Beautiful wisteria this month
Making: salads – chicken with a bit of blue cheese, inspired by my friend who’s obsessed with it for lunch right now!
Cooking: rhubarb and clementines
Drinking: fizzy water, sounds virtuous but have had quite a few ciders over the Bank Holiday weekend. Sunshine, sea and cider go together beautifully
Lovely bluebells. I’m going to do a separate bluebell post because it’s an annual tradition I don’t want to skip
Reading: Birdsong by Sebastian Faulks
Wanting: new jogging bottoms for Pilates
Playing: Everything Under by Daisy Johnson – my new audio book
Deciding: to try not to fall asleep over my Kindle at bedtime!
Wishing: to live nearer the sea
Enjoying: the sunshine
Waiting: for the new Gavin & Stacey Christmas Special! Exciting!!!!!
Evening walks with that gorgeous golden light as the sun gets lower, has been a treat this May
Liking: how green everything is, May is one of my favourite months. Colour everywhere
Wondering: when to stop this to make my hair appointment on time
Loving: sleeping well (not the last two nights, but there’s always tonight)
A new walk, discovered the other Sunday
Pondering: what’s next for the country
Considering: eating some breakfast before I leave, better rush
Buying: groceries online
Swansea marina and Swansea market – those Welsh Cakes smelt mmmmm
Watching: the last ever Big Bang Theory last night. They handled the ending well, brought a tear to my eye
Hoping: to visit a friend later
Marvelling: how tight your jeans can feel after just 4.5 days away…
Cringing: at the above, it’s been fun though
Needing: to pause this for now
Tenby – still so light at nine in the evening
Questioning: what’s effective at removing soap scum and limescale from shower doors, without chemicals. So far I’ve tried a few things
Smelling: hair salon smells
Wearing: a black gown
Following: what others are having done to their hair (aka covert staring in the mirror!)
Saundersfoot. I recommend Sue’s Pantry if you like cake (with or without tonnes of icing…actually half of mine fell off and onto the pavement. There’s going to be a gull with diabetes soon)
Knowing: it’s probably going to rain on my styled hair on the walk home
Thinking: about fun times with lots of laugher
Admiring: Andy Parsons for filming this for Campaign to End Loneliness
Sorting: laundry
Love all the colours and patterns in the shells. I think the mussel shell looks almost tartan, don’t you think?
Getting: into cleaning mode. Holiday cottages are – usually – sparkling and your own slightly dusty home suffers in comparison when you come home. I get why people spring-clean before going away. I do sometimes, but not last week
Bookmarking: books to read
Coveting: that house by the sea
Disliking: dust and fluff
Amroth does huge jelly fish
Opening: mail
Giggling: remembering a Christmas Gavin & Stacey episode
Feeling: very chilled
Snacking: on raw carrots, as usual
Tredegar House, National Trust
Helping: the grocery driver find the house this morning. Could hear a van driving up and down the road
Hearing: that Sheeran & Bieber song on the salon radio
Mixing: they’re mixing colour for customers
Worrying: about nothing specific
Colby Woodland Garden, National Trust
Slicing: an apple
Celebrating: long Bank Holiday weekends, especially this last one in Pembrokeshire
Forgetting: nothing?
Winning: nothing!
Pretending: nothing!
Sneaking: nothing!
Embracing: friends and family, it’s good to appreciate and be appreciated in return
The Little Room of Rachell 
I love your post and will make a top 5 of my (your??) favourite pictures later! :)
Thank you, it’s done me really good to go through this. Enjoy spring and sunshine!
It’s always a boost isn’t it? Spring colour and more sunshine. Just what the Doctor ordered.
You sure visited some very pretty places. Those jelly fish are very scary. The cake looks amazing. Hope you were pleased with the new hairdo. Was that your wysteria?
Wales is lovely, especially that coastline. Lots more to explore in the future too. I love the jelly fish – it was a treat to find them, tho glad I didn’t step on one while I walked in the sea….
You have some gorgeous pictures! Except for the jellyfish :-)
Try vinegar on the soap scum on the shower doors. I used it on ours and it works very well!
It works! It’s great. Thank you. I used distilled vinegar, left it on for half an hour then rinsed off. Eco friendly and didn’t fill the bathroom with fumes. (Apart from smelling like a fish and chip shop!)
It looks like you had quite an adventurous vacation! Thanks for sharing all the wonderful images. Also, thanks for the thoughtful emails about Dayle. He had a very rough day yesterday but hopefully today will be better. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
I do like my trips away. Always try to make the most of them. You’re welcome. Glad you enjoyed the pictures.
Ah, I hope he’s had a better weekend and is on the up now.
It looks like an interesting vacation what with huge jellyfish, new hairdos and cake. Coming home – mixed feelings of familiarity with the unknown at your holiday abode. I love Welsh Cakes.
It’s always good to go away, especially by the sea. Hair was back at home, nothing drastic. No feeling of unfamiliarity – just housework to do!
You went to a lot of lovely places. I know someone who goes to Tenby every year!
