came to stay .

we had plans . So many things to do and talk about and blog about and photograph .

But It rained .

you came all the way over to devon and it rained . That wasnt meant to happen . Not in the book i was writing.( and 5 kids taking up all our precious time !)

But it was fucking great to see you .

i realised how lucking i am to have such a gorgeous sister. And how much i miss you .

Its really sad you have gone .

But i am excited about our blog plans we have ….or those who want to know ,you will have to wait a little longer” jackyblue ” maybe expanding……

P1080433

which sailors look do you prefer? circa 1985? or…

ooooh is that my new chanel tshirts? just out of the packaging? one for me and one for …….me? one in a sailors breton and one  circa 1985 graffiti punk?

two for me?

Got to admit , i think im pulling the look far better off back then ,aged 10 or so, than i am doing now …its just the hat back then with the front cord, i mean you can be so much more literal in your youth .   . . .

airstream5airstreamscreenshot_067

i think i may take my holiday inspiration from here. I think we’ve found our great british holiday after all .With airstream names like “1946 spartan manor “, what else could one wish for ?

pitching up

carry on

there is nothing i like more, than a bit of burnt toast and baked beans and feeling like you havent slept all night ,with no make up mirror and forgotten makeup remover . Yes its the return of the british seaside/camping holiday  . We are getting influxes of people  and coaches arriving here in sunny old devon  . People all shapes and sizes. Its inspiring me to hire a vintage airstream and do camping in style …

obbsessive compulsive? moi? co-ordianting the colours of my books ? moi? too much time on my hands? moi?
No worries , im not that crazy/bored yet . But i sure did ikey the idea. I had to restrain myself in buying any of these . Because, lets be honest now. Its all about the cover and not much about the book … ( i grew up in the 80s , what do you expect. ? i didnt have to read , i had a telly in my bedroom!)and buying the whole lot just for a colour chart , that would be far too ridiculous no ?But they would look great in the office and give the impresion of a higher intelligence .
