Badge r

Car boot sales are amazing - a staple event of the British summertime. You should check them out if only to see all the pugs that frequent them! They are the perfect place to pick up those rare cast offs that people have had stored in drawers for the past 20 years. Pictured is a collection of badges we bought this morning for 40p - now that's going to make your day! I wonder who thought to put 'I heart Deutsch!' on a badge!? Brilliant stuff!

Balmy Summer's Eve

I had the loveliest day yesterday! We went into London at lunch time to meet lovely Davina who is in a whirlwind of baking at the moment. She even baked the most delicious scones for us to have cream tea! Then we went to Hyde Park armed with a picnic, and listened to Vampire Weekend, which was ace. All that, then back on the train to lie on the floor of the kitchen looking out and enjoying the gorgeous summer evening. I took the photo at about 10.30pm, and it was still gloriously light. I'm not great with high temperatures, but these evenings are worth every moment of discomfort...

Summer Is Coming

What's going on at M & S? Sometimes (and usually when you aren't expecting it) they come out with a classic! I love these new aviator sunglasses from the Autograph range - I actually found them in The Guardian's best buy accessories for men. Will they suit me is a different conversation, but I like them none the less. This must have summer accessory will set you back £29.50.
