Yves And Simon's Big Day

The day finally arrived for Yves and Simon to celebrate their Civil Partnership. OK it was yesterday, but as I was a 'best women' my day was filled with plenty of official duties. So only have had a chance to upload a photo today.

Pulling together my outfit turned out to be far easier than I was expecting and got off to a great start when I found this amazing 1960's vintage dress at a 'pop up' vintage fair a few months back. The colours for the day were pink and blue, these Pink Primark shoes and my mother's necklace fit the bill. A last minute purchase of a fascinator from Accessorize and a charity shop scarf were the final touches needed.

My New Hair Cut

After months of growing my hair, it is long enough to be cut into a Louise Brooks style. With a slight curl, I use plenty of products and a straightener to achieve the slick look. Tomorrow I am the 'Best Women' in a friends Civil Partnership,so there is much to do today, including writing a speech.

It Is A Sign

The joy of learning a new language is that you need to practice, practice, practice. Today I am getting together with a deaf friend to do just that and push my sign language abilities to the limit.

International Beach Volleyball

Chilli Fiesta

It is time to stock up on new chilli plants, so we are heading off to West Dean for their yearly Chilli Fiesta.  There is no shortage of  spice and flavour and I am looking froward to getting my hand on a few bars of chilli chocolate.
