I don't know if anyone has ever read or seen 'The Darling Buds of May' but I would definitely recommend it. It's one of my mum's DVDs which I always borrow :s and is a series set in the 1950s in Kent, England. It is so funny and has really warm, and light hearted story lines. The clothes in the programme are also wonderful! Catherine Zeta Jones just looks stunning the whole way through the series and I love the way she does her hair! The dresses the girls wear are very pretty and are always lovely colours, the dress Mariette (Catherine Zeta Jones) is wearing in the photo above is one of my favourites, and the men's suites, including Pop Larkin's are so sweet! :)
At the beginning of the week I wrote an email to one of my favourite Authors: 'Paige Toon', congratulating her on her new book: 'Chasing Daisy'. I wasn't expecting to get anything back, but when I went on my computer this morning and logged onto Facebook I saw she has written a message on my wall :) I was very happy that she had taken the time to email me. I am also happy because she is writing a new book called 'Lilly' which is coming out around this time next year! :) I have read all of her books and I think she is just amazing! :D
I must admit that I feel quite nervous today. I'm going to a university open day, but I always get so nervous when I go to places I don't know. I reckon it will be fine when I get there, but the build up always gives me butterflies!
I hope everyone has a lovely day! :)
Lots of love,
Kirsty .x.

I know what you mean...I always feel the same way when I go somewhere with which I'm not familiar. I'm sure it'll be fine though - I hope you have a great day:)
Thanks for the tip about The Darling Buds of May; I'll have to check it out.
Good luck at the open day! Just think about your note from Paige any time you feel nervous, because that is truly awesome!! xox Amanda
Good Luck, Kristy! University open days can be very fun. You may meet some wonderful people (that's the best part).
The Darling Buds of May sounds great! The women in yellow looks stunning. I'm assuming that's the gorgeous Catherine Zeta Jones.

That book/film is new to me, thank you, I love the idea of Catherine in a vintage setting! :)
Best of luck to you, honey - I'm the same way, I always get far more nervous about situations than what is warranted. I'm sure everything will go well for you.
Oodles of hugs,
♥ Jessica
