Last weekend's post seemed to go down quite well so I thought I would write another Sunday edition of what we got unto this weekend. Saturday was a fairly slow start, I cooked eggs for breakfast and the sight of this smiley one made me chuckle in my bleary eyed state.
We then had errands to run and Jake needed a haircut so we drove to our local town fairly early (11am) before the rest of the world woke up and all tried to get in the same car park...we've played that game before. Alone in John Lewis I perused the Chanel and Clinique counters and made a few cheeky purchases. I also picked up my FAVOURITE bargain find for the summer which I will review on Tuesday.
Home from a busy morning of battling with the masses it was time for a cup of tea and a shortbread. These chocolate chip cuties are from Sainsburys and are a great addition to your coffee table if you have guests, not to mention the adorable scottie dog. Saturday then descended into a typical rainy day of getting bits and pieces organised (I broke out my new accordion file (see Friday's post here).
Sunday was a much brighter day. Laundry out on the line, lunchtime supplies gathered we debated going to have a mooch around a local retail park at some home bits. As soon as we got in the carpark (or should I say queue for the car park!!) we decided that it was not worth the madness and instead we went for a drive in the countryside.
We ventured to a small village called Lapworth where we have half been looking at a house, and my gosh it's beautiful! We parked up and went for a long walk by the canal enjoying the sunshine and half looking for this house. In the end we gave up as we couldn't pin point it and watched as many of the narrow boats made their way through the locks.
A short walk in the other direction along the canal yield the holy ground of a Sunday walk...the Pub! We sat outside in the gorgeous pub garden, Jake had a Cornish Doonbar Ale (can take the man out for the west country...) and I had a lime and soda (living on the edge) and enjoyed the end of a beautiful afternoon.
Getting out into the country is good for the soul and on the drive home we both felt more relaxed and at ease for the week ahead.
Whats your favourite sunday afternoon? I would love to know.
