Good Morning Lovelies! Hope this post finds you all well?
I have been wanting to visit the new Cath Kidston Outlet shop at Gunwharf Quays in Portsmouth for a while now.
Upon mentioning this to my In Laws, they kindly offered to take the children and myself on a little day trip. So yesterday morning, as it was gloriously sunny,
we packed our bags and headed for Portsmouth!
This is the Spinneaker Tower, it has a viewing point at the top, with fabulous along the coastline. We didn't head up there today, but if you visit Portsmouth it's well worth a trip up!
Lot's of wonderful boats in the Marina. These are Spitfires from the 2nd World War
After a nosey around the lovely shops, and a visit to Cath Kidston, where I purchased a GoRgEoUs new oven glove, some pretty washi tape and a sweet green floral key fob (plus MIL got my birthday present in there too!! A BeAuTiFuL floral canvas handbag and matching purse!! Yay!! But have to wait til November to get it, which is ages away, I know, but well worth looking forward to!)
We headed off to the beach for a spot of lunch.
It was sooooo warm, which was a welcome change from the cold and grey of recent days!
We watched the hovercraft come and go!
We threw stones into the lovely blue waters
Toes were warmed!
A wonderful time was had by all!!
I do hope you all managed to get a glimpse of the sun yesterday too!

Lovely photos, and I know just how you felt wandering round the CK shop - it's like being spoilt for choice, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteWas it only yesterday the sun shone? I'm reading this watching a small river flow by the dining room window, which used to be the lane! What strange weather to be sure.
