pyjama day, lovely friends and a new book

I knew from the moment I woke up that today would be a pyjama day...... filled with naps, reading the weekend papers and looking after myself

Jeff left this morning, and so it was extra special to get a text from a good friend, just checking in and giving me lovely options for my weekend plans

wow....I've been reading a LOT recently..... seems to be the only place my mind is still.... new book tonight :)

Rob, flowers and a beautiful dinner

Robs funeral today.... so sad but in a way, so uplifting. He lived a full and happy life, always with a smile on his face and full of joy. We can all learn a lot from that. Thanks Rob for being such a ray of sunshine, you have inspired me to follow my heart

I came home to a huge bunch of flowers and some beautiful words from my husband. Thank you xxx

we went out for dinner at the Oyster Box. It was a special date, full of emotion, love and strength

family support, Pizza Express and care

a really tough day..... but my awesome family rallied around me, lifted me up and made me feel so grateful for their love

at times like these, Pizza Express is all you need..... simple, consistent and familiar

I felt the love of my husband and family wrap around me tonight like a warm blanket

Cracked black pepper, super quick paddle and BBQ

freshly cracked black pepper rocks

will I ? won't I ? Umming and ahhing.... then a decision and bolt to the beach for a paddle before dinner.....good choice :)

BBQ, Hawkin style

blackberries, beautiful flowers and all about Tuesday night

our little walkway to the office has a hint of autumn showing already..... blackberries glistening in the sunshine

Jess bought me beautiful, beautiful flowers today...... what a gorgeous thought

wow, on Sunday when we realised we were going to have to pull off a bit of a Paris mission, all I could think of was Tuesday night. Thinking about falling into bed when we would have done it all.... so tonight I was pretty happy at the sight of my bed !

waking up in the right place, someone taking charge and Campanile

although the drive was unexpected and long, it did feel kinda nice waking up this morning knowing we were in the right place

someone took charge today..... it felt like a weight off my shoulders.... thank you Frank

straight after the meeting, we jumped in the car and drove back to St Malo..... we arrived at the Campanile Hotel at about 8.30pm, just in time for a pretty yummy dinner and a much deserved bottle of wine

sunny day, Belcroute and Paris mission

a beautiful sunny day spent with friends...... a gift

we spent the whole day lying around on the beach at Belcroute, a little bay that is difficult to get to so always quiet. We swam, we sunbaked and we laughed.

a last minute hiccup meant that Jeff and I had to jump on the boat this afternoon and drive late into the night to Paris. Two things made it good, one was the GPS and the other was the sparkle of the Eiffel Tower as we swept through the city
