High Summer

Another fashion snippet, I have just received an email from Noa Noa showing their High Summer collection. Apart from the beautiful breezy clothes there are lots of great ideas for simple ways to entertain yourself this Summer, beach combing, caravaning, playing chess. I haven't played chess for years, not since my Dad taught me as a child.

Last day of summer

I have to work three out of every four Saturdays and Dean is off to Vegas for a trade show next weekend. So I think this will be the last summer day out for us. Long drive. Beach walk. Pebbles and sand dunes. Hot coffee. A jar of dark chocolate biscuits that I managed to fit into my oversized handbag. Hope you are all enjoying the final days of this brief season.

Next time all the leaves will be red turning brown and we will walk in the woods. I am thinking of investing in a pair of these boots for each of us. Practical and cosy. It does get very muddy and quite treacherous in the woods around here. Think I might draw the line at the matching waxed attire?

Sea breeze and cream tea

I have barely set one foot on the beach yet this year even though I live only two streets away from the seaside. But it has been a weird summer hot, brooding and stormy, which I like but I like from indoors. A perfect weekend for me would be setting up camp in a shabby beach hut. Picnic, cream, jam, scones, flask of hot chocolate, tin mugs to drink it out of. Yum.
If the sun decides to shine this saturday the husband and I will go to whitstable for the day. Hope we can get a table at Wheelers oyster bar. Must pop in to Frank too.
How would you spend your perfect weekend? If it does include a picnic, find inspiration here, here, here, here, here, here and here.
