It feels weird posting these on a day when it was probably 23 degrees and glorious, but a couple of weeks ago, when I went to Bristol for an exceptionally difficult weekend, it was completely baltic. This March was the coldest on record or something in the UK, no? Luckily, this coat by Family Affairs, a Christmas present that had been lost in the post, (the designer had to send me another one, the Spanish post is absolutely awful and I'm convinced the first one got stolen by somebody in the handling chain), arrived two days before I went, and made the -2 degree weather slightly more bearable.
On a strange, mournful Sunday afternoon, Albert and I drove across the bridge from Bristol to Wales, to walk around a blustery castle, pose by a lovely 19th century iron bridge, and then warm up with cider at the local pub.
oh good so it's not just me wearing sweaters and hats! everything you're wearing is so cute:)
ReplyDeleteAre those birds still pecking your head? Hope you are well! You loook lovely in your new coat (but cold!) Nice that you and Albert had a Welsh trip!x
ReplyDeleteLovely pics! My sister is drooling over them, she loves the Uk! And I adore your coat, looks so cozy and timeless, the red tights made my day!

ReplyDelete@Kezzie: Yes and no! Things are more resolved, but equally head-pecky.

ReplyDeleteMy neck of the woods! I've been visiting family in warmer climates so I don't envy you having to wear a coat, even one as fabulous as that! I do love your bobble hat and amazing jumper combo!

That's such a bummer your coat got lost in the mail, but convenient the new one arrived on time! You look very wintry and lovely. Cider at a Welsh pub sounds idyllic right about now..
ReplyDeleteThat coat is so lovely!

ReplyDelete@Phoebe: Really? Which one? Are you in Spain?
ReplyDeleteyou FINALLY got your coat?
ReplyDelete@Ashley: Seriously... at the end of March!
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, all of this! Wales, your coat, and that hat. All of this made me smile, Em! Though, I am sorry that this particular weekend was difficult and mournful. Sending hugs.
