Today neither Mum or I were in work (I had an appointment first thing, wonderful!) so we went on one of our random jaunts over to Clevedon.
Outfit for the day…
Our first stop was a row of boutique style shops where we often shop for gifts. It’s especially fabulous for quirky jewellery like my “dance…” bangle, though mission today was un-successful.
On the way back to the car we cut through a park. Quiet, unassuming, then…SQUIRRELS. So many of the things. Such cuties, I tried to get more photos but damn, they move fast!
We stopped on a bench to watch them for a bit.
It was a lovely day, rare sunshine! We also went in to the centre of the town and had lunch at a favourite cafe of ours that does amazing poached egg on toast (any poached egg is amazing to me, so long as I haven’t made it!) and had a wander around the shops.
Last stop on the way home was Waitrose where we bought some massively reduced Christmas goodies…30 cards for 85p and Christmas marshmallows for 25p anyone?!
I’m at work tomorrow and Friday, I’m sure there will come a time when I resent it but right now even getting up early doesn’t phase me as I’m up by 6 most days regardless!
Are you an early bird?

It’s fun watching squirrels. I like the pics you took in the park with your mum, yourself, and the cute squirrel. I love the colour of those tights too.
LOVE the print if your dress. I’m a morning person for sure. I love to sleep in but I don’t like wasting the day. X
Such a pretty dress! I can’t believe you’re up by 6 most days! I am the total opposite – it takes forever for me to get out of my bed. “Just press snooze one more time… agh, late!”
love your dress!
xoxo

That picture of you on the bench enjoying the winter sunshine brought a tear to my eye, Laura. You look so happy, pretty and healthy…you’ve come a long way, baby! xxx
I love your mauve ensemble – I need more tights so I cna start matching my tights to my outfits!
Plus love the cute squirrel!
YEs I’m an early bird 🙂
I get up everyday soon to take care of my Grandma, so when I can indeed wake up late, I never do, because I’m so used to do it so early!
It’s great that you had such a great day with your mum ^^
ANd all those cards for just a few pence!! what a bargain!

Oh, and the squirrels are just SO cute ^^
I love getting uo early when its light, but this time of year my body considers it plain wrong to be dragged out of bed by 6:30. Pretty dress 🙂

That dress really suits you! Glad you had a nice day with your mum, I love poached eggs too :p xx
SO jealous you can get up at 6am! I used to be an early bird but Uni soon stopped that habit and now I hate getting up at half 6 for work! Sounds like you had a lovely day with your mum, and those squirrels are adorable!xx
You look perfect in purple xoxo

You are just too cute–I can’t get over your outfits!
xoxo
Your dress is so pretty and looks great with your purple tights.
Love the outfit 🙂
Hmm, I am generally an early bird and I like being so but the winter weather makes getting up a little difficult. So productive though.
Sounds like a lovely low key day. Love all of the purple
squiggles! hehe. so cute. i am not a morning person at all. well, i am more so than scott, but i like to sleep in until past 8 oclock.
Sounds like a lovely day you had there.
Mmm…am an early bird on the days I don’t have work.
xx:)
I love the purple hues on you- your tights collection is unparamounted!
I used to be a proper early bird but alas, now that I need to be, I can’t seem to find the energy to get out of bed early enough! OOps

naww what a cute little squirrel. Love the purple tights!
You look beautiful as always and those squirrels are adorable. I used to be a very early riser but I’ve gone the other way now! xxx
Noooooo i love my bed. It’s my fav place 🙂
Those purples are lovely on you. Sounds like a nice day with your mam.
I’m usually a morning person but haven’t been sleeping of late so finding it harder to get up.

Cuuuute squirrels! I love the mix of blue and purple on you.
I love this! I was looking through your posts – you have impeccable taste, darling.

I am so not an early bird, I’m a as late as humanly possible bird, hence the very often past midnight commenting, lol! I love the purple tights, they are a great shade. The squirrel is so cute, I saw lots in Canada and where we were staying in the national park they will literally come and eat off your hand unlike the ones in the UK, so I have some mega shots.
I also got massively reduced christmas cards in Tesco last week, some seriously cute fawn, bunny and squirrel ones actually for 75p instead of £3.50 for 30!

Wow 6am! I am definitely not an early bird. My usual sleep times are 3am-12pm. I’m pleased you had an enjoyable day. I love your dress and it looks great with the purple tights.
no one wears color tights bettr that you 🙂
those are pretty good photos of the squirrels even though they are fast creatures. sorry your shopping day was unsuccessful, I hate when that happens.

Your dress is gorgeous! That color looks beautiful on you.
You look lavender delicious! I’m an early bird… the days when I don’t work;)
The plum colors are just perfect on you! Glad you had a great day.
I used to be an early bird when I was in school and wish I could still be one, but I have trouble sleeping at night and need 8-10 hours so I end up getting up quite late! 8 am is early for me!

It’s strange; in the week I’m an early bird, but at the weekend I am a late riser.

Lovely pretty dress! The squirrels here are so tame, they freak me out a bit >.<
When I went to Baylor, Ben and I loved to take walks on campus and watch the squirells.
LOVING all those purple tones! You look beautiful!
I WANT to be an early bird because you get so much more done, but I just love my bed too much! xx
There are many squirrels about in England, I was amazed! I even once saw a rat chase a squirrel.
Cute outfit by the way!
Looks like you had a great day out! Love the ditsy print dress 🙂 I wish I was an early riser, I find it so hard to get going in the morning!

Oh you did well with the squirrel photos! We’ve got loads at work but they scamper about like flipping greased lightning and they’re so hard to take photos of!
I love your colored tights! Always had such a fun element to outfits.
I am new to your blog and loving it!
Ooooh! Love the purple on purple. Such a cute look!
