Thanks for all the responses on my blanket colour dilemma! I will update on that in my next post, as I've been a bit distracted with a lovely break away in Swanage with the Lumberjack!
We had a great time - above is a vase we bought as a souvenir of our holiday. (It looks better in real life actually - the photo looks a bit dreary)
We took the steam train to Corfe Castle...
One day, after a misty walk...
...from Worth Matravers to Winspit...
...and back again, we visited a lovely tearoom in Worth Matravers...
... and rewarded ourselves with a delicious Dorset cream tea!
Scrumptious! That tearoom was probably my favourite bit of the break, it was just lovely. It had a pretty garden too, and even the toilet was nice, with vintage tin signs hung up in it.
Well, I won't bore you with any more holiday pictures! I'm still off work until Monday (yay!) so hopefully next time I will have more crafty things to show you...
For now - it's time to clean, tidy, and go to the supermarket, as I have friends coming round this evening for food and a catch up. I've made a coffee cake for the occasion, but I'm struggling to make myself do the housework! (Anyway, you shouldn't have to have an immaculate home for friends - it's not natural! But I guess I should definitely sort out the food part of the proceedings - it's unfair to starve them, a cake can only go so far...!!)
I am salivating. I love tea scones! And I don't shy away from using butter, jam AND cream. You only live once, right?
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had a super romantic mini break. There's just something about fog too ... I love fog. It makes everything so mysterious and romantic. Lucky you ;)

What a lovely break! The castle looks amazing...oh to have seen it when it was first built! And the cream tea, mmmmm - and personally, I'd rather have a friend who baked me a nice cake rather than clean the whole house for my visit, but I do like cake! Chrissie x
ReplyDeleteI would love that tea-room too, all those wonderful teapots and gorgeous peacock wallpaper!! Gald you had a good time and i hope you had a lovely evening with your friends - any cake left? Sam xx
