Friday night update

Thanks very much to the lovely Gem who writes  http://dreamsofalifeinthecountry.blogspot.com/ for thinking me worthy of this award. I've followed her blog for quite so time now and wrote a guest post over there at Christmas which was fun. Hop on over and see what she's been up to recently.

I'd like to pass this award on and will do so over the next couple of days.

In the meantime, here's my latest cherry tree purchase. A French Connection skirt from YMCA for £4.99.

Net and velvet ribbon. Lush

Can I tell you about a brilliant book that I keep dipping into? My copy is so well thumbed, although not helped by the fact I dropped it in the bath last week. It's all about bringing life back to basics, picnics on the beach, places to go, gift ideas and how to relax and oh I just love it. My friend bought it for me when we relocated and I urge you all to read it.

I am also reading this again, as I love it. Found this in a cherry tree shop for £1.50.

And this is the book club choice this month. I have til March 28th to finish it, and am currently on page 26. I take an age to read a book and the library tells me I can only have it for a week. Great. Pressure! Really enjoying it though.

Tomorrow the weather is meant to be wet and not nice. I feel sad about that, it's the husband's weekend off and we had plans to get out and about.

Ah well, I shall still sneak out in waterproofs to see my true love.
