We have been to Paris so many times now that we are having to be more original with our souvenirs so this time we just went to the supermarkets (although I couldn't resist the egg cup that was in the duty free at Gare du Nord! )

Bridge of locks
We left a lock on the Long de l'Archeveche bridge and threw the key into the Seine. We WILL return to see it soon!
Passage L'Homme
Paris has many secret places that are usually quite well hidden but with a bit of searching you can find them. Many streets have Passages leading off them, they usually have a name and each one is different.

Herb planters
I love Illy coffee and I love the tins the coffee cones in so I thought instead of throwing them away when empty I'd get some holes put in the bottoms and plant herbs in them.
Fairlight House
As part of St Michael's Hospice fund raising we went to Fairlight House which is on the outskirts of Hastings. In the 70's it was used in some of the Hammer Horror films.

Dead Simple
I'm loving this book by Peter James. His stories are set in Sussex which somehow makes them more interesting. He has written 25 novels and short stories, I have 4 of them so I will be rooting round boot sales and charity shops for the rest.

Pirate Day
It's Hastings annual Pirate Day today. We usually get dressed up and go along but this year they're not attempting to break the current record (which we hold) and it's very warm so we probably won't be going. It's a great day out with a great atmosphere and good publicity for Hastings.

Vintage tin
I bought this lovely tin for one pound at Icklesham boot sale on Sunday. You can find the stallholders on Facebook, look for Sue and Jayne's Nice Things

Cafe in the country
Can you think of a nicer setting for coffee and cake? St Johns Nursery, Etchingham, a hidden gem!
Pretty cottage
I love the name of this pretty cottage that was tucked away near Mayfield, East Sussex
Unbirthday
My birthday is 13th January. Year after year it gets ruined due to the winter weather so a few years ago we decided I would have an unbirthday on 13th July. It's really just an excuse to go out for the day however A has gone a little crazy this year and bought me a dozen roses and chocolates and even this pretty card! I am very lucky x

The Perfume Collector
This book looks interesting, but then again any book about perfume and Paris is bound to appeal!
