The French wish travellers "Bon Voyage!" - many older Christians I know say "Journeying Mercies!" [which means approximately the same, but is less intelligible to the majority of people] Well, either way, we certainly enjoyed safe travels over the weekend, in a round trip of 750 miles or so. I was grateful to get home safely on Sunday evening. Still waiting on an OK to post wedding pictures, but here are a few other holiday snaps...
I figured the instruction to 'wear wellies' would be OK in a field of mud - but less comfy for the dancing. So my trusty biker boots began the outfit. With that, I had to have the biker jacket- and the thermal vest which has kept me warm for many miles riding pillion in heavy rain and high winds.
Plus my lovely Suffragette purple Snag Tights [last year's Xmas gift from Liz] and my ancient pink Laura Ashley scarf. That all dealt with warmth. But it was a wedding, and I wanted prettiness too. The 50p dress I got at the Swishing Party at Ferndown three years ago was just right. Black, with a busy pink floral pattern.
We enjoyed Dunbar - our accommodation was very comfortable, hospitable hosts and a homely atmosphere. And decent coffee and good pastries at breakfast [also yogurts, cereals, juices etc]
Friday night's meal at Umberto's Italian Restaurant was great - good food at good prices, and very friendly staff.
Two signs we saw in the town which made us wonder.
Whatever are "Hot Ovoids"? Probably BBQ fuel - but it sounds like a posh name for boiled eggs.
And the beauticians offering gift vouchers for "Body Piercing Sunbed Nails" ?
Love your outfit, what a pretty dress
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great weekend

ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteYou look great! Very stylish and fun but practical! I look forward to hearing more.x
ReplyDeleteThank you
ReplyDeleteFab outfit. Umberto is retiring soon which will be a great loss to the town after decades of great food.
ReplyDeleteIt was a superb meal.
DeleteVery cute outfit! Love it!
ReplyDeleteI'd hate to be a stereotype clergy wife!
DeleteYou look amazing! And the signs are hilarious!

DeleteLove the dress and I had my biker boots on today now that the weather has become colder. Your B and B looked lovely and glad you had a good journey home. Catriona
ReplyDeleteThanks
DeleteThat's a super warm and sassy outfit and the dress is perfect for dancing later. You look great in both versions.
ReplyDeleteAs for the "Hot Ovoids", I had to do the google thing and came up with this: "a smokeless anthracite based solid fuel for use on open fires and in multi-fuel stoves and selected other cookers." Seems to me this stuff was around when I was young, but perhaps under a different name and delivered to houses in bulk for use in the fireplace.
Thanks for that information!
DeleteYou looked amazing, what a great outfit.
ReplyDeleteI'll pass on the 'Body Piercing, Sunbed, Nails' thank you. I read everything that is in front of me, so I often do a double take at signs like that one.
I often have to look again at the signs
