Weird Happy Heart? for SS

Oh dear!

I fear that Freud would have a field day with this...but it made me happy!!! LOL

Here is my take on Happy Hearts for Hels Sunday Stamper!

I had a little splurge this week and bought two of the new T!m stamp sets....the skull is the larger one on the Apothacary plate.....I've got an idea for the smaller skull too that is on the mini Hallowe'en...can't wait to get started!!

This is in my A5 journal just so as you get an idea of size.

I have been waiting patiently ever since T!m revealed them....I know...weird!!!.......

but I could be doing much weirder things!!! ROFL ;)

As Hels said, it was sad to hear of Andy Williams passing....and additionally Herbert Lom...heavens I must have been a weird child I thought he was the bees knees...I suspect lots of kids would have been hiding behind the settee on seeing him in some of the movies he made.....I would not quite class him in the sex on legs category but there was definitely something about him!!! ;)

SNED Mr Grey Suit

Take a little journal.......take man in grey suit as inspiration! Result is this!!!

Can't help thinking I have an unhealthy addiction to man in grey suit LOL!

On the other hand, taking inspiration from a man in a grey suit has to be better than taking inspiration from a skeleton surely? But then again....the spooky season is heading our way and that old skeleton is calling me! ROFL ;)

A Kingswear Moment!

I've just had a couple of fabulous days sharing an apartment in Kingsbridge with my best friend and her husband.

We had a lovely evening at The Old Bakery - a tapas restaurant.....please go if you are ever there - and would you believe I had a similar "man in a grey suit" moment to the one I had in Kingswear the other week....perhaps I'm not past attracting attention from dishy guys after all ROFL!!!

Went to Overbecks a National Trust property near Salcombe....it's a very beautiful garden indeed....full of tender and sub-tropical plants....just the sort of thing I love and we had a cream tea....scrummy ;)

Me and Jacquie......I sometimes wonder if we were separated at birth! LOL

'Tis a pity I had to go back to work today...

...I don't get to spend nearly enough time with my friend....they, luckily, have the rest of the week to enjoy themselves before they have to return home up north :)

Some Enchanted Evening

I'm still wondering about the dishy man in the grey suit from last Saturday

I'm not used to someone saying I'm glamorous and it rather threw me....I used to be pretty good at flirting but heck! I could not say anything more than "thank you" to that compliment...

...and that we lived in Brixham when he asked if we were local, he also said
"I wish I'd met you earlier"!

Yikes! Where did my tongue go, and what did that mean exactly?

Then he took his drink and went outside to watch the fireworks like the rest of us and I never saw him again...

...it was definitely a sliding doors moment......I'd love to know who he was!! LOL :)

God help me........I've been singing "Some Enchanted Evening" to myself all week!!!

There really is no hope for an incurable romantic like me!

Still, if nothing else, it provided the input for this page in my little journal for day 4 with Gez who has suggested trying "Something new every day" in September ;)

Regatta Day

It's been Dartmouth Regatta and I went with two of my friends for the day.

I love the approach from across the river at Kingswear to Dartmouth.

This is Bayards cove where they filmed the Onedin Line.

We always like to go to Bayards Cove Inn for a coffee so that's where we started.

We strolled around to the street market, the main market and the craft tent.

Lots of amusements too, I love a carousel

I went on a flight simulator a tornado jet one.....loved it...wanted to prove to myself I'm still alive...can still enjoy the thrill.....been a bit low recently ;)

We had lunch in The Royal Castle and shared a bottle of wine.

We watched the Black Cats display...it made you gasp!

We decided to get across the river back to Kingswear and spent some time in The Ship Inn sharing the wine, enjoying a laugh, loving that a very gorgeous guy in a dapper grey suit said we looked glamorous (he did not appear to be drunk either! LOL), except my friend seemed to think he was aiming the compliment just at me! I'll never know, but we had some fun expanding on the possibilities!! Then we watched the fireworks, then we went back in the Ship because the cue for the next bus was horrendous and we could see we would never get on it. Shared some more wine, were about to head for the bus when my boss, his partner and his best mate Mitch Tonks came in and insisted we had another drink and share a cab home....well how could we refuse! ROFL.

It's a good job we did go home in the taxi 'cos we all had had far too good a day if you get my drift :)

It was a great day.......we are going to do it all again for the Dartmouth food festival....can't wait.

'Cos friends make life worth living :) My day two playing along with Gez in September.
