Easter Catch Up..

I have been busy over the Easter bank holidays. My mum celebrated a birthday on Thursday and so we left for France and spent a little while picnicking on the coast of Normandy. We stocked up on red wine, Bonne Maman jam (insanely cheap in comparison to it's price in Britain) and very good french cheese.

Her birthday present from me and my sisters was a Diptyque candle, she loves it and so do I. I am officially a convert and know what my future house warming treats will be! I just hope I can make enough money to keep a good stock of Diptyque candles and buy them as presents for friends and family regularly (fingers crossed!)




(Normal posts to resume this week - along with normal life hopefully! The sunshine seems to act like a barricade against my computer.. I find it makes doing anything productive rather difficult, does anyone else feel that way?!)

    Yes, I completely agree-- the sun makes working so difficult, but it's such a treat to have it around these days! I love diptyque candles as well, they smell delish. Glad to see you had a lovely weekend.

    A few days in Normandy sounds perfect. I had no idea Bonne Maman jam was cheaper in France though, that's a great tip! If I manage to get away to France this year I'll be sure to do the same and stock up.

    totally agree! I have felt so lazy and unmotivated and just want to make the most of weather (today does look quite overcast though so doubt ill end up in the garden!)
