Berlin break-away


I am off to Berlin next weekend to celebrate our fourth wedding anniversary. The forecast currently says that on Friday Berlin will be anything from 2 to minus 9 centigrade!

Scarves, gloves, jeans, boots and lots of layers is the plan for my capsule wardrobe.   Unfortunately, my idea of getting dressed up for an anniversary meal is 'out of the window' and dressing for warmth is in :(

This Sunday, I also intend to plan ahead for my weekend and decide what I am taking with me.  A lesson learnt from my last weekend away in Bristol when I left it until the night before to pack and ending up taking five pairs of heels for a three-night stay (as I couldn't decide which ones to take).

We are staying for three night and have two full days to check out the city and I'm hoping to see what East Berlin is like as its had considerable re-generation since I was last there in the nineties.  I will have my lovely new camera with me, so I will make sure to take lots of photos to share with you. I am now off to pre-pack!

Have an amazing time hun. Its one place I haven't been and would love too. We always pack into a flight bag so we waste no time hanging around for bags. Comfort and warmth do tend to win over fashion and heels as much as I hate to say it.

Brassed Off (1996)- Danny's speech

Not much I can say but after watching the film 'Brassed Off' for the numerous time, I cried at the fact that although this film was produced in the nineties, our country hasn't improved in terms of employment but there is still hope. RIP Pete Postlethwaite x

My new obsession

Image
A year ago, I decided to do something about getting healthy and making time for exercise.   I'd tried a gym and managed to fall off  a treadmill, my attempt at Zumba was one spin too many and trampolining keep fit resulted in painful knees and a struggle to get up off a train seat. But I've caught the running bug! This time last year I started to go running, after seeing an online post about starting up a small running group.  My early running days were a struggle, barely able to jog let alone run for a minute.  But I stuck to it and can now run for ten minutes nonstop, actually run! The beach promenade is my gym, a early morning run on a Saturday morning is my work out and I am ready for more.  Instead of a new years resolution, I set myself challenges for this year including running my first 5k and by spring I aim to do this. It does mean that some of my footwear choices lately haven't been about the height but more about comfort and speed, but it doesn't me

Shoe of the week

Shoe of the week . . . Really? For the current weather we are experiencing, I should be nominating a pair of waders of the week!  With May apparently going to be the wettest month this year, a pair of wellingtons rather than a great pair of heels is what you need.  But why should they be boring. These wellies from Funky Wellingtons should be enough to brighten any dismal day. Got to protect those paws I can't forget my four-legged friends during the wet weather, our dogs still need to get outside and exercise but it doesn't mean they are waterproof!  So, a set of boots for dogs would be perfect to ensure those lower to the ground are protected from the cold too!.
