Dreaming of... A Trip to the Beach

This month we're dreaming of a trip to the seaside. Hopefully Southwold!

Last time we went was in 2007, with Malc's family. This time we might get to take our twin cousins, who're two. Sandcastles, ice creams and a pint of Adnams- Yes please!

Dreaming of... A Real Garden

Grape hyacinths, box frame wall display, peonies, mossffitti, a dining area and a beautiful copper fire pit.

I'm dreaming of a real garden, not a big one, just bigger than the three windowsills we have the moment. In it we'd plant: flowers that could be cut and given as cheer-up gifts, herbs that wouldn't have to be watered every second day and some fun mossffitti. I'd love to have a space to feed guests and hang out with a beer... a fire pit would be an amazing bonus. 

Failing all that I'd settle for some indoor garden improvements.

A cut flower chandelier, tables to extend window growing spaces, hanging test-tube light and flowers, dozens of loosely tied roses, hanging spring bulbs and a colourful cactus garden.

Dreaming of.... Camping

We're daydreaming about a little break: camping in the countryside, in the springtime. Fingers crossed we'll go over Nom's birthday, and there'll be little lambs, daffodils, birds singing in the trees... We'll see. 

Anyone got any tips? What should we pack, what should we plan? 

Luxurious 'essentials': bunting, a torch, a little cosy tent, a warm hat, wooly socks, candles,  double sleeping bag and hot water bottles

Eating & Drinking. For the perfect drinks: our favourite mugs, a cafetiere, a bottle of rioja, a flask for soup, a hand grinder and a volcano kettle. For snacking: caramel hot chocolate, croissants, cup-a-soups, tinned fruits and variety cereal packs. The last time we went camping was in Busselton, Western Australia. It was at least 35˚C and by the warm, blue sea. However, the average max temperature for April in the UK is more like 12˚ (and this March was the coldest for 50 years!). Are we mad? P.S ARGH, how utterly sick in my stomach does this make me feel?!
