Places and Spaces

The past month has been a busy one. An eclectic mix of a trip to Foxton Locks, 3 weddings, a drive around the New Forest, Date night in Portsmouth, a charity raffle and a visit from my parents and their gorgeous little pooch Boo.

The next few weeks will be spent making things for upcoming craft fairs and getting involved with the Southsea Sisters independent women's group. Exciting things are a comin'!

What have you got to look forward to over the next few weeks?

Annual Leave Love

It took 3 alarms this morning for me to wake from my coma like state... I then realised that after 9 lovely days off, I had to go back to work today.

So what did I get up to during that much needed time off I hear you cry...

I'd entered a few photographs so was really pleased to see them displayed!

I can't believe it's April already. Where did March go?!

The weather here has been beautiful for the last week or so. Highs of 23 degrees in March are usually laughed at but not this year. Southsea common became a haze of BBQ smoke, the beach was busy and people were out in force just lapping up the unseasonal amazing weather.

My toes had a fresh coat of polish for their first 2012 outing! 

Some friends of ours had a BBQ up at their lovely cottage in the countryside. Us girls cooed over 8 week old baby Monty and chatted away in the sunshine, whilst the boys played Rugby and other games including Archery. (Which may I add I had a go at and beat them all. HA!) Captain the dog was looking a bit left out so I played fetch with him for a while and sneakily fed him a few scraps from lunch. I'm a sucker for those puppy dog eyes...

On Wednesday, Haz and I went for a midweek bite to eat. After stuffing ourselves at one of our favourite bar/restaurants, we decided a nice long walk home along the seafront was in order. A walk and a quick unscheduled stop at the arcades! The 2p and 10p machines entertained us for quite a while. We're both big kids really, such a funny end to the day.

I hope the weather was as nice where you were. What did you get up to?

Busy Goosey Bee

The last few weeks have been busy with trips to see my lovely mum, running a stall at my first craft fair and work amongst other things, so blogging has taken the back seat for a while.

This weekend has been beautiful in most of the UK. A lovely little heatwave for the time of year. Windows open when driving, french doors open at home and going out with just a cardi. No coat, Amazing! Living on the south coast is great, in 2 minutes I can be at the beach or on the common. Today I took advantage of this so me and the dog went for a walk... Ozzy is a Cocker spaniel cross with err we don't know and belongs to Harry's mum.

We had a nice little adventure across the common, down the seafront and then we stopped for afternoon tea at the Castle cafe. I documented some of it on Instagram...You can follow me on there @lucygooseyb

As if butter wouldn't melt.

Hope you had a lovely weekend and it was sunny where you were!
