What a lovely blogging break I've had and a lovely summer - I know summer's not over yet but for me August is the beginning of the end and the last few weeks disappear in a flash.
I have been busy, a lot of it mundane but Mr. Bloom and I managed a few days summer break. I'm not a huge fan of great long summer holiday posts, so I'll just summarise with a few pics.
There were drives through pretty towns and villages
Wildlife
Window shopping
Country houses and gardens
A visit to the seadside - along with the rest of the world - ha ha!
More window shopping

Train rides
Finding the prettiest bandstand I've ever seen.
and the prettiest park gates.
A rare sight on this blog - me!
and of course, finding treasures
More busy days to come as at the end of August I have a stall at the Costwold Vintage Fair - this is a new event and I'm really excited to be taking part. So of course, having re-surfaced in blogland I'll promptly be disappearing again as the mad panic and frenzy begins. See you in September!
