Having grown up in the countryside I have always
had a bit of a soft spot for Barbour and love all that they stand for!
On a little Twitter stroll this week I came across a competition they
were hosting across social media and it ignited a little bit of excitement in
me! Firstly because the prize is just a bit fabulous.. stylish yet practical
can it get any better? But more so for the challenge they are setting their
follower!

Using the #BarbourPicnicRug they are encouraging followers to
share how they are making the most of their Summer. .. this is the part that made
me squeal like a little girl, as for the first time in a while I am going to be
filling my Summer full of the things that make me happy! Some may see this
selfish but after a long old time of ensuring others are happy now is my chance
for some me time.
For those of you who follow me on Instagram you will know by now that back in May our family grew by 4 paws!
One of the things i’m really excited about this Summer is to enjoy sitting out
enjoying scrummy picnics in the garden with the pup, sipping Pimms and getting
lost into a good book… Utter Bliss!
A new chapter in my life will begin to be
written in a couple weeks when I move down to Bournemouth in my first ‘proper’
place of my own. Being a stones throw away from the beach will mean lots of
time spent with the sand between my toes and the odd beach BBQ or two(or possibly 3!!).
My blog will also be taking a front seat over the
next couple months as despite the likelihood of being arrested by the grammar police on several occasions I absolutely love writing and sharing my thoughts
and experiences.
I will also be working on my side line
business The Dream Body Project which I can’t wait to grow further and to help
others build their dreams (ok despite a me summer I can’t help but sneak a
little bit of helping others in there to).
This summer for me is all about the staycation
and enjoying the delights that Dorset has to offer which I look forward to
sharing with you here at Metallic Magpie. There are so many wonderful places and attractions to visit
locally that I never really get the chance to explore.

I am also really looking forward to simply taking
a step back from the hecticness of every day life, and putting a few plans into place on what I want to focus on over the next couple months.
This will also include baking, finding new healthy recipes and a
little bit of journal writing(I have wanted to
start my project life for a long time but simply haven’t given
myself the time!).
I can’t wait to get cracking with my summer plans and I am
sure you would agree they would be made that extra bit more perfect with the
addition of a Barbour rug!
What are your summer plans? Are you going
away or having staycation like me?
Love Liv xXx
