Nothing better than waking up to the sunlight pouring in through the window...

Monday Morning Pic-Me-Up: Valencia photo diary

For my birthday, the boyf bought me flights to Valencia for three nights, for a lovely long weekend away in the Spanish city. Back at work today but still dreaming of the sun.

These are a few of the photos we he took:

A little teaser for some photos coming soon from my Sunday morning stroll around the Columbia Road Flower market:

Hope you've all had a nice weekend, what did you get up to?

In case you missed it in amongst my various ramblings – last weekend I was in Ibiza to celebrate my birthday and to experience the opening parties at Café Mambo and Es Paradis! Both parties were on Friday (20 May) and so we headed to Café Mambo early to catch the sunset – which is said to be one of the most spectacular in the world. To add a little fun to the girls’ weekend I took my Polaroid camera with me and we all got a photo of the sun setting to remember the night. Truly beautiful.


It seems anyone who is anyone is heading off to Ibiza this summer to catch some rays and some music! Are you planning a trip to the party island?

Guest Post: Monday Morning Pic-Me-Up

I'm back from my holidays today but before I touch down in the UK, another of my favourite bloggers, Jill of Street Style London, is guest posting this morning by showing us some of her favourite photos:

Jill told me these photos were, "from a walk with my husband and the friends we stayed with in Hastings for the weekend - in the most gorgeous park above the sea":

This is where I spent a part of my time last week when I was in Scotland: at Loch Ordie in Perthshire.

Spring was definitely in the air last week (when this photo was shot) and I am hoping that by posting it today it might encourage the sun to shine again this week - I like the warmth on my face as I took a stroll in the Bay on my lunch break.

What are you up to this week? Today? Right now?


This week, I am saying goodbye (hopefully only temporarily) to work colleagues as we head towards an election here in Wales and I lose my current job. After nearly four years working for the same person, I will be hoping to find a new job in May - either that or I will have persuaded the boyf that he should definitely "keep" me - something he's not too keen on right now. Watch this space, is all I can say!
