I have a denim jacket that I love. I have had it for over 15 years, it was bought when I worked at GAP, so was a bargain.

Hubbie and I really rather like Paris. We honeymooned there and have been back a few times since. We decided to take Niblet for his first trip at half-term in June. Warning: photo heavy post coming up.

I have just read this post from Karen over at Did You Make That? I am totally a splurger, as being demonstrated now. I write nothing for months, then have 2 (or sometimes more..) posts all at once.
