The last few days have been ones of extremes. After being busy for the first couple of weeks of my holiday I spent the start of this week doing very little and sleeping alot, trying to convince my body that it wanted to go back to work in about 10 days time. The yesterday I went into central London to Oxford Street to go shopping. It was great to make the most of the shops which are both bigger and more varied than those on the island, making buying jeans that fit my 5"2' frame much easier. I also managed to buy a pair of boots that fit me to the extent that I could even fit a pair of jeans inside of them. This is the end of about four years of searching for boots that fit my feet (size 4 1/2) yet also fit around my legs (combination of genetics and dancing).
I then spent today walking the dogs in the forest, baking, sewing and blogging. I love the fact that here I am near enough to London to enjoy the culture and benefits of a big city, yet far enough away that when the riots happened we were out of harms way (only just one night, but still), to be in the country side, able to buy bread from the bakers each day and meat from the butchers when we need it. It really is the best of both worlds.
