We are on summer holidays

Hello lovely friends.
First day back at work was a struggle, having been sleeping in till 8:00 in the morning, my body clock struggled to adjust. And what's worse is not enjoying the sun as much as we can. Before I went back to work we went beach hopping and op-shopping. I truly enjoyed the warm water and the peaceful lapping of waves by the shore. I found a few bits and pieces from a couple of charity shops. 
To those of you who are in the middle of winter right now, I wish I could share some beautiful warm weather with you. Thank you for visiting and your lovely messages.

I am joining Bernideen for Friends Sharing Tea Sandi for Tea Time Tuesday Martha for Tea cup Tuesday  Janet for Share your cup










A few yachts and boats were moored by the bay. While people went diving, snorkelling, fishing, swimming and sun baking.





Even the sea gulls are enjoying the sunshine and the fresh air

As you can see the water was so clear

Hope you don'tmind me, I just wanted to be part of the view

We took advantage of the sweet and juicy summer fruits like these mangoes. They are in abundance here down under this season.
We love to take our picnic basket, may it be at the beach, park or anywhere we can enjoy the view 
Below are my op-shop finds, a Winslow Homer replica painting on a music box, Royal Ascot cup and saucer, couple of Colclough cake plates, a pretty cup and saucer with pink roses, a wee oil painting and an English Cottage picture.
Below are my other op-shop finds, his and hers Australian Pottery mugs and an Ellgreave tea pot.
I love to end my day with a cup of tea. Below is one of my market finds,  De Olde English Grosvenor.

  8. The sea is beautiful, isn't it Aida? I have been longing to see it lately and took a trip there recently. What a cute picture that is of you on the rock. Your new English tea cup is so pretty, and I love that pink rose. I can't wait to plant some roses in the spring at my new home.

    Have a good week ahead, dear Aida.

    love, ~Sheri
