See: Balmedie Beach

I went home to Aberdeen at the weekend and we took a day trip out to Balmedie which has the most beautiful sand dunes and beach. If you are in the area it is totally worth taking a 30 minute drive out of the centre as you can look back on the city and the main promenade strip and then out to the North Sea. I also recommend taking a picnic as you can sit in a dune bunker and keep some of the breeze off or just go for it on the beach itself and enjoy the views. I used to come here loads growing up, either with holiday playschemes or with family so it was nice to take Mark out and show him. It was a bit different from my last visit which was a dj night that you had to find by just following the music!

 

Spotlight: Thornback and Peel

Thornback and Peel have given classic imagery their own twist in their range of iconic prints. Design duo Juliette and Delia get inspiration from fairtytales and victorian wood carvings creating a distinctive realism that they print on to linen, cotton and silk then wrap beautifully in boxes and ribbon. What I really like about them is there passion to keep production in Britain. Their studios are in London, print is sent out to Leamington Spa and their next move into plates and crockery will be done in Staffordshire helping to support the famous ceramics industry in the area. I can't wait to see what they create next!
