a beach cottage *i love saturdays* challenge...

morning....
sarah from a a beach cottage has started a weekend club...
go here for a lookie
i adore our weekends here in the english countryside...
&
the idea of stopping with a coffee this weekend, on my own, to really recognise this appealed to me...
if you don't know sarah...she is a gorgeous english gal who has moved to the beautiful beaches of sydney to *live the good life*...
i know all about this *northern beaches good life*... as thats where i hail from...


so this weekend she gave us all out first mission!
yep...the coffee on your own to quietly love your saturday-mission...
with a compulsory white tee-shirt with a ruffle twist...




yep...that's the ruffle for the weekend...
ignore those poor haven't-seen-sunshine-since-last-october-till-this-week-arms...
right so ruffles on...next- where to have my saturday moment...
i just can't go past our front step...


saturdays in our village are busy busy busy...
it's a very pretty little market town with a choice of cafes...
i love them on weekdays...but for this challenge i wanted peace & quiet...
but with a view...
we are the first house before the village *high street* & on saturdays many a person will shout a hello over  that front gate...
it's just lovely....

so this is my spot...
the guardian...
a full tea cup...
my fave & best lugged-home-in-the-back-of-the-car-french chair...
english sunshine...{yep sarah it was out!}
wellies...
daffs...
&
i stopped...& loved my saturday...
an aussie gal in the english countryside...taking a moment in the sun...
&
the blessed guardian even included a supplement i devoured....


thanks sarah
love being part of a *gang* again
looking forward to next week's challenge
a little *moment* on my saturday

  6. Hi there M. Well, almost packed and ready to go. Unfortunately, we're all pretty sick... so not looking forward to the flight ahead of us. I figured I would just get me daily dose of Miss Sew and So before we head off. You're looking great! I too look forward to flipping through The Guardian over the next few weeks. Have a great Sunday. Lx

  9. How gorgeous is your front path Melissa? I love the way you embrace the seasons - and seeing little pockets of your home. The daffs in the bucket, a glimpse over your front gate... Have a lovely week!
