Marthas Vineyard

For some reason, whether it's influence from a movie, book or a glossy travel brouchure, most of us have a destination high on our agenda to visit, just once in our life.

I always had a thing for Cape Cod and Marthas Vineyard.

One of my last trips overseas was to New York, (which, by the way, is years ago now!) so I made sure and organized a trip to Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard to finish the holiday.

It was everything I had dreamed of and more. So pretty, picturesque, private and a haven for artists! Here are just some of the images I remember from that wonderful time. Hope I can return one day...

R.I.P.

My beloved Birkis... have had them for about 5 years and sadly have blown out in the toe and are destined for the rubbish.

I thought they deserved a special blog send off ...

... before the kids get to them and do what they've always wanted to do ...

...colour them in !
