Returning from our holiday in Pembrokeshire I am finding it hard to get back into the swing of things again.
The peaceful and simply beautiful countryside and beaches make me so want to move there..
But to do that I need to motivate myself back into full swing.
So to do that I went to a local auction tonight didnt buy much but its got me thinking and planning so watch this space for new ideas and stock..
But I have to confess I did venture into an few charity shops leaving the bloke and Millie camped out on the streets in the shade of course cant have Millie getting sunburnt!
On the journey there had to stop of at a carboot sale and can you believe it just as we was leaving infact less than 10 miles into the journey was a yard sale lovely Welsh lady downsized from a farm house to a smaller modern home..Just had to buy some original playmobil people from the 1970′s which she purchased in Canada.
Of course Millie loved the beaches and now we are home its tooo hot for her to walk around the carboot sales so it looks like this weekend I will either go without her ,ahhhh, or I just might load up the car and take her with me selling. I desperatly need to clear out my shed! only to make way for new stuff of course.
If I ever get to downsize into one of these little fishermans cottages I guess I will have to buy and sell little things like teaspoons or thimbles!!
27/52 When the sun comes out there is not a more relaxing to be… Having always wanted our own little beach hut approx 6 years ago the chance arose and its our little piece of beach … Continue reading

Its been a funny start to the month buying stock so I have gone down a retro theme as photos below which you will either love or hate or mabe even say “oh my i remember those..”
Having started a new venture of doing house/garage clearance I have already had several enquires from people moving home to wanting to clear out garage…
As a 50′s baby well late 50′s I just love all the melamine, bright colours, styles, plastics to think mountains of it would have got thrown away and now we all crave it..
Thinking back I wish I had kept all those clothes, records and toys. As my parents where only in their 20′s we were brought up on Elvis, Billy Haley, Beatles and my mum wore the classic 50′s dresses and pinned up hair..

simply a photo blog of Millie..Shes 3 and a chocolate Labrador, English, who came to us at 21 months..
When we first got Millie she was orange from stress and had been at a puppy farm. As far as we know she had had 2 or possible 3 litters.
Shes a happy girl and very loving. Asks for nothing more than her food, walks and lots of fuss. Also she adores tennis balls..
She loves going in the car/van, meeting people and she adores babies…..
chasing and catching bunnies
the snow,
Lucas and Holly
the beach and sea what ever the weather
and she often takes herself of to bed with Clifford the only toy she had never destroyed!!!
