Sorry for my being away so long. I have been off enjoying/suffering/escaping this intense heat that BCN has being living under for the past 45 days. BCN seems to be on fire, literally in someplaces!, sweltering. This city in the heat is insane, those of us that are still left are panting, sweating our way around our daily tasks. Indeed.

Yesterday was amazing paella on a terrace in the hills over looking the sea. I really really want to live in a beautiful old little farm cottege in these hills. ONE DAY! Any way, Im returning for a few days to relax by the pool and do so some painting with Tia Conchi.

BUENO, I have been enjoying friends visiting (picnics, markets, gracia festival, tapas, beaching, borne walking). I have also been trying to clean the flat. My mum is coming on thursday, can't wait.

Look out for new entries come septiembre. I have ideas to show more illustrations (like the one above but hopefully a bit better hmm!). I also want to show case some amazing artists/designers/illustrators/makers/do-ers etc. I want to keep up with sewing projects, cooking and making stuff and also would like to show outfits and other such things. I think too, some book/film/music review and just to keep this place going a bit more and have regular features. Well well, must dash! See you in September!

Summer hols part 5

Kent and beyond:































I have been a bit under the weather all this week, I can't believe its thursday already! I have been really slow getting these snaps up. I really miss the cool english summer air, walks along cliff tops and seeing choppy sea's. I also miss my sisters dearly, and gazing up at the milky english sky. Also pictured above is my dream home (the green and white cottage!). It sits on a cliff next to a lighthouse, with a wooden gate and roses in the garden. Small and simple. I LOVE love this house!
This week has been really disapointing as I've not been out and done anything. I hate wastefull weeks/time etc.
What do you do when you're feeling blue and unmotivated?

Summer holiday:2

English country garden, Kent.




















It feels like a lifetime ago since we were all wondering around these eco gardens, situated on the Kent coast. It was really nice to feel the early June sun and walk around these amazing gardens, with my silly sisters!
I liked the small details within the garden, such as the recycled shells used as pathing for the paths. I also liked that a lot of the plants there were used for medicial purposes. The centre is open for functions and learning days. Would make a lovely wedding location (with views of the white cliffs of Dover).

GreatBritish Summer Holiday part 1:

A few weeks back I took a trip to sunny England, for my summer holiday tour of England. My family lives all over so its quite a task to get round them all.
My sister, dad and pup went camping in Kent. We went to many a places. One of these places was this lovely seaside town called "Broadstairs". I really love English coastal towns. They have a certain charm, Broadstairs was full of this charm. What I love is the tacky cafes, fishing boats, beach huts, seaside houses, the weird greysunshine, sandy beaches. I love the feel of good old Jolly English seaside holidays.
I have many more photos to come!
