Autumn Wishing in a Welsh Village





Thank you for all the comments about my hair.  I'm quite pleased with it considering I did it myself. I'm looking forward to experimenting around it with my clothes and make up.  Speaking of which, a few of you commented on the sneak peaks of this dress from my last couple of posts. Well, here it is in all it's glory.   It's another vintage Etsy purchase from the States which I paired with a high street denim jacket and my Dr Marten knee boots for comfort and practicality.  These pics were taken last week during a trip to the Welsh village of Llanfyllin.  We stayed in an 18th century converted mill which, at dusk, looked like this 








It was set in it's own sweeping secluded grounds with a stream and a bridge, blackberry bushes and nooks and crannies aplenty.  The weather was extremely changeable but it didn't matter.  

In fact, lying in bed one night with the duvet wrapped around my neck reading on my phone so as not to disturb a sleeping 5 month old, I realised that Autumn seemed to have suddenly arrived out of nowhere and I was more than ready for it.  I'm ready for tights and cardigans.  Ready for more cuddling up and wrapping the baby in his giant rainbow blanket.  Ready for more darkness and fog and seeing my breath in front of me in the morning

Am I the only one?

  1. What a great place to stay. Love the frock, and I can't believe how much you suit being blonde! Funny, I always thought red hair was very much you, but now I think blonde all the way.
    Autumn - nooooo! I am definitely not ready, I don't want to be back in tights yet, it feels too early. But it does feel chilly, doesn't it? Summer's lease has all too short a date... xxxx

  10. Gorgeous pictures! and nope, you're definitely not the only one... I love the thought of a trip to a little country cottage in Autumn when it's crisp and bright outside and a rainy windy evening is just the perfect excuse to stay in and read. Though I'm sure 3 months or so of typical freezing cold Belfast weather will have me wishing for summer again :)
