Daisy Moon at the Beach

My recent trip away has been such a life saver.

To fall asleep listening to the waves on the shore and wake up to this magical view.

So many individual shops to explore and a few favourites.

I found a gallery full of wonderful paintings and this is the place of my dreams. A small place by the sea with a daisy trail to the front door.

St Ives has so many pretty little side streets with colourful boxed gardens.

And then there was the beach... I can't remember the last time I felt such peace. Just spending time watching my friends little boy playing and exploring his new surroundings. Searching for sea glass and small pieces of driftwood. Feeling the sand between my toes. Memories of childhood...magical.

The hedgerows were full of beautiful dainty flowers...

...and pathways that lead to ...

... secret gardens. A little piece of heaven on earth.

Enjoy your evening my blog friends. x

Beauty all around.

After driving my husband to Newark train station a brown paper parcel was waiting on the door step when I returned.

The Secret Garden ordered from Milly and Dotties Emporium.

It came beautifully wrapped in green tissue paper and tied with string.

And is full of gorgeous illustrations.

I have to confess that I took rather a long coffee break looking through it.

But then back to the real world. I changed the bed and put on my favourite Shabby Chic bedding. The cotton is fabulous and is still feels like new two years after I bought it.

Then to the ironing mountain from last week although I have to say I think my p.j's looked scrummy all folded and ready to wear.

Then finally another wonderful sunset. What a sky. If only I could paint!

Enjoy your evening.
