A week away - part two

Why is it a week away is never as long as a week at work?

The last day of our holiday came oh so quickly, we decided to become proper tourists and took

a trip on the " Seaton Tramway" with a strapline like "it's electric!" how could we not?

One you've paid you can go up and down the line to Colyton as many times as you like. I found myself waving a complete strangers and grinning like a mad woman. On arrival we had breakfast in the cafe (bacon and eggs butties washed down with tea!)

Seaton Tramway operates narrow gauge heritage trams between Seaton, Colyford and Colyton in East Devon's glorious Axe Valley, travelling alongside the River Axe estuary through two nature reserves and giving an unrivalled view of the abundant wading bird life.

Me trying to enjoy having my photo taken!

Our last night came soon enough and we were packing up to return home and back to the realities of work :(

Bye Bye Devon x

We stayed at Byre at Bulmoor a converted stable

Missing in instagram

Has it really been 4 months since my last post? Shame on me! The Summer weather was just too good to miss (no excuse) When we last spoke I was just about to go to my home village fair,  which lead me to meeting friends and villagers I haven't seen for twenty years or more. These chance meetings lead me to a builder (husband of friend) who then did work on our house, we also had new windows & doors as well as painting the outside (TOH) did that and a great job he did too. 

All of this is fairly unglamourous, but has been punctuated with nice things too

So in pictures a few of my adventures in my missing months. 

The Village fair, bet they regretted that idea!

Make London for a lovely hen do!

a bit of making!

Some of you may have seen some of these photos as I have been on Instagram all summer, youcan find me @katysclutter come and say hello!

Holiday Days out : part three

With the weather still playing ball (!) Bob and I packed out beach bags and heading for Climping, a lovely beachy area nestled between Littlehampton and Worthing in West Sussex. Giving credence to the rumour that we're old before our time, we took a packed lunch, beach chairs, books, change of cloths and of course our windbreak!

We parked our car, made camp and went and got a fresh tea (natch) then spent 4 hours vegged out with our books and nibbles - perfecto!

Our boot fair fabric windbreak, purchased three years ago for the bargalicous sum of £2.50!

A constant beach necessity...

Every now and then a girl needs time just relaxing!

after an afternoon of total relaxation and slight wind burn, feet and knees (?)

we headed for a bite to eat and a meander along the Pier at worthing, then back in the car and home. 

Boo...

Beachy Peachy

This week Bob and I have had a whirlwind of days out, for once the weather's been good to us.

A proper holiday snap shot to follow but now I'm off to bed!

Tomorrow we're off to Ardingly collectors fair…hope it's still sunny!

A New Day

I'm trying blogger for the first time, I normally use Typepad but thought I'd see if the grass is greener!


As this my first post I thought I'd just add some pictures to get a feel of how it operates, and you can see what i'm all about!

 

That's me, what I love and what I get up too!
