Hi.

Welcome to my blog. I mainly post about my sewing projects, as I’m building a colourful and comfortable everyday wardrobe suitable for a working mum of primary school children. I really love African wax fabric, so that features heavily. I also occassionally post about family life in Edinburgh and travel. Hope you have a nice stay!

Cascais (Project 52: 13/52)

Cascais (Project 52: 13/52)

I haven’t yet got round to writing the big proper ‘what we did in Lisbon’ post yet, but I’m trying to not fall behind too much with the project 52 photos, so here’s a few from Cascais, a beach town about half an hours train journey out of Lisbon that we went to one of the days for lunch, beach and ice crea. Mainly just of the boys as I was trying to get some good shots for the weekly photos but I’ve stuck in the phone ones in as well.

Milo and Dave played frisbee on the beach for ages and Ellis drew lines in the sand that were tram tracks. And I missed a bit on my chest with sun cream, so got a bit burnt. I tan easily and don’t usually burn but I suppose my skin has scottified after all this time.
