Over the past 10 days I have had yet another cold virus. I don't usually get them often but it's my second one in just 3 months! Last time I had laryngitis thrown in with it. I thought I was getting better towards the end of last week but at the weekend I moved on to a different bug...


Occasionally I did feel a bit like this ;-(

I longed to go out to enjoy the warm sunny weather....

I couldn't wait to get back in to a normal routine again, walking, fresh air and feeling bright and energetic again!

I imagined how I would love to be sailing around the River Helford in Cornwall...

and around Frenchman's Creek

Despite not feeling on top form, I decided to turn it in to an opportunity to catch up with some things I have been wanting to do but haven't always had the time for.
I still had to work (as I am self employed, if I don't do the work it doesn't get done and no sick pay of course ) But I caught up on some reading, blogging, going through healthy recipe books to get ideas on healthier meals which will boost my immune system etc...
I also took delivery of some parcels...

Vintage eiderdown

Discontinued Laura Ashley Wallpaper (The same as in my display cupboard)


Little vintage leather bag

Yes more supplies of Neal's Yard products.
I spotted this lovely outfit in one of the magazines I was looking at. I really like it, right down to the beret! It's now on my wish list...

At last today, I feel so much better! I have just been in the garden and have enjoyed some of that the sunny weather... ;-))

I hope that you are all enjoying your week. However, if you have been struck down by a virus try not to let it get you down, catch up with a few things..such as letter writing, reading, watch an old film, crochet, what ever will make you feel a bit happier....not housework though...
Ooh, I mustn't go without thanking you all for your lovely comments about my cupboard makeover. I enjoyed reading them all and am overwhelmed by the number of comments!
A bientôt!
