Thank you for all your lovely messages on my last post. I have been absent over the last week as I've been celebrating my 30th birthday (gasp....) in Wales.

"Lignin, the stuff that prevents all trees from adopting the weeping habit, is a polymer made up of units that are closely related to vanillin. When made into paper and stored for years, it breaks down and smells good. Which is how divine providence has arranged for second hand bookstores to smell like good quality vanilla absolute, subliminally stoking a hunger for knowledge in all of us."

I am currently reading A million little pieces by James Frey, how about you guys? xx

Gloriously Idle....

Bosnian Coffee - Can't you just smell it?

Unabashedly Prep
The art of doing absolutely nothing. Don't you just love lazy bank holidays? A free day off to laze around drinking coffee and getting stuck into a really good book. Not to forget the picnics in the park with ready made cocktails ; )

If I am honest saying I am not a big Royal family fan is an understatement (controversial I know, sorry!!) but I defiantly enjoyed my extra day being idle. So thank you Will and Kate xx
