day trips: to the seaside



Hello lovely people, I told you a few posts ago that I just got a new iPhone 5 in all it's technological glory. I am a bit of a technophobe but I'm managing! One thing which I absolutely adore about my new phone, is Instagram. As you can see above, I can't stop snapping away! You can find me on Instagram here! Can anyone tell me what they use to make Instagram collages for their blog?? I'd much appreciate any help, as this one took forever!! :)

Today, Mark & I went to West Kirby, to see the sea and enjoy the sunshine. West Kirby is just a little drive away from us, whilst Mark was at work I made us a little picnic and we headed off when he got home. This is the opportune moment to point out that Mark made me breakfast in bed this morning before he left for work, complete with pretty daffodil (I know, non-coupled-up-folk are allowed to grab the sick bucket!). West Kirby is a lovely town, the houses are pretty and the whole place is just so picturesque. We ate our picnic on one of the only free benches (did I say how gorgeous the sun was today!), then went for a walk around the edge of the marine lake. I was pretty overdressed, what with my long sleeved top, thick cable knit jumper, coat and scarf & beret! It was cold walking along the sea edge, but when we'd reached the front again we were boiling! Perfect time for an ice-cream/lolly - £2 for an ice-cream & £1.80 for my ice lolly though!!

We both had a wonderful day, I hope you've all made the most of the sunshine too, because apparently the weather's going to change again tomorrow (reliable old British weather!).

  1. Yay! I'm so glad you're enjoying your iPhone and instagram (LOVE instagram so much!). I usually use PicJointer for my collages but I'm sure there's plenty of other free ones as well. :)

    And aw, it seems like you two had a perfect day in the sunshine! xx

    1. Thank you lovely! I hope you got your ice-cream!! I've been craving mint choc-chip ice cream for so long, an ice-cream parlour opened here at the beginning of the year (bizarre time to open I know), and on the next warm day I am definitely going to check it out :) xx p.s. I followed you back on Instagram :)

    1. It is really lovely, especially coming from Leicester and the nearest one being Skegness! I hope you are loving your new phone, it has so many features but I'm hooked on Bejewelled (sad, I know!!). I've already thrown mine down the stairs, which ended in me promptly ordering a cheap case from Ebay, and a gorgeous Audrey Kawasaki GelaSkin from their website :) now to wait for it to arrive and probably pay some customs!! xx
