Happy Holidays

I know that it has been a little bit quiet here at Amelie's house. It's wedding season so I have been whipping up wedding cakes in a fog of icing sugar. And before I launched into full steam cake mode Mr Lemon Drizzle and I took our kidlets to the US for a couple of weeks holiday. We started in Boston, then moved on to Cape Cod finishing up in New York. It was blissful and I have spent the weeks since a bit depressed that I can't spend my time swanning around the world drinking cocktails and eating ice cream.

Remember the days before Facebook when you would visit friends or family and they would force you to sit and watch slide shows of their holiday snaps? Well this is the blogging equivalent! To be fair I did take millions of pictures and I am only showing you a teeny tiny portion of them, including a very fetching one of me looking wistful on the beach! 

We went whale watching off Provincetown in Cape Cod. Apparently it is a really great year for spotting whales, we saw over twenty including this calf playing around and jumping (breaching) in and out of the water.

I hope that you enjoy my snaps of the US.

And here is an instagram of a few of my souvenirs.

Lets Go Fly A Kite

What a miserable rainy day it's been here in the UK.  So what better to cheer yourself up than a look back at holiday snaps?

We were in Morcambe last week for a lovely relaxing holiday in my parent's seaside house (pictures here)

The first day of our hols it was the annual Morcambe "Catch the Wind" kite festival.

We have somehow managed to miss this event every year which is a shame, as it is really fantastic to see all the kites together. I think I like the diver best!

I hope it's warm and breezy with you.
