Sussex by the sea!

After struggling to find something to wear for the family wedding on Saturday I managed to find a suitable outfit and off we went.

The venue was a seafront hotel in Eastbourne, a fifteen minute drive a way. We were really lucky with the weather as the forecast wasn't looking so good. After the ceremony, (which was at the hotel) and the delicious meal, we sat outside drinking champagne and wine and watched the world go by. We had a thoroughly enjoyable day. Mr seagull and his mates hovvered over the tables where hotel guests had left unwanted food. I'm not a great fan of seagulls. We have lots of them around our house and our neighbour will insist on throwing bread out for them and they wait on his garage roof every morning making a terrible din! 

However, this chap looked quite friendly!

On Sunday we drove back to the hotel to retrieve our cars and a large group of us joined the bride and groom for a stroll along the prom.

Eastbourne Pier looking quite swish in the sun.

We stopped for some fish and chips and sat by the Pier to eat them. We must have looked liked tourists as a man stopped to tell us to watch out for the seagulls as they would grab our lunch if we weren't careful......been there, done that and got the seagull poo stained t shirt!

Looking at the weather here today, its hard to believe it was this glorious two days ago!

Waffle, waffle waffle....

I bet you can't guess what this little beauty makes?

Bought from Lakeland on Saturday I thought it may not do what it says on the box but it didn't dissapoint!

It uses quite a lot of different ingredients and wholemeal flour which I don't think i'd use again. I'm not keen on wholemeal flour unless it's in bread where it belongs.

 Just look at these little babies!

  Now...that jar of French goodness is just what was needed along with a dollop of Nutella.

My husband was snoozing in the lounge while my daughter and I were concocting these and we didn't think it was right to wake him from his sleep, so we ate the lot!

As they say......you snooze.....you lose!

I should point out that we have a wedding to go to on Saturday and I've still not found anything to wear. I seemed to have changed shape over the last week, can't think why!

The winner is......

Sorry I'm a day late with this but it was my daughters birthday yesterday and I ran out of time to do this.

As you can see the winner is 'Gillian'!

Please email me your details and I'll get your case in the post to you.

This is going to be very brief as I have a lot of work to catch up with but I'll be back soon with a lot of 'waffle'!

Enjoy the sunshine!
