Islands in the Sun x

It’s the last day before half term starts..seems to have whizzed past. I can remember standing at the school gates thinking I thought this day would never come..I’ve been standing at the same gates for the last week, praying for half term. The kids are on their knees…so am I…we all need a break, chill-out time and long walks by the sea..

We’re hoping to head back to Kent, the husband’s work permitting, for a bit of nostalgia and basic living. I can feel my heart singing just at the thought..

So I’ve just got to get my act together today…2 coffee dates, 2 playdates, send back a pair of boots that arrived in the wrong colour, wrap Bella’s birthday presents (her eighth birthday on Sunday. Can’t believe it), pack cake ingredients n tins, source creative stuff to take with us (requested by Bella: Another heart singing moment) and a few board games and a football, pack for everyone (still hate)…and then leave the house spotless as we have relatives arriving whilst we’re away..shouldn’t be too hard!

I’ll just keep looking at these dream kitchens and pretend it’s my reality…or that I have staff!

Laters, Kate x

Great inspiration, and I’m currently working on a kitchen design that has an island, and I really enjoy the project. Hope you can get some rest, wishing you a great weekend, dear.

I love all those kitchens – the creams and the wood go together so well! I will have to keep dreaming!

the huge kitchen is such a dream! 🙂 I’m in the middle of house renos right now and coming up with a kitchen plan that includes an island and a bartop/countertop looking into the living room 🙂

Half term. I’ve never heard of it.

Those kitchens look lovely. I’m not sure which one I want so I’ll take one of each.
