I love this 1930’s brooch I found a while back made from very early plastic – I would also love a cruise on this serene pale pink sailboat
I found this in an indoor fleamarket in Arundel, a pretty and very quintessentially English town in West Sussex brimming with tea rooms and enjoyable tweeness. A few of went on an expedition for my birthday and had a superb day exploring old churches, rummaging in bookshops, trying some of the excellent rustic fodder at The Swan and ending the night with bargain whiskies before jumping on the last train home – much recommended day out from London.
Arundel also has this utterly majestic castle – although a walk around it after dark for some reason suddenly gave me the jitters, my overactive imagination made me convinced I was going to see a hooded monk lunge at me from the darkness so I scarpered back to the glow of the high street. It looks like a fabulous place to visit in daylight hours though (if you can stretch to the killer £20 entry fee)
