Spending time with my mummy. She lives in the Lake District which is about 250 miles away from where I am so I don't get to see her nearly as often as I'd like. I went up for a visit this weekend but didn't tell her I was coming so that it could be a surprise for mother's day. This is me and the mothership back in 2008 when she remarried & I was her bridesmaid - very surreal to be in the wedding party for one of your parents :)
Having to pay a customs charge on a recent order from the US. Actually, the customs fee I can cope with - its the additional £8 handling charge that Royal Mail added on that really stings :(
I finally got my paws on some camel jeans. After the ASOS ones I ordered didn't fit I actually changed tactics and got them from Miss Selfridge instead. This is what they look like...
Jean like and camel coloured not surprisingly..! Sorry for the stock picture too, being a proper lazy bum! I also got some nice bits & bobs whilst at my mum's but will do a proper haul post on them some time this week.
Cucumber sandwiches, scones, cakes and champers! For mother's day I treated my ma to afternoon tea at a hotel overlooking Lake Windemere. This was the stunning view out over the gardens and lake...
and this was the scrummy view of our table laden with goodies!
