I had so much fun today! OH and I are having golf lessons - we spent an hour and a half today putting, then moved onto the driving range to practice our swing, during which they filmed us to see if we could improve the technique in any way. I am so impressed with the course - the instructor is so good. Owing to his expert instruction, we are now at the stage where we could play a round of golf after just 4 hours of tuition (that's not to say I would WANT to just yet, give it a few days!).
I always had it in my mind that golf is for toffs, business men (networking with clients/colleagues), men who have kids and want to 'get away from it all', and old people. However, I am now eating my words because it's actually great fun, good exercise, you get out in the fresh air and is a great way for us to spend time together.
Naturally, after a hard day golfing ;-) (seriously, my back aches and I do feel exhausted!) I thought I'd make the most of not being in work today and pop into the Lewes Flea Market. It was loaded with goodies today. I spotted a food safe for just £20! I've seen them go for over £100 online. I didn't buy the food safe because we already have one from OH's grandmother's house, but if you want/need one go and grab yourself a bargain. After 5 mins of browsing I had spotted 2 projects that I can't wait to get started on. Firstly, this lovely firescreen for our bedroom (£15) and secondly this wall hanging shelf/cupboard (£22). I have been looking for something to put up in our dining room for ages, but all the shelves I have seen on ebay have been painted up in white, which I'm sure you have gathered is not my cup of tea. So the thought of having to pay £60 for some shelves all painted beautifully in a colour I would then have to go over, well it's just madness really isn't it?! :-) So these will both be painted blue and get the 'Sian' makeover treatment as soon as I have a spare few hours.
I've been so busy lately I've not even been able to truly appreciate the beauty of the Wisteria this year. It's absolutely stunning! Wisteria only flowers for a couple of weeks a year so I like to take as many photos as possible so I thought I would share some with you. There are also some photos from the garden.
[This is the blossom on the crab apple tree - can't wait to make the Jelly again this year!]Oh god, I'm being all 'twee' and starting to sound like a lady that lunches aren't I? Anyway, I must dash off and rustle up some tea and cakes. ;-)
