Soaking up the sun!

After days and days of rain and cloud, my sun-loving self was starting to REALLY miss Colorado, where it's been about 75-80 degrees and gorgeous for the past few weeks. England? Psh, England. YOU MAY HAVE GREEN THINGS BUT COLORADO HAS SUN GOSH DARN IT. Luckily, before I went too mad, the sun decided to brave it's face and give England a glorious three whole days of sunshine. What? Three days of sunshine? I KNOW.

The first of these days was Saturday; which was great as we'd already planned to go to a small car boot and farmers market in town.

They had loads of lovely things there! They had eggs from a bunch of different birds; including an ostrich! Loads of meat, specialty cheeses and olives, and hand-crafted beer which I was VERY tempted to get! There was also this really lovely stall that was selling hand-crafted soaps; they smelled SO lovely and were displayed in the prettiest vintage suitcases! Of course I immediately gravitated towards the cupcake stand, where lo and behold I found CHOCOLATE ORANGE CUPCAKES. At 1.50 a pop I couldn't say no :)

After the farmers market, we wandered down the street eating our cupcakes and generally soaking up the sunshine to the car boot sale! It was quite small, and I forgot to take pictures, but there were quite a few cute bits and bobs! I didn't pick anything up, but Liz got some scraps of fabric and a pretty wicker basket for her kitchen!

Not wanting to waste the sunshine, an impromptu picnic with the dogs, my uncle and my lovely baby cousins was the perfect solution for our rumbly tummys!

We packed up and headed to the park where we feasted upon sausage rolls, chicken samosas, coke, pringles, and various other goodies! Diet? What diet?

At some point my 3-year old cousin Lucas got a hold of the camera and took this lovely, albiet extremely blurry, photograph of the picnic. Watch out for this rising talent ladies and gentlemen!

After the picnic we went back and feasted upon chocolate rise krispie bars with smarties, which were deliciously messy to eat, and then headed back home for some well deserved rest time!

How do you like to enjoy the sunshine?
