Today we explored a town not too far from home. 🏡 We had lunch, hired a rowing boat and went shopping. Now feeling very tired, so heating on, candles lit and feet up. Just need to decide what film to watch! That unfortunately always takes us some time to figure out what... . . #exploring #autumnvibes🍁 #flowers #streetsofessex #essex #town #saturdayafternoon #movienight (at Essex) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGdAWS2BPGX/?igshid=13ktotlltglhf

Bubble waffles made everything ok the whole duration I was scoffing it down! We went for a walk to get lunch today and came across some lovely new shops. There were more cafes than ever that have appeared over the last few months in Leigh. I hope we will get the time to try them. A pit stop to @rusbubblewaffles to taste the deliciousness of a Kinder Bueno waffle! Double choc chip ice cream, melted white chocolate, kinder bueno pieces wrapped in a warm bubble waffle. It was yummy yummy yummy! Autumn days like these i could repeat over and over. Ice cream waffles come rain or shine! Delicioussssss! . #bubblewaffle #iceream #autumndays #sundays #kinderbuenoismyfavourite (at Ru's Bubble Waffles) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGNbGwVBwQG/?igshid=ny45yl3is0ke

Hello! 🍂 (at Southend-on-Sea) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFnAJ3iBm3C/?igshid=biquij8djaku

A few weekends ago we headed to Chichester, our first UK staycation in a while and our first time away since lockdown. I must admit I was really apprehensive about staying away after many months of lockdown, it felt alien to venture out but I am glad we did. The Clockhouse Chichester is a charming house in the most charming street and a few minutes walk from Chichester town centre and catherdral. All precautions were taken to ensure our stay was as relaxing and comfortable as possible by the owner. Hand santiser bottles around the house, antibacterial spray and all cleaning products you would have in your own home along with a covid 19 policy that lists all the precautions taken prior to our arrival. It was finally time for us to relax and try and get a sense of normality. I was blown away with the house when we first pulled up in the driveway. I wondered around the house with my camera and admired all the beautiful pictures on the wall of local beaches and artists along with the cosy furnishings and decor. I was excited and happy to be where I was. The clockhouse is a perfect getaway house. I havent shared anything on my website for ages but I will share all details in the coming days should you want to have a UK STAYCATION this would be an ideal place to relax with beaches nearby and local town, you have all you would need on a break away. More images and info will be online soon. A side note: Small businesses need all the help we can give them. Whether its renting a house for a weekend, an independant restaurant, a small online store please spare a thought for small businesses on your next UK STAYCATION or product purchase. ❤ 👈🏼Time to relax @chiclockhouse (at Chichester, West Sussex) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDf8FeFBX8T/?igshid=1kyipqxana4xi

A truly heartbreaking read @yeonmi_park but your courage and resilience is an inspiration. Each night I have been reading this book, a few chapters at a time, I reflect on how fortunate I am, how fortunate we are as a country to have freedom of speech, we can openly share our thoughts of like or dislike of our own leaders without question from them. They get it wrong sometimes and they get it right sometimes because they are only human or perhaps silly, who knows, we can watch TV, any show we like at any time, we can enjoy the comfort of heating and electricity and we are not subject to various mediums of propaganda 24/7. I feel sadness reading this book but it brings to the forefront how extremely grateful I am for everything. Monday done. ✔ Wine and a read! . . . . . . . #bookstagram #wineandbooks #theworldwelivein #grateful #gratefulheart #mondaymotivation #mondaymood #winelover #goodreads #whataworld #its2020 #unbelievable (at United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBv3Q0ghlzl/?igshid=1rv5vicd97b1q

Today we went for a walk in the woods....we took lots of snaps which kept us entertained for a while. We decided to have a competition to see who could take the best snap during our walk. I think Marks is the best but I wont say which one he took as there is a poll on my instagram stories right now... . . . . . . #woods #ifyougodowntothewoodstoday #sunnysaturday #naturephotography #naturewalk #hotsaturday #walkinginthewoods #treesofinstagram #sunshine (at Hockley Woods) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA0i3vPhWCR/?igshid=iykchs0t4jqh

Eye spy with my little eye! Yet another lockdown purchase. I'm getting good at this....prior to lockdown rarely did I spend money on anything other than food out and wine. Now I spend it on food for indoors and wine and Amazon! Today, I put make up on....it has been a while. Here's the new addition...Personalised ceramic brush holder from Amazon! . . . . . . . . . . #personalisedtat #dontreallyneedit #impulsepurchase #spectrumbrushes #spectrum #makeup #beauty #rosegold (at Southend-on-Sea) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAilQrChkwg/?igshid=nltr7kud8fxl

Candle making day was a success! We have two going at the moment and they have been burning now for 4 hours. With the travel industry on hold for obvious reasons I thought Melita Latham London could venture into candles. We will be testing over the coming weeks, I will keep you updated! . . . . . . #candles #candlemaking #fashion #travel #homedecor #wick #vanilla #soywax #vanilla #handmade #handmadewithlove #homeaccessories (at Southend-on-Sea) https://www.instagram.com/p/CABUxwEhjSD/?igshid=1xq91ynh7tohc

Strange times. A late evening walk around the block to get some fresh air. It's so peaceful outside, just the sound of birds and what I can only assume is the vast amounts of china plates and tea sets clanging in everyones kitchens after celebrating VE day indoors. Bright buntings stretched across roads tied to houses that have blown in the wind for many weeks, a tribute to our NHS and everyone who is keeping us safe and well. Strange times indeed. #veday #veday75 (at Southend-on-Sea) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_8HUa9hvf3/?igshid=qrmltloex7sj

Keeping myself busy this bank holiday creating my lockdown seashell wreath. We are fortunate enough we have the 'seaside' near us so now and again first thing in the morning (when it is not crowded) we head to the beach (the Thames) and collect shells for my mini projects that I start and take forever to finish! This will be our summer table centrepiece! Have a lovely bank holiday! 'Lest we forget, and stay safe' ❤ . . . . . #wreathmaking #thebeach #beachvibes #seashells #paintedstarfish #wreath #summerwreath #seaside #summeriscoming #tablecentrepiece #arty #tabledecor #tabledecoration #diningtableinspo (at Southend-on-Sea) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_7Pe91hHBt/?igshid=19k5conoy1tks

The life away from life. Lockdown gets harder and harder as each day passes but we are doing the right thing by staying at home. I am fortunate that I am still working from home doing my day job and I am very grateful. Of an evening and the weekends I have been keeping myself busy with all sorts. Painting by numbers, crafty things making wreaths for table centre pieces, I also bought a packet of air drying clay to try and make something useful, DIY, reading and cleaning of course. Cooking.....Mark does that mostly. I am in the middle of reading these three books. I cant just read one book at one time like everyone else, I have three on the go. #lockdownlife #lockdownbooks #stayathome #bookstagram #fashion #fashionbooks #tableofbooks #nearlytheweekend #keepingbusy #fashionlover (at Southend-on-Sea) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_0ElMaBKgK/?igshid=1qcatic83rhra
