Amazing photos by 15 year old Olivia Bee. This girl is going places!

poor little thing

Its inorganic time in my BF's neighbourhood, & the sight of this abandoned, broken bike made me feel a wee bit sad. 

Poor bike. I was tempted to take it home for some tender loving care.

AWOL posts & leo

My blog is being a bitch & I cant see any of my posts.... im sure they're there, somewhere...

Meet Leo everyone, isnt he gorgeous??!! I went up north for a wedding & this was one of the dogs at the house I was staying at. God, you should have seen the house - AMAZING!!! views to die for. I wish I was still away...

ive been tagged...

Ive been tagged by Sara over at Sara Says Awesome, & have been trying to think of 6, slightly interesting, random tihngs to tell you about - its difficult, but here goes!...

1. I hate coffee.

I cant say 'lets goes for a coffee' I have to say 'lets got for a coffee, oh, but i wont have a coffee, Ill have a chai'. On the flip side I love the smell of coffee & coffee flavoured things. weird?

2. I am platinum blonde, 6 foot tall & not a model!!

I finally let my hairdresser (who is amazing, may I add!) loose on my hair & now strangers think they recognize me from magazines...ummm, no!

3. I used to moonlight as a bartender (think Tom Cruise in Cocktail!!) & am now applying to moonlight as an ambulance officer!

Ill be designing home accessories by day & sticking plasters by night!!

4. I know every word to (almost) every song but if you ask me who the artist is or the name of the song I couldn't tell you.

this is the closest i have ever been to watching star wars - so funny!!

I have never watched star wars. When I die, my tombstone will say -

Carina

1982 - ??

never watched star wars.

It will be my claim to fame. Oh, & my real name isn't Carina. Carina isn't even my middle name, but thats what everyone knows me as. Its confusing!!

6. I have a 1977 1303-S fuel injected vw beetle. Its one of the loves of my life. She could fly up the bombays*, but has momentarily retired from the road so she can be lovingly restored. 

* the bombays are a steep hill range that even the fastest, newest, cars at times struggle to drive up!!

those glamour days

How come I dont look this glamourous when I spend a day at the pool or beach? Is it the bathing caps?

my most random post ever...

Do you remember the plans you had years ago that got brushed under the carpet as you grew up?

Well, I remembered one of mine today - to open a pie shop in Holland. Yum! I know the dutch would dig it :)

What are your forgotten plans & dreams?
