Happy weekend everyone. I hope yours is as bright and colourful as this very summery photo. It makes me want to grab a blanket and sit in the sunshine, except that's probably not a great idea. Even if it is sunny this weekend it'll be freezing cold out and even if it's not freezing cold the grass is sure to be damp. Ah well, indoor picnic it is then. We've had one of those already this week and it's almost as good as an outdoor one!

Firstly tonight I want to say how incredibly proud I was of my little girl today. This afternoon she had her pre-school booster jabs and she was an absolute superstar. She wasn't worried, didn't get upset and didn't even cry. Unlike her emotionally challenged mother. Seriously, ever since she was born I have been rubbish when it comes to her getting her jabs. I can't stop shedding a tear. I don't know why as I don't have a problem with getting injections myself. I guess I don't like the thought of anyone hurting my little girl.

In other news.... Today was spring. I don't know how long this beautiful weather is meant to hang around for but it was so sunny and warm. It's hard to believe that only a couple of weeks ago we were playing in the snow and trying not to slip over on the ice.

Here is a lovely picture that makes me excited about the arrival of spring. The sunlight is gorgeous. I also love the inclusion of the polaroids. They look like pretty photos too. Come on spring, bring it on. I need to be having picnics and taking pictures in the sunshine!

I thought I'd stay with the picnic theme tonight and chose to post this lovely photo. The sunlight on this has been captured wonderfully and it looks like a blissful way to spend a summer's day. And I just know that a picnic basket full of lovely goodies was also not far away.

One of the best things about summer is definitely picnics. I love them. They can anything from grabbing a pack of sandwiches from the supermarket and eating them in the park to elaborate dishes prepared for a huge gathering of friends and family. Either way they are still so perfect for a summer's day. My husband, daughter and I had a picnic today at a National Trust Garden in Sussex called Nymans. It was lovely and relaxing. Although a little bit tiring at times because my little one decided she wanted to do running races even thought she's only one year old she's actually getting rather fast! But when I got my breath back it was relaxing!

This is a lovely picnicy photo. Strawberries are just the best summer fruit don't you think? I love this photo because even though it only features some grass and some fruit it still captures that relaxed summer feeling. And the colours, well they are just so vibrant and sunny!
