Are you having a staycation this year?



I was feeling a bit sorry for myself today, thinking about the fact that my husband and I haven't been on holiday since 2010. We aren't going anywhere this year, except for some short visits to Chester and Bristol, so while they are nice places to visit, there aren't really a holiday.

But then I saw this video and thought, that having a stay-cation isn't a bad thing after all.

My holidays tend to be (a) going out on tour with Mr B and (b) cat friendly!
Mind you I might be about to hit a quandry! Mr B may be going on tour to Granada, which is the only place I have 'foreign toured' to and have always wanted to revisit. Umm, they DO have an Ibis in Granada, so the cats COULD stay, but I really don't think at their ages it'd be fair to introduce them to flying!! Am I totally mad even to think this??? Or should I be thinking c-a-t-t-e-r-y?

I love this video. Husband and I haven't had a proper holiday since our honeymoon in 2010. We've been making do with staying at the coast near us which I do love. We have got a couple of fab holidays planned for this year (Paris for our anniversary and Disneyland Paris with Immy the next month) but I'm still planning to book our little cottage by the sea for later in the year as I love it so much. xx

One of my blogging friends is coming over from the States to stay and I'm quite excited at the prospect of taking around and showing her places we take for granted, it'll be like seeing England through a tourist's eyes! x

A staycation sounds nice to me.

I would never contemplate a staycation, it is just so expensive to eat out and do things in this country you may as well go abroad where the weather is guaranteed. If I didn't feel the sun on my old creaky bones for a week once a year, I don't think I could cope!

OOh it sounds like you've all got lots of lovely plans this year and Penny Blossoms I think you'll have to research a cattery. I haven't even considered getting a passport for our dogs as I think Jasper would spend the flight howling and the entire flight would definitely hear it! Looking Fab - I have just found out that I am going to go somewhere sunny in November! Okay so its Benidorm but I am hoping the spend the week with cocktails and tapas. PS I definitely think the UK is too dear for staycations.xx

Spotted on the street

Image
Today, I was 'spotted on the street', well I suppose you could say spotted in the mirror! I've been meaning to do a post on the boots I own but just haven't got round to doing one yet.  So today, as I've started walking to work due to my car being very poorly. The need to get my dogs Jasper and Harvey to and from doggy-day care (my mum's but didn't it just for one second sound like I was Paris Hilton!) means I needed some boots that were made for walking. I usually buy a pair of boots every couple of years, I like to try and find a boot with some detailing that could resemble the vintage footwear like buckles or button detailing.  This pair were one of my last boot purchases bought from Barratts, for around £70, in December 2008 for my planned wedding and honeymoon in Vegas and San Francisco.  Funny story though, I thought I would save these boots for the holidays and choose to leave them in the box untouched until March when I'd be jettin...

where do I start?

I've been neglecting my blog for the past few weeks while I've been suffering from a horrible chest infection.  I've just not had the energy to research shoes and window shop the latest that the high street has to offer. So now I'm dosing up on medicine and determined to get myself back on track. To help kick start my research, I've treated myself to some magazines, including the latest InStyle magazine, with the fabulous Dannii Minogue gracing the front cover. She is one of my favourite style crushes, especially after last year's X Factor.  In my humble opinion, she definitely won the X-Factor fashion crown! In the Style Candy section, they've listed a lovely pair of shoes available at asos.com that meet the nude trend while tickling your fancy with a feather embellishment. These would be lovely for a summer wedding or perhaps a day at the races.  Although I would be quite happy wearing them while doing my ironing! I've learnt  ...

Goodbye 2010

As the door to one year closes, another opens Well 2010 is coming to a close.  It's been a mixed bag of a year: a new government in place, Royal Wedding announcements and the plight on miners trapped underground gripped the world.  For me, there were two significant milestones - my first wedding anniversary and the first year since my sister underwent treatment for cancer with an all-clear (we will have five years of these yearly milestones to go through).  In addition, one of my best friends had her first baby and my cousin got engaged on Christmas Day so we have had a couple of great events, which has made a real change from the last couple of years! This has also been my first year as a blogger, so I wanted to say thank your for popping by my blog, leaving comments and all your support.  I've really enjoyed blogging and hope to continue developing my blog in the year to come. I'm not sure what the new year will bring but I can only wish tha...
