Follow Friday.

Welcome to the weekend! 

I like weekends and beaches. I'm not going to the beach...it snowed here today, so that would be a bad idea - but the above photograph was taken when I was feeling particularly joyful in beautiful Cornwall. Anyway, I thought I would do something a bit different on the ol'blog after I got the urge to join in with 'follow friday' on twitter. I'm going to share a few nice things I discovered this week that are worth sharing with you lovely people.

Sarah's nice new things:

1) Whilst in the bath, I usually use my 'Country Radio App' to listen to well, Country music -most of  the stations are in America and my favourite is: Rocky Mountain Radio. I heard a group on there yesterday called 'The Wailin' Jennys.' Their music is beautiful, they have incredible harmonies and it's really folksy. Check them out - they have a facebook page and a website. 

2) Hope for Justice - really exciting stuff is going on over there relating to freedom - take a look at what they do! Love.

3) Autumnal Trees. Something about them this year has completely captivated me, more so than ever before! I don't know why that is...but it's the way it is. I've been taking pictures of nearly every nice tree I've seen. Here are the latest:

4) Avacados. No idea why - always used to hate them - now I adore them. YUM.

5) My A21 Campaign Bracelet. It arrived this week all the way from Australia and I love it...makes a nice big statement! 

6) Martha Stewart. The American legend continues to provide me with easy, yummy, scrummy, fool proof recipes. Any time I get the urge to bake, she has the answer. 

7) Watching Films. I've watched so many films lately...some have been good, some have been absolute bobbins. I have really enjoyed: 'It's Kind of a Funny Story' and 'Made in Dagenham.' Very entertaining.

8) Being back in wooly jumpers. I got my winter wardrobe out a couple of days ago - handy because of the aforementioned snow. I have invested in a wooly poncho with reindeer on it that makes me feel like Clint Eastwood and a big burgundy beauty that had £12 off the other day.

9) The Pistol Annies. These gals are amazing...their album makes me laugh. They all have amazing country voices and an endearing honesty. http://www.pistolannies.com/

10) Relevant Magazine. I LOVE their articles, they always challenge me, make me think and inspire me to write in response. They also gave me a LOT of free music when I subscribed to their iPad edition. Take a look.

11) The American Election. I've been labelled a 'geek' amongst my peers because I've been following the debates pretty closely. I find it all so fascinating and I've been trying to make sure I take a more balanced and educated view on life. If I were able to vote in that election I think I would still vote Obama - but I don't know what it's like to live as an American so that's from an outsiders point of view!

12) Ending this list on an even number. Can't cope with odd ones.

Much Love xxx
