What a lovely day

What is your best day?

We feel slightly guilty with everything that is going on in Japan to say that we had a good day today...but you could really see the signs of spring everywhere.


We headed out to a farm in Somerset where they are opening a Yurt Retreat- an adult only camp site under canvas. Check them out here: www.TheYurtRetreat.co.uk (We took the photos for them!)


The sun was shining, we could hear a wood pecker hammering away in the woods and all of the buds on the trees were starting to show themselves....what a fine day we thought as we headed home...then we had a lovely surprise!


We have a follower! We are pleased as punch to welcome our first follower- the lovely Lizzie Powell who has the Pea Pod blog. Click here to see it. oooh...could the day get any better!? 

The powerful sea

Stornoway harbour

We have lived by the sea in the North, South and East of Britain. Seeing the horrific images of Japan live on the news makes as so, so sad. The sea is such a beautiful thing to live by and the thought that it holds so much power to take your life and home is just too horrific to imagine. We are thinking of everyone in Japan and everyone who has been affected by it. 

Trip to the sea side

We went on a little trip to the sea side the other day. It was a beautiful blue skied day, but cold and fresh. So with gloves, hats and scarfs wrapped around us we headed off to the beach in Dorset. 

The first time that we came to this beach we couldn't believe that it was England. The cliffs glow in the sunlight and are filled with fossils! The town West Bay is part of a World Heritage Site.

After our breeze walk we drove to Lyme Regis, but stopped at the Dorset Moores biscuit shop on the way. I just love the sign. 

I chose to buy these coffee sweets rather than biscuits from the Moores shop. That might seem strange, but I love coffee! Grace and Judy prefer tea. 

I just love the packaging!






So eating our goodies we went to Lyme Regis and visited the Town Mill Bakery. I was too excited by the cakes to take photos....only remembered after I had drunk my coffee and was about to tuck into this beautiful fairy cake! Yummy! So click here to see the Town Mill's own photos. 

A dear!

Oh dear we have been very quite haven't we! We didn't mean to be. Things just seemed to take up our time and before me knew it we were in March! 


So this is a promise that we will say hello more often...we have lots of things to tell you...but that will have to wait for now. (Oh what a tease!)


So for now here is a little photo to make you smile....

May all your days be magic
