I love holidays!!!

I've taken a slightly longer break than planned from blogging - but I'm back! The last week of term was crazy busy, and time ran away with me. I don't know why everything seems to happen at once. I did decorate for Easter, but forgot to take any photos but looks pretty much the same as last year and the year before - I like to create traditions for these things. Same goes for Christmas and birthdays. I'm a creature of habit.

On the last day of term we headed up to one of our favourite spots for a week in a cottage. Northumberland is one of the most beautiful places - full of castles,

sun,

beaches,

snow,

happy dogs,

happy children,

book shops,

and copious pubs for lunch, cafes for hot chocolate, a cosy cottage for cosy evenings, and the opportunity to just chill.

Easter weekend was spent with family on the way home, and then the girls stayed with their grandparents for a couple of days while Andy went back to work and I started getting organised for my second stall at the Bath Road Market, which is this Saturday. Eek.

The last fair was a great success and a fun day out. I'm sad to be losing my sidekick and seller extraordinaire - my sister, but several friends have offered to come and help out, keep me company, and let me buy them cake as thanks!! The Thai food for lunch was a draw for a couple too! If you are in the area please pop in and say hi. You could even join me for a piece of cake from the cake stall - my diet starts on Monday when I go back to school, so I will be making the most of it while I can!!

Ooh, good luck today! As I type - still in my pyjamas and sprawled on my bed - you've probably been up for hours hard at it!! ;-)

Sounds like you've had the loveliest break. My inlaws used to live in that neck of the woods, it really is quite beautiful. I've been having a really strong yearning for the sea recently which probably stems from living about as far away from a coastline as is possible in this country. I'm trying to 'fill my boots' vicariously through other people's photos!

Enjoy the rest of the weekend my friend.

We have had some brilliant winter holidays up there, one Christmas there was ice on the beach which looked amazing.
And who can resist Barter Books!
