finally

I finally decided on a watch- this beautiful Michael Kors goldtone and horn one, it was the last one, I tried it on and I was smitten! I love all of his watches and now I have one!

160th Ploughing Match

Today I went to my first ploughing match in 3 years and I've missed them big time. I'm pretty sure most people will have never heard of them let alone gone to one but being a bit of a country girl I feel bad when I miss one. They always have the cake and jam judging tent along with scarecrow and fresh fruit competitions this year, the giant pumpkins (I always hope to grow one of these but have always failed) a gymkhana and obviously the ploughing match itself along with the oldest and smartest farmers I've ever seen. I loved it and stupidly wore a dress and my hunter wellies and even though I was a little cold I really enjoyed it. I bought a couple of pumpkins ready for Halloween, some corn on the cob and a book.

james brown

The new Autumn Cath Kidston magazine came through today and there's some beautiful limited edition screen prints by James Brown- who until today I hadn't heard of, after a little bit of googling I found his website and blog and I absolutely love his work, it's beautiful and vintage looking and I want it all!

pearl lowe

Pearl Lowe's new Peacock's collection is out, I fell in love with the black version of the lace dress (I'd love one in every colour) and am waiting for it to be delivered, I was in two minds about the leopard print dress and now it's sold out I think I'm going to regret not ordering one!

=D

and neither will I with all the online shopping possibilities!!

true blood

It's taken me a while to catch on to the whole new wave of vampires, I went to see the first Twilight film and hated nearly every moment of it. I know vampires aren't exactly "normal" but Twilight is too far fetched for me and I can't stand Robert Patterson (even if he does glitter). However I've always liked the idea of vampires, mainly down to an ITV drama that I saw a long time ago (and now have on dvd) and I caught a few episodes of True Blood and loved it. It's just amazing. Like all good tv programmes/ films it was once a book so I borrowed the first one 'Dead Until Dark' from a friend of mine and was totally hooked- I read it in a day and immediately bought the box set by Charlaine Harris, which arrived today, I'm so very excited and I can't wait to get my teeth into them! (excuse the pun)
