We went through the Wardrobe. 

Some of you may have noticed (ahem) that we have had snow in the UK! This is a big deal. 

We (almost) never have a White Christmas and when January brings us snow we are so excited for about a minute, until we realise that we are not very well acustomed to it! So then follow's the moaning. It's not our fault, our little Island's weather is oh so temperamental, and when it does snow eveything just shuts down. 

One thing I do know is that here on the Coast and in The New Forest it is very rare for the snow to reach us. It is too warm and if it does fall then then it seldom settles of sticks around. It is a novelty for us and so you will hear no moaning from me. I got to experience my very own Narnia this year and I was sad to say goodbye. 

What ever your weather, I hope you are all having a safe and lovely weekend.

I am wearing:

1940's Edwardian style coat~Edwardian Style boats }  Beyond Retro
Edwardian Petit point bag} Antique Market

The dried Roses in my hair were a Valentines present from Craig

More from the coat that you were all so fond off. I have been living in it. Did anyone else watch the series The Paradise on BBC One?  I was very excited when I spotted Denise wearing one very simular. 

These photo's were taken recently in the grounds of Beaulieu palace. Their gardens, herb and vegetable patches are the closest I will ever get to living inside the pages of a Beatrix Potter story. So beautiful.

If you would like to see more from our New Forest and Coastal adventures, Craig has started his own blog, publishing all of his photography. It is called Owl In The Wood and you can visit it  here.
