Torrential rain, gale force winds, unseasonably low temperatures, it can only mean one thing, the great British festival season's arrived and we're about to set off for a weekend of live outdoor music, camping in the forest and muddy fun. Bring it on, I say, it sure beats sitting at home and watching the telly.
I've emptied Asda's shelves of cans of gin & tonic, there's a couple of gallons of pear cider, fancy cheese & fresh olives in the cool box and my case is stuffed with everything from waterproofs, fake fur, floral garlands, sequins, bikinis, thermals, false eyelashes, woolly hats, sunglasses, shorts, headbands and fingerless gloves.

Have a brilliant weekend.
See you soon.

Like I always say, if we Brits didn't get out and about in wet weather, we'd never go anywhere! Have a wonderful time and go knock 'em bandy love.xxxxx
ReplyDeleteIts blowing a gale here, so I hope it blows away all this bad weather and lets the sun shine for you. Am sure you will have a smashing time, hope Gilbert enjoys it too X
ReplyDeleteHope you have loads of fun Vix. Love the nightie dress it is so cute!
ReplyDeleteDx
Love your dress. You should write a book on festival chic.
ReplyDeleteOh, this is EXACTLY the vision I needed at this exact moment - you in those brilliant polka dots and neon socks with a bubble-gum red case, smiling under an umbrella in gale force winds, ready to have fun! Only you could have high-heeled wellies - great friend to have found them. Thank you for this!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a fabulous time. I would have packed some Twizzlers too, addictive wretched red licorice - you can slurp drinks through them like a straw if you bite off the ends. Okay I stopped doing that when I was, um, eight?, but they would add a certain je ne sais quoi to gin.
Have a grand old time and whatever you do do not lose that gorgeous brollie!! Looking forward to your blogs on your return ♥
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful time - at least the weather forecast for Saturday is a little bit better. Love your 'revamped nightie' dress - totally fabulous print and colours.

ReplyDeleteoooh posh cheese and olives in the cool box - there's a thought. It was too long without refridgeration for anything like that on holiday but when I camp at Vintage next month I'll be sure to stock up!
ReplyDeleteYou look great, I'm hopping over to your next post to read more about that scary owl and everything else you got up to!
(I'm still catching up on older posts)
ReplyDeleteYou look great as always but my favourite item has to be the vanity case! I found a similar one at PDSA a few months ago, only smaller and navy! They're so beautiful, aren't they?
Hi, I really love love that little coral suitcase you are holding and the dark red boots rock. I love the way your orange socks are higher than the boots. I adore the very first picture, it looks true vintage.
