June was a fairly busy month! Lots of work, which hasn’t been great for content, but there’s a little there. And at the end of the month a fun family visit! July is not quite as hectic. For now though, I am starting the month as I always do, sharing my bujo, and this month I have a nautical journal theme!
There’s a bit of black… and definitely red… I may have strayed from the monochrome theme a little this month.

This post would have originally been our first car show since the pandemic, but thanks to some inclement weather, it was cancelled! Not to waste a day off we decided to head down to St Mawes Castle, an English Heritage site, not too far from Falmouth.
This was a fun impromptu day out to make up for the lack of show! We visited from about 2pm, and they close at 5 on a Sunday. You can of course check the website for opening times and prices.

Pendennis is a fun day out, with lots of sunny open space, great views, and lots to explore! From Tudor history, to “modern” wartime history. You can find more information on the English Heritage website, including prices and opening times.

In this post I thought I’d keep it brief, but share how we changed our bedroom simply by changing the paintwork! I’d still consider it a bit of a work in progress, but it looks miles better now!
