A Bank Holiday Monday blog.....

Good evening everyone,
Well, it doesn't seem possible that our lovely 3 day weekend has come and gone so quickly!  As always, there was a lot to do and not enough time to do it all in - that does seem to be a fact of modern life.....
Anyway, after a really hectic week both on the work and home front, I decided to have a fairly quiet Friday night to recover from the week.  Last week saw me meeting up with the two friends whom I run a meditation group over in Berkswell with on Monday evening, then caught up with another friend for dinner on Tuesday. Wednesday was my home meditation group evening and this month we were joined by a new lady which was lovely.  Thursday night was my normal meditation group over in Leamington - always (and I do mean always!) an interesting evening, so by Friday I need to just be able to chill out and relax.

Saturday was catching up with Louisa and the lovely ladies at the Beadelicious Bead soiree in Bulkington - we made bag charms this month (see photo below!).  Once home, my daughter and I popped up to our local Next store as I still had a voucher from Christmas which needed spending (yes I know, how on earth did a Christmas voucher last this long.....).  I find with Next I could either spend an absolute fortune or there is nothing in there that takes my fancy!  This time though I did manage to fall in love with some coloured chino's  which will be just lovely for our holiday in Edinburgh and also a matching top.  Slightly worried about the top as in the shop whilst trying it on, one side of the 'V' neck kept lying at a funny angle.  I'm hoping it may have been the security tag that did that, so we'll have to wait and see.  The chino's will also go very nicely with the two tops I bought in H&M back last month whilst in Leamingto Spa.

Yesterday we took a lovely trip down to the Cotswolds, which for us here in Warwickshire means driving down the Fosse Way which I gather is the old Roman road but which, unfortunately, always seems to attract mad drivers (my current pet hate!) - especially motorbike riders.  We stopped in Stow in the Wold and had a lovely walk around and then a very nice lunch - which we later followed with an ice-cream!  Well done to my daughter for the suggestion!  We then also had a late evening walk around Rugby, so plenty of exercise yesterday.

Today has seen some catching up - on washing, shopping, dog walking etc plus a late lunch with a friend but hasn't it been a glorious day.  Lets hope the weathermen were right when they said a heatwave for May!
As mentioned above, this is the bag charm I made yesterday at the Bead Soiree! These can be made to order in any colour you like!

Enjoy what's left of the Bank Holiday weekend,
with love from Fat Fairy Jewellery
