It's truly amazing how bit of sunshine lifts my mood. Although my attitude towards the weather is usually 'we live in England..get over it', I have to admit I'm starting to feel a little bit worn down by the rain and snow and generally feeling cold all the time. Looking out of the window I can just see another tiny sprinkle of snow settling on the branches of the trees. I'm going to sit here hugging a cup of creamy hot chocolate and dream that one day soon spring will come. I took this photo of the west pier in Brighton on a blazing day last summer . The pier burnt down about 7 years ago and it's skeleton has been slowly crumbling into the sea ever since, somehow I think it still looks quite pretty.

Wondering around the V & A on a quiet afternoon. It's such a gorgeous building full of amazingly inspiring things, it melds the past and present together beautifully. Sadly I don't wonder round museums as often as I'd like to now days, but occasionally I have a 'secret day' - take the day off work, tell no one what I'm doing or where I'm going and go off somewhere for a self indulgent time.
