Back in July 2015, I posted about my
trip to Aldeburgh for the weekend and mentioned this lobster t-shirt which I had bought and had to return in aged 10 kids. It was sadly too small so last year in the Isles of Scilly, I was delighted to find the t-shirt in an aged 12.

Today, as I headed into town to pick up an irritatingly large parcel for CBC from the post delivery office (1 mile walk there, 1 mile walk back WITH large pouffe-sized parcel) I decided I needed a fun yet practical outfit and Mr Lawrence the Lobster made his debut.
Of course, I had to add my Erstwilder Lobster brooch, Mr Pinchy, who is also donning glasses and a moustache. It seems all the sartorial-based lobsters are dandies!
I wanted to shun trousers in favour of bare legs and a skirt so I wore this White Stuff reversible skirt. I do like a quirky print! Added to that, the Converse I bought back in 2006 when I was doing my PGCE and I walked from Holborn to Russell Square in some supposedly comfortable shoes which cut my feet to shreds. I really could not tolerate walking any more in them, they were that painful (blister city!) so I limped to the nearby Brunswick Centre and found these! Putting them in the Washing machine last year gave them a wonderful new lease of life!
The t-shirt is designed by Joules but it has the Isles of Scilly shop logo on the back!
The rest of the day was lovely as my friend invited me round to hers once again to have dinner and watch Doctor Who and then Austenland. CBC is out on a Duke of Edinburgh weekend so I was alone and very happy to see Doctor Who for a second week running. We had time for a delightful walk around the woods near her then watched the TV. Doctor Who was great though I felt a LOT was left unanswered by the episode- where did the creatures come from? Why were they there? Why did they do what they did? What happened to the rest of the family of the Chief protagonist and how did he survive if he was alone? Why every 20 years? Why was the loss of previous people not investigated?
Austenland was a DELIGHT! I was overjoyed to see the gorgeous JJ Feild (who I MET in real life
HERE) was back in a Regency suit!!! I will never grow tired of Jane Austen adaptations and spinoffs!!!
Hope you are all well and had a fun weekend!
