Feeling nautical

Sarah has to make a lighthouse as part of a school project so I have been searching for some design inspiration for her.  Between the lighthouses and Emma's latest stripe obsession, I am feeling quite nautical......

Longing for Scotland

I have days when I get a longing for Scotland and today is one of those days.  It probably has something to do with the fact that a year ago today Emma, Sarah and I were sitting at Heathrow waiting for our connecting flight to Edinburgh. When we landed it was a similar day to what it is here today – sunny, bright and green with a nip in the air but oh so beautiful.  

Weekend Walk

Its a cold, grey Sunday but we picked up a takeaway and ate it next to the ocean before going for a walk - the dogs were especially happy!
