Arrived in Pollenca Mallorca

Mya and I have taken a quick break to Spain. We caught the train up from Barnham to Gatwick and then an easyJet flight to Mallorca.  Staying in EU Bahia Hotel Pollenca. 



After checking into the hotel, 
we walked out along the waters edge to Casa Marques, near Port of Pollenca and had a delicious meal. 




The weather here is warm but extremely windy. We were blown back to the hotel.

54th Birthday!





 I’ve had a lovely day. The sun was shining. Morning out with Mum in Chichester being spoilt, then curry dinner this evening where we ate far too much and even got surprise cocktails and Happy Birthday cake from the Thyme and Chilli Restaurant.

A New Lease of Life

 I had some very sad looking trainers.  I'd tried to wash them to clean them up but didn't seem to work, so decided to dye them. 

And now I love them!  And have had some lovely comments about them.  Recycling is the way to go.


Purdie loves a Sunny Spot

 Such a little sun worshipper. 


Happy Mothers Day!

 A lovely, but slightly chilly walk around West Dean Gardens today to celebrate Mothers' Day.

It's very special to be able to spend time with 3 generations.  We're very lucky. 
Mum looking as beautiful as ever in stunning pink to match the spring flowers.

100% Optical Show at the Excell in London with Work

A day out with all the team.  So many laughs and lots of fun as well as trying on lots of frames.  So lucky to work with such a fabulous group of people. 

Arrived in London with the sun shining.  

 


  
Got a love a free tote bag!
Jackie and I managed to find the most expensive frames, retail at 2,500pds, but you do get a free handbag with them!

Yet more free bags, the bigger the better!

My haul of goodies to take home to Mya and John.  Enough pens to keep us going for a while!






Pasta Making Saturday

Homemade pasta for dinner, it was delicious. 




School Trip to the Imperial War Museum

 Mya had a fabulous day in London on Thursday with the school visiting the Imperial War Museum.
