'I do like to be beside the seaside!'

What a fabulous day I have just had, very adventurous!

I went with my parents to a place about 1 hour and 30 minutes away from where we live. It was much larger than I had expected with craft centres, wildlife and I even found an antiques shop to my delight :)

In this shop I found an adorable 1950s bag which I already love and it was a real bargain! Its difficult to see the detail in the picture below, but it is very pretty and in really good condition!

After having our lunch in a sweet little tea room (Cheese Jacket potato and for dessert chocolate cake :) we drove down the road to a seaside town. It was quite breezy on the beach and my hat nearly fell off! But in the actual town it was very warm and sunny!

Here are some pictures I took below (Hope you enjoy them!)...

(These houses really remind

me of Jane Austen! :D)

When I got home I thought I would look through some family photo albums and found an album that my mum had made up of old pictures of my grandparents taken during the war. The clothes they wear in the pictures are absolutely lovely. I even found a picture of my Mum's dad in the RAF and my Dad's dad in the Navy. Fascinating!

Carnaby Street

Its always lovely to go out for the day with your friends to London or anywhere really! Yesterday was particularly enjoyable. Madison, Ambra, Debra and Me decided to go up to a shop called 'Lazy Oaf' in Carnaby Street because they were having a sale. So after my driving lesson (I got into third gear after many attempts and did a hill start! :) I met Madi and Ambra at the station where we took the C2C to meet Debra. Debra had had her hair cut and it looks really really pretty! By the time we had gotten to the part of London we needed to get to (Because so many different train lines were not running and so a normal 1 hour journey took about 2 hours), Debra had to go back to meet some of her other friends. But it was still GREAT to catch up with her! :D

As we trudged through the rain (yes it was once again raining in July can you believe it?) we reached out destination. The shop was located in the sweetest little place called 'Kingley Court'. The shop was tiny but sold some really nice items. I must admit, I didn't buy anything there like intended, but it was still really nice (probably did my money some good to have a rest! ;) This was until we noticed that located next to this shop was in fact a 'vintage store'! We went in there and it was packed full of beautiful dresses, bags, shoes and hats. They even had a jewelery and hair clip/pin section. My weakness gave in and I bought 3 lovely hair clips (pictured below)...

We went to Covent Garden afterwards and visited a charity shop :) then after getting a bit lost (:s) we walked to the nearest station to get the train back. It was a really lovely (but tiring) day, in which my friends even quizzed me maths questions to help me with future tests! Thank you girls!

Today I am going to visit a place with my parents called 'Snape'. It is a seaside area with a craft centre and restaurant. It should be quite nice considering its already gloomy at 8:25am outside. It may brighten up you never know!

I will post pictures when I get back! :D

Have a nice day!
