Another week end, and I find myself thinking....where did it go?? By my standards this was a very quiet week end, after an exhausting week at work, I was too tired to do much of anything. However we did decide to have a trip into Derby. Not the most exotic location I hear you cry!  Maybe not, but half an hour in Lush whisked me away on a voyage of discovery accentuated by the heavenly scents of faraway places- making this a most heavenly week end. The joy of Lush is being able to try the products, to get your hands in bowls of warm water and experience the luscious soaps, scrubs and bath bombs. Its so easy to close your eyes and drift away on a magical journey. This time I was transported to California with the smell of oranges and sunshine!! Needless  to say I spent way too much....oops.

After wandering around Westfield for a while and doing some more Christmas shopping (it is only 64 days away you know) we both decided we were tired and in need of lunch. Thankfully Derby is not short of pubs, and we stopped at the very pleasant Argosy to revive ourselves. The sizzling chicken was good, but the baked vanilla cheesecake with pieces of honeycomb on top was fabulous! Just what a tired Kathie needed.

Not every week end is going to take us somewhere new or exciting. But if you look closely enough, there is wonder and joy all around. It's sometimes stopping to enjoy the little things that makes an ordinary week end a heavenly one.
