I am really enjoying this slightly cooler change to the weather. This morning I went in to the city and had coffee with a friend, well I had a nice big hot chocolate with marshmallows because I don’t drink coffee I was looking up at some of the beautiful old buildings that are no longer used and thinking what a pity it is. In the city here, there are shops on the ground floor of most of the buildings but the old facades are still above and most of the upper floors are empty. I’ve actually been up in to one of the abandoned hotels and it was quite spooky, but beautiful in a derelict kind of way. I would love to take photos there.

This afternoon Skwerlie and Leah came over to work on crafts. They made some pretty jewelry, Leah had an adorable little bracelet with glass hearts and was making matching earrings and Skwerlie made a beautiful blue and white pearl necklace with a bow, they are so talented! I just baked away at the Petit Miel pâtisserie, making biscuits and cream and strawberries ready to go on some accessories for my store. I am still organising packaging and I need to get some fastenings, but I hope to be able to start selling things very soon!
