It's not grim up north...

I'm up in York and blogging from my dads house. It's been good so far. My daughter has seen her cousins and we chazzed til we dropped in York yesterday. I found something very cool which I'll have to show you another time as it's too dark to photograph it now.

I just wanted to share with you this little vintage boutique we stumbled upon.

This is 'Purple Haze' on Fossgate.

Apart from having a great name and lovely vintage clothing on two floors, they have the coolest, most fabulous dressing rooms I have ever seen.

Check this out...

They have vintage wardrobes as dressing rooms! They've taken out the floor and the back, used some lovely wallpaper and a rug, and hey presto...utter perfection!

And there was another one...

Isn't that clever? It's like Narnia. Without all the snow and little talking animals. I want to do this in my home! I cannot think of a better way to access the walk in wardrobe I shall one day build!

Today we visited Filey which is a little seaside town. I can't remember the last time I went. It's got a huge beach and is very un commercialised which I like.

The kids and I had a bracing paddle in the freezing North Sea.

Here I am with my trousers rolled up...

Sadly I was lacking the knotted hanky on my head.

Back soon with my charity shop score...
