We're all going on a summer holiday...

By Gem - 22:36:00

I had a lovely weekend attending wedding receptions and my friend made me a roast dinner because I've not had one since moving house, we still don't have a proper kitchen! I've now got a full week of work ahead of me which I haven't had for most of the summer (I only work term time) not looking forward to it!

This is what I wore to work today-

 Dorothy Perkins Dress
  Simple make up, just a flick of Lancome Art Liner.
 My belt was £2 in the New Look Sale
Primark Shoes

I'm off to the rather pretty Torquay this weekend and I need your help! I would love to know where all the best places are e.g. the prettiest beach, most delicious cream tea and any local secrets. The lovely Lyzi has already given me some amazing tips, I'm definitely going to check out the fireworks at the regatta.


I've not had a holiday since I went to NZ a few years ago so I can't wait. I only ever seem to go on city breaks which are super stressful. I'm hoping some mini instax film arrives before I go so I can use my new camera to take some pretty sea side snaps.
I've already packed my case, that's how excited I am! I've made the mix CD for the trip down and packed those little boxes of cereal that I used to have as a kid and lots of healthy snacks so I don't go too far off my diet. I will have to get some fish and chips and a cream tea though, can't go away and not treat myself.

Have you been on your summer holiday yet? Where did you go?

    I stayed in Ireland this summer. My boyf happens to live in one of the most scenic parts of the country so visiting him was my holiday =]

    Rather sad to say I've never been to Torquay but I hope you have a lovely time!
    Also, that cheesecake you commented about? MAN ALIVE. I don't even like cheesecake, but with booze involved I could definitely get on board with that one.

    ah the kellogs variety packs! They were a family favourite back when we used to go camping, me and my sister used to always argue over the coco pops.
    Hopefully you're week isn't as bad as you predicted
