My world today...

Happy Monday to you. Just a little insight into my world today, I am afraid it's rather suburban; washing lines and school spelling tests. It's a beautiful sunny day and I have been for an early morning power walk with my Mum through the countryside, reminding myself yet again how wonderful it is to live here. Only a couple of weeks left of school and then the summer off, who would have thought?

We spent the weekend looking at senior schools for Boo - now that feels like it's going to be the decision of the decade; where is it best to send her? Academic emphasis or sport? Ugh, if only I had a crystal ball. Sunday we went to the most perfect garden party looking out over the water, watching the boats go by. The de-stress continues in earnest...

  1. What a gorgeous post....so British and beautiful....oh, that you had room for me in your guest-room! We went glamping in Suffolk this week-end...exhausting but lots of fun and a glimpse of the fabulous British countryside and beach at its finest.

    The school dilemma....am SO with you on that....UGH!!

    I love a flypast....great shot of the Red Arrows :)

  3. Hey Gorgeous! Loving all your photos.. so pretty! And senior school decisions? Gosh.. I can't even begin to think about what that must feel like - I can't believe that in a few more weeks, yet another school year will be over and done with. Time is going so fast. Glad you enjoyed Wimbledon.. I would have gone just to see all the Ralph Lauren blazers alone! xxx
