Real life has a habit of running away from you, especially in these dog days of summer. And I cannot string together a coherent narrative of the last couple of weeks (well, not one that isn't tedious in the extreme), so you have a look at a few piccies and I'll be brief:
Monica is a good shopping partner in crime - I might have gone for safe and boring, but now I shall be lofty and elegant (and hopefully refrain from waddling like a duck, which is my usual 'heels' mode).
There is such joy in subversiveness - Kristina spotted this at Wisley. We didn't do it. Scouts honour.
When it comes to macarons, my willpower evaporates. That is why my photo shows fewer of them than Alice's....
An unanticipated 600 mile road trip can be vastly improved by listening to a good book whilst driving. I was shattered though.
Oh and then hubby came home and we went on holiday in a Yurt. But that's a whole other tale.
I will now be tempted to 'paint' a smile on every sunflower I see. And I am craving macarons!

My friend gave me a macaron recipe book last night and I am determined to give them a go. Trouble is, I can't decide which ones to make...

you listened to that book? was it as good as I thought? I'm trying to resist buying it and you do that to me???
Next time I'm going to suggest horrible boots. Those are fab.
(I don't think I've ever had a macaroon...)

Those are very foxy boots!

Gorgeous macaroons! And boots - one of the good things about September, is that boots are around again! And a 600 mile drive: did I read that bit properly?!

600 miles? Blimey.
Yay for boots. I am still coveting biker boots like yours from a year or two ago. I am so behind everyone else they'll meet me coming round again.

Loving the look of those boots! Hope you enjoyed your summer.

I love the idea of you and Alice spending the evening together, frantically photographing your macaroons.

Oooh, lovely boots! I was wondering when I could start wearing mine again! x

slinky footwear Missis! I was thinking of you on Tuesday when the bake off was on and, and pleased on your behalf that you weren't having to make 120 macaroons! didn't they do well though? the whole lots would have ended up in the bin if I had been set such a challenge!x
