Clairey Birthday Bonanza!

views the best pictures

The reason for the name of the post is due to the fact I like to try and make my birthday last at least 3 days! haha!
Luckily, I have a boyfriend that puts up with me!
So, for my 30th we went to lovely Brighton
All the pics are from my phone, as dopey me forgot my camera!
I'd charged it and put it in the case ready aswell!
Oh well!

As soon as we stepped off the train the fresh, sea air hit me!

Lovely!

We've been quite a few times, so just decided to mooch around and enjoy the weather

Luckily the weather was gorgeous, despite all the bad forecasts

Ahh, the power of positive thought! :)

I know it may sound cheesy, but I truly feel alive when I'm near the sea

That's one thing I really miss about living in Wales (And family and friends of course-haha)

It was so hot, but the breeze was lovely!

Bliss!

I saw a lot of Fish & Chip shops had these sharks outside, bit strange!

I love the packaging, so cute!

I'd mentioned before that I wanted to get my main gifts from Etsy and I did!
Support handmade!

The pink quartz is from Paul's parents and the silver cloud is from Paul

As I've always said 'Dreams are necessary' I thought the cloud was quite fitting

The rings are from these shops in case you want to check them out

Pink quartz - Oh Kuol

Cloud ring - MIKOTITI

I love them both so much and the sellers are lovely

We had to visit the amazing Snoopers Paradise flea market

I could spend hours in there

I really wanted this little guy

When I was younger I was totally OBSESSED with trolls

Isn't this beautiful?

I loved this chair so much

We stopped for lunch at veggie restaurant Food for Friends

We got a starter and main special

It doesn't look to pretty, but the food was really good!

This beer is really yummy and refreshing

Amazing clouds on the way back

The day seemed to go so fast!

When I got home this was waiting for me!
A lovely card and cute postcards from the lovely Beth!
I love her artwork and her cat print is one of my faves
Thanks Beth, you're a sweetie!

I had to share this card my friend Nia sent me
Amazing!

Lovely flowers my mum sent
Other gifts I got was candles, lots of smellies and money! (Yay-My credit card was happy)

The rest of the evening we just cuddled up on the couch, got a bit tipsy and watched the telly
I couldn't have asked for a lovelier day!
I think Sisco wanted some champagne!
It's so funny, both Paul's parents and my mum sent a box with my pressies in
And in both was a little package for Sisco with treats in
So spoilt!
