swap a few years ago, we have kept in touch by emails, have often exchanged little packages here and there and become sort of pen pals.  Thank you ever so much Anne - chocolates are delicious and the carnations really fresh - they smell wonderful too. xxx

 The picture doesn't do them justice - they arrived beautifully boxed with card, in celophane, fresh and fragrant.  Chocolates neatly tucked in so as not to damage the flowers.  I am very lucky to have kind friends.

 Remember the swap I took part in last year and this pretty picture that my partner Claire sent me?  I love this vintage style print and have the picture on display in our downstairs bathroom which has a seaside theme.

So when I found this dress for my Summer holidays I knew it was reminding me of something, it took a while to realise why! 

Although The style isn't my usual I have lost weight so feels very comfortable to wear and is lined so hangs well.  I was lucky to buy online in the sale and with a further discount plus free delivery from Boden.  I bought a few other things in their sale too, will show you next time.

Hope you're enjoying your weekend as much as me.  Bye for now.
