Good morning! This outfit post is actually what I wore for work yesterday, as this morning I'm off for my second physio appointment for my back, so I'm dressed in incredibly fashionable baggy joggers. The lighting on these photos is a bit off, but it was early (too early for my liking). This is my 'it's sunny' work outfit - wearing a 3/4 sleeve is about as far as it goes! I'm definitely more comfortable in my Winter clothes, but I'm trying to ease myself into a more Summer appropriate wardrobe.

What's your favourite Summer item?

Adventures: Date day at Thurstaston pt 2

Hello lovelies, this is part two of our trip to Thurstaston beach on Monday afternoon. Thurstaston beach has the most stunning views, and runs along the River Dee. It was such a beautiful sunny and clear blue skies kind of day that we could see so far into the distance, it was breathtaking to stand on the cliff edge. There were picnic benches dotted around everywhere, families playing games and a sweet dog called Charlotte who brought the ball for me to throw!

The walk down to the beach is down quite a lot of steps with a wooden handrail, it was exciting going down for the first time through the greenery and woods straight onto the warm sand. On the beach there is a single white building, two houses - how lovely to live right on the beach! Although there were quite a lot of people around, the beach is big enough that you still feel as though there's plenty of space.

We were going to walk the little way over to the cliffs and rocks on the far side, but decided it was just too warm on Monday. We wandered back up the steps (much more effort on the way up!) and found the snack bar where we bought the most delicious ice-cream (that's Charlotte the dog!). I chose Belgian chocolate and Mark chose mint choc-chip, it was seriously the best chocolate ice-cream I've ever had. Deciding that our date day shouldn't end there, we went to a local pub for some pub grub! We had a lovely day and evening just spending time together :)

Sorry to the single folk!!!
