Sunshine, Easter Walks And Dirty Dancing

Share

Ah what a wonderful week its been, but wow has it flown. Did you have a great Easter? Lets start with the weather, omg how amazing has the weather been? This time last year it was cold and snowy, but what a treat its been. And what better time to have glorious weather than Easter Weekend? It has made it perfect for packing family time in, going for long walks and the odd spot of sunbathing, I mean come on, it would have been rude not too. But it wasn’t all sunbathing and cocktails, here is what else I have been up to this week.

If you want to see me create my projects, follow me on Tik Tok and Instagram.

Flying Kites 

As soon as Joe saw the sunshine on Friday morning he was up and out in the garden, which is not like him. Teens much prefer sleep to sunshine. He had found a kite which we had all forgotten about and was flying it up the back of the garden. However the weather was glorious with not much wind so we decided to venture to the field behind our house, which is at the top of a hill, offering guaranteed wind. Sometimes its the simple things that create so much joy, isn’t it? We spent some time flying the kite. Toby and I mainly trying to keep out of the way, he was not to keen about the giant bird like thing swooping above his head.

The Pendle Sculpture Trail 

The Pendle Sculpture Trail was our great discovery of the week, its in one of our local villages and something we had meant to check out for a while. As we sat enjoying a coffee on the patio on Sunday morning, I know my favourite kind of weekend morning! We decided that we would get ready and head to the trail before the crowds arrived. Our little villages get so busy at the weekend, we live in such a beautiful spot, and that draws people from all over.

And the trail was spectacular, in all it was around a 4 mile walk but worth the walk, full of sculptures and magical creatures. And the best views peeping through the woodland. I imagine its beautiful whatever the weather , but on a sunny day its truly stunning.

Working In The Garden 

We have had work to do in the garden, the area is clear and ready for the extension now. Now we waiting on planning permission, fingers crossed. But in the meantime have created an extra area in the garden. The aim is the create little areas that chase the sun as it moves up the garden throughout the day, so have sunshine all day long. We have lived in our house for 8 years and I have no idea why we didn’t think of this before?

Watching Dirty Dancing 

My good friend Kelly and enjoyed a sunny evening in Manchester enjoying dinner at Albert Schloss and then watching Dirty Dancing at the Palace Theatre, it was amazing. The film is my fave ever and the show did not disappoint. Everything the way they wove a little humour into the story, the costumes, cast and hair it was all so true to the movie without being a cheesy copy. The whole audience exploded at the end it was incredible. And sunny nights in Manchester are just glorious the atmosphere was fantastic.

The Week Ahead

We have a quiet weekend planned, I am working tomorrow and still getting used to working on Saturday, but love the buzz of salon life. I do have a little theatre trip planned, and next week to see the King and I at the Opera House in Manchester. Oh I just adore the film and the score so can’t wait to see how it transforms to stage.

Have an amazing week ahead whatever you are up to, and lets hope the sun comes back very soon!

  1. We love kite flying. Fab that it still appeals to teens. Poor Toby. Hope he’s got over it. The sculpture trails does sound good. I’m ont he look out for one near us. Absolutely love the idea of chasing the sun around the garden. We kind of do it, but always room for improvement. Hope your theatre trip is good. I remember seeing it in London with Yul Brynner in the lead. Fantastic. #wotw
