My sunny week…

What an amazing week! How blessed I am to live so close to the beach and have so many lovely friends to keep me company…
It seems hard to believe that only a few weeks ago everything was covered in snow! When the sun came out last weekend I never dreamt that it would stay so sunny for so long….
I started my sunny week with breakfast at Jazzy’s – Sandbanks. It wasn’t the healthiest breakfast ever, but when you’re following what amounts to a vegan diet, you’ve got to have the occasional treat! Spent the day relaxing then headed back to Poole Quay, to Gossips for dinner (bit overpriced for what you get in my opinion, but nice enough nevertheless).
Sunday – Fab! Drove to Lulworth Cove and had breakfast on the beach; after confusion re whether or not Brownsea Island was open had picnic lunch at Evening Hill; discovered Brownsea Island WAS open, so headed over there for a few hours and finally ended up at the Haven hotel and had a very enjoyable (non-vegan) coffee as the sun began to set...
After a quiet morning saw my very lovely friend Lynn on Monday, and Barney and Oscar too! Always a pleasure.
Another trip to Jazzy’s on Tuesday with Flo (AKA Rachel) and Chiara – can’t believe she’s almost 1! Another non-vegan coffee was enjoyed, along with the company of course! Finally made it back to Yoga on Tuesday evening – wonderful as always.
Wednesday was another fantastic day, visited Heather at her posh mobile home which literally does look over the beach at Mudeford Quay – how cool is that?!!! Inspirational as always in her positivity, and it was lovely that Jackie and Karren could make it too – it did strike me that life can turn out to be most unexpected in the most unusual of ways – all 3 taught me when I was at FMS!!!
Finally caught up with Julie-Babes on Thursday, followed closely by Hilary – we both agree that neither of us have changed much since the Goldsmith’s Days – a few wrinkles now perhaps (well, me anyway!!!). Also made it into work Thursday afternoon – even I was impressed with my working ‘til 5.40pm!!!
Friday, back to the beach again – this time to Highcliffe, with my lovely friend Heidi. Lunch in the café and a good old natter and catch up. Fab. Fab. Fab.
The girls arrived Friday pm and we’ve all enjoyed a relaxed weekend, consisting of golf, tennis and all the usual; too many Gavin and Stacey and Top Gear repeats to mention and a non-vegan cream tea at Pamphill – all calories burned off on Bradley walk!!! (Maybe!) Must also mention my lovely Goddaughter Rachel – great to catch up after netball on Saturday (mum too!!!), looking forward to having lots of time together when you break up from school obscenely early in the summer!
So, that’s that! A very busy and enjoyable week. Mixed emotions as always on Mother’s day, and today’s sad news made it all the more poignant.
Now sat in my conservatory on my newly purchased reclining chair enjoying life! Love to you all xxx
