Strolling

I enjoy perusing shop's as much as the next woman, but whenever I am in a City try to make sure I look up, notice my surroundings, the architecture making up the skyline, the landscape & the juxtaposition of building style and era's jostling next to each other.....
& of course take photograph's. So here are just a few of my recent visit to Leicester!

 

& these two! :-)

Some beautiful areas if we open our eyes....& look up!

52 Week's of Happy (22 & 23/52)

Well, its proving difficult to do these posts on a weekly basis!!

So, here goes two weeks.....again!

Happy moments from the last couple of weeks!

• Spending precious time with my boy. Love.

• & his beautiful girlfriend & her Mama!

• Sitting in the sun for over an hour watching these majestic creatures :-)

• Playing chess in the sun - even if I do get well and truly beat!!

• First line dry of the year - nothing captures the scent of line dried washing!!

• Spring biscuits from M&S, yum yum....

• More spring flowers decorating the walkways in Leicester

• Love this scent, Isis Pink from M&S - lotus flower, peony, purple ginger & star fruit, cedarwood and amber - spring in a bottle putting a spring in my step ;-)

What's putting a spring in your step?

Bradgate Park, Newtown Linford

 21 degrees in Leicester on Sunday!!!

21 degrees, come on lets get out for some sun!

We headed to Bradgate, a beautiful deer park - so did the world & his wife...

anyone who knows me knows I have a stag & deer fetish,

t'was a gift of a day :-)

Show this boy a tree....once an adventurer, always an adventurer!

 The park was once home to Lady Jane Grey - Nine Day's Queen!

Imagine surveying these surroundings daily...

 Ok, so now I am in my element, stag overdrive.....

wish I had Mr.L's mahoosive camera with me....can't be bothered carrying it!!

 Kick's self.

 Oh, just look at their faces, so sweet & innocently beautiful

 We sat & watched & took photo's for an hour :-)

Quiet contemplation, surreal, 

as the herd quietly grazed, keeping a watchful eye, when one moved they all moved....

Lunch.....& yes! A game of chess!

A wonderful end to a wonderful day.
Did you have nice weather at weekend? How did you spend your time in the sun?

Watch.This.Space.Boutique Leicester

Visited my boy in Leicester this weekend. I love a mooch around the city. 

My favourite part is St. Martin's Square - lots of little independent, unusual boutiques. 

& guess what? There was a new one in the square! 

Not only that, its a brilliant find for picking out bit's for the Wedding of Kris & Leanne!

Watch This Space Boutique 

sells unusual bespoke, limited edition design pieces, curated by the designer owner from other independent designer's providing a place to display & sell.

 

A feast for the senses....I loved it all:-)
