Belle & Boo
There’s a new range at John Lewis by Belle & Boo with some simply gorgeous children’s clothes and party accessories for boys and girls. One of my favourite dresses in the new collection is the Toys Long Sleeved Dress and I love the Party Bunting.
Belle & Boo
The creator of Belle & Boo is Mandy Sutcliffe who was inspired by French children whilst she was staying in Paris. She found inspiration in the children playing in the many Parisian parks and would spend many hours drawing them. Et voilà the Belle & Boo range is beautiful, charming and delightful!
Grandparents
We’ve had the most incredible and memorable time with Gran and Pa in New Zealand and enjoyed playtime in the park, picnics, eating ice cream, swimming in the pool, Wellington Botanical Garden, dressing up in fairy wings, days out in Wellington, splashing in the paddling pool, Birthday celebrations, walking in the bush, visits to Te Papa Museum, watering the garden and discovering wildlife, looking after Molly, eating outside, playing with Play Doh, seeing family and friends, playing in the garden, swimming in the sea, reading stories, paddling in rivers and days filled with fun, kisses and cuddles.
We returned home to London last night and Imogen is dearly missing her grandparents in New Zealand. Everyone we met on our journey home heard all about Gran and Pa, Imogen simply won’t stop talking about them. Daddy’s listening to stories of the adventures they had.
The distance between us makes it difficult to see one another regularly. As hard as it is being so far apart we have to look on the bright side and we’re already planning our next reunion.
Sea Fun at Days Bay
Some of the best beaches in Wellington are found in Days Bay near Eastbourne. There are cafes, restaurants, shops and several stretches of beautiful coastline with warm clear water.
The East by West Ferry takes passengers from Days Bay across the sea to Wellington city in 20 minutes. It would be the perfect location to live if you work in the city and want a relaxed lifestyle with the beach on your doorstep. There are some incredible walks in the Eastbourne area which is surrounded by hills and New Zealand bush.
