Just Blew in from the Windy City ...

Hello everyone! Just got back from my little break with my best friends to Lanzarote.  Have had a fabulous time just relaxing, sunning ourselves, and laughing a lot ... and have come back home to glorious sunshine! The weather in Lanzarote was a bit hit and miss, either bright, blistering sunshine or a bit dull and cloudy, but always windy ... I'm still finding grains of sand in everything ... my camera, my sunglasses, phone and in my washbag which is a bit strange!

The beach was just across the road from the hotel, so no trekking for miles to find a place in the sun, and was a really lovely, golden sandy beach, unusual for the Canary Islands.




Our hotel was really lovely, and the food was amazing, so am strictly on salads for a few days now ... I lost quite a bit of weight for my holiday, it's taken me 4 months ... and feels like It's all gone back on again in 4 days! Never mind, it was worth it ...


That's me in the middle at the back with the white beads on ... all ready for a night on the town ... we found a great American Indian bar, where we had a meal, and were about to leave, but then the band came on and we stayed all night.  They were an Irish band, so sang some traditional Irish songs, a bit of Van Morrison, Dire Straits, U2, Bon Jovi, everything really, and absolutely brilliant.




Back to reality now ... need to get everything ready for Vintage Fair on 3 June, and need a few hours to catch up on all the blogs I've missed while I've been away.



Hope you've all had a lovely weekend, and enjoy your week

Love, Claire xxx
