Holiday 2012

Last week we finally went on a holiday!  My first for nearly 3 years, and let me tell you, it was a looong time coming, and it was soooooo good!  I just RELAXED the whole time, wonderful!  And I am afraid I didn't really want to come back home to the hum drum of every day life, doing laundry and endless dished, tidying and stressing about getting to places on time. It was so nice to spend hours reading, and putting my feet up, not worrying about cleaning and tidying, playing with Orren, spending time talking to my husband, doing cross words, visiting lovely old houses and romantic ruins, walking on the beaches, not having to be anywhere in particular.  It was bliss.  
We didn't travel far, just to the North Norfolk coast to a little fisherman's cottage in a village called Blakeney.    Thankfully we had some wonderful sunny, if a little blowy days, and only one day of drizzle.  
On our holiday we:
  • Walked along the Quay at Blakeney,
  • Visited three National Trust properties; Felbrigg Hall, Blicking Estate and Oxburgh Hall,
  • Visited two lots of ruins; Binham priory and Baconsfield Castle,
  • Visited three seaside towns and walked on their beaches; Wells-Next-the-Sea, Cromer and Sheringham,
  • Ate lunch at the Blakeney Hotel,
  • Had lots of picnics,
  • Laughed a lot,
  • Took lots of photos:

Easter Sunday

Yes I know it was quite a while ago now, but haven't yet shared with you my photos from the day, so here I am showing off my new haircut and dress.

Yum, 

 View over Rhossili beach

 Some of my lovely family.  I love how we are all lined up in height order from my dad, how cute does he look in his hat?

Did you ever see anything like this?

 Showing off my hair and dress, do you like?

Holiday bliss

Oh joy, oh rapture!  It is finally the Easter holidays, 15 days of work-free bliss, then another two days for the Royal Wedding!  Yipppee! What could be better?  And I feel I truly deserve it, I am totally and utterly exhausted, the past week has been stressful and hard work I really am just going to enjoy myself and relax over the coming two and a bit weeks. Things I am looking forward to include seeing my lovely family, walking on the beach, going to the allotment, sleeping in, Easter (and chocolate of course), more art and craft projects, going places with my hubby and seeing friends.
But right now I am off for a shower and a loooong sleep.
Night night everyone
