I spend so much time at a computer in work you would think I would want to switch off at the end of the day but I use my laptop and technology in my life for so much more as I'm sure you all do.

My New Look kimono was the perfect lightweight cover up for a walk on a warm summer evening. The walk was a fairly gentle climb uphill but the walkway was shady so this was the perfect top to stay cool but not get chilly on the way back down. I've already got more outfits planned with this beautiful kimono, it's going to look great over bright pastel hues for a chic contrast and perfect for nights out with a black dress and some heels.


If you're wondering where these photos were taken it's Cwm Carn Forest drive. Cwmcarn Forest drive is only a five minute drive from my mums house and I spent a lot of time there as a teenager. You can camp there, fish, use the mountain bike trails and have a BBQ. Martyn took me and Sookie up for a walk and there are stunning seven miles of Forest Drive.This area used to be mined and it has been transformed. It is difficult to imagine that some of the surrounding hillsides were slag heaps with hardly a tree to be seen. The Forestry Commission started to plant trees here in 1922. Today Cwmcarn Forest in the Nantcarn valley is a haven for people and wildlife.
Look at my baby, so beautiful! I know I'm mad but I miss her so much now that I'm not living at home. She loved the drive and comes here often with my brother.

Martyn was looking very handsome in his new top and Vans. You can see a close up of his Jawbreaker tattoo here. Sookie loves Martyn and wont let him have a minutes peace, always wanting him to throw a ball for her or fuss over her.
