Lovely Happy Things

Tea, knitting and The Great British Bake Off on the telly.

Simple pleasures I enjoyed after a long, busy and tiring day.

Souvenirs from our weekend on the Yorkshire Coast:

 'Life by the Sea' print by Jessica Hogarth,

a wooden Whitby postcard,

a shell shaped soap with a sweet scent and this cute little cactus.

They're all lovely things and they'll always remind us of our happy days
 by the sea.

Markie likes to sing when she's doing her homework.
I didn't know this until this week and it was a wonderful surprise.

I'm now looking forward to helping her with her homework and

hear her singing again.

Purchases Lulu and I made on our way to her playgroup. 

It was my first time to drive there on my own and I parked a

 little distance away because it was just easier. It meant we had to do 

some walking but it was fine because there were charity and vintage

 shops along the way and we had some good finds. I'll definitely

park there again the next time it's playgroup day.

We love it when my husband has days off during the week.

We're usually busy doing various jobs at home, cooking, baking, etc.

 But we also take time to enjoy coffee and pastry in a cafe, take Lulu for 

walks and build her a den in the living room, to talk and just be 

together. I always enjoy these days and we're so lucky to have them.

Friday evening at home: delicious homecooked meal, smiles and

laughter around the dinner table and this view from our front window--
a really happy way to end our week and start the weekend.

I hope you're all having a lovely weekend too. See you soon!
