The start of summer? & hint of a makeover ;)

Good afternoon from Sunny Suffolk :)

Hurrah the weather has taken a turn for the better :)

Today's post is rambling & disjointed - lots of little things to share with you all :)

First of all - the summerhouse. Little son & I have been painting inside today - I did the edges & he did the filling in bits - I think he really enjoyed it (trust me it looked much better after the 2nd coat);

More photos to follow another day when its more finished.

I made some bunting at the end of last week - lots of it is destined for the summerhouse to brighten it up and this length was a request from my eldest niece;

Sometime last week I received the most gorgeous smelling parcel - this time not a swap but an order from a lovely little company I have discovered - 4kandles. They do a gorgeous range of tarts that you put into burners - instead of the huge ones that are hard to break up these come as 4 smaller flower shaped pieces in a pack.  There is a huge range of scents and you can mix & match them together. Our favourite here is the Red Hot Cinnamon mixed with Golden Delicious - we've nicknamed this mix - Mom's Apple Pie :)

I ordered a couple of things - this pretty little cupcake tea-light holder for me;

and this scrummy campervan burner & a selection of melts for my next giveaway - haven't quite decided when that will be - sometime soon - depends when I can find the other items I want to include ;)

Last but not least - I can't believe its June already - where is the year going to? Now June means only one thing - the bloggy meet in Southwold - Sunday June 27th in the afternoon?? I know we've got quite a few interested people - are there anymore?

Sunny Sunday

What a lovely sunny day its been here in Suffolk - slightly crisp and misty first thing and then by mid-morning gloriously warm.

We headed out to our favourite carvery pub for a family lunch - as a treat for big son who has had a week of achievements and successes.  First of all he got elected as class rep on the school council, then selected to represent his school in a big inter-school science/general knowledge quiz at the TV studios in Norwich and then finally got results of his first big maths assessment since starting high school (3 tier system here) and he's top of the whole year of 150 kids :)

Best bit - despite only charging for him as a child (he's bigger than me) - he got a full adult portion of meat and most importantly an adult sized plate for him to fit completely to the brim - do wish I'd taken a photo.

After that we headed to here -

Had a quick look in all the little shops - resisted temptation to buy anything!!

Then headed along the prom towards the harbour;

Past the gorgeous beach-huts - if I ever win the lottery I will buy one of these;

Stopping at one of the kiosks for one of these;

Last but not least - this was parked on the high prom - another part of my lottery winning wishlist!!

All in all a rather lovely day.  Hoping to top it off by winning some CK fabric on ebay tonight so I can start on my first project from the Sew book - my very own Stanley!!
