Sunshine Woohoo a taste of summer!!!

March8

Hello

Long time no typing my friends, I have been busy for the last three months as Jem and Tom have had a new baby boy called Zeb he is lush!!So I have been busy playing at home with the new addition to my family, its great fun but I have been shirking on the blogging front haven’t I? Oh well I am back now with a spring in my step, you will never believe it but I am two it two weeks, it seems like just yesterday that I started my blogging job, phew it comes to something when I start feeling old!! 

Anyway back to business me and Jem haven’t been to work much but it seems there is a lot going on behind the scenes in preparation for the summer all the clothing downstairs is 50% off and going quickly and there are lots of bits and pieces at the beach hut boutique that are half price too!But before you panic we are not closing down we are just having a spring clean sale to make room for the new and exciting summer stock and with all this sunshine it seems that summer is just around the corner!!

We are planning some decoration before the season starts, the shop is having a good spring clean and a lick of paint just in time for our new and exciting stock to arrive there is going to be loads to see and we are fed up of hearing all this stuff about ‘the credit crunch’ and ‘recession’ so with a positive paw we are moving forward to become a new and improved version of our old selves.  We are having a website overhaul too as there are a few things we are not happy with so keep your eyes peeled for them at www.thebeachhutboutique.co.uk and start shopping!!!

Happy days I am off to count sheep now as it is past my bedtime but it has been the only chance I have had to get back to work in ages, hopefully this is the first blog of an exciting new time, remember guys 2010 is a year to spend, spend, spend!!

Hi Guys

How are you all? I can’t believe its the 28th of April already and that this weekend is another Bank Holiday!! Whats news with the beach hut boutique? We have had a delivery of lovely jewellery, soaps and smellies which smell gorgeous when you walk up the stairs and we are getting ready for more deliveries before the weekend!!

We have also just had in a huge range of our gone signs,  gone walking, gone surfing, gone to find a pub etc etc they are great and we even have a the dogs been fed/the dogs not been fed sign which is one of my particular favourites as I can keep turning it round and get more grub!!

I have had a quiet few weeks, I have been playing with Marvin (I have told you about him haven’t I?He is Rach and Wills black lab puppy he’s cool he scared me a bit in the beginning but I have the measure of him now!!!) and I have been generally having fun in the sun, the weather has been awesome hasn’t it!

We have the wizards of Harry Potter at Freshwater West at the moment and the Welsh surfing championships are due to be held there this weekend (surf permitting) we are all hoping for sun, surf and lots of visitors, good luck to all the Pembrokeshire Surf Ryders that are entering the Welsh, hopefully we will have a few Pembrokeshire winners!

See you all soon

Okay Okay I know what you are thinking RILEY BOY WHERE ON EARTH HAVE YOU BEEN?? All I can say is I am sorry, my birthday was a wild one and it has taken a while to recover from the partying and all the bones! So here I am and its been two weeks!I need to be more committed to my job I will be sacked if I carry on with this lazybones attitude!

So What has been going on? I am now ONE! I had an awesome time it was a three day affair with a pary at home with the folks, presents from my mate Sparky (he’s a few weeks older than me but he’s a springer too!) and my mates Archie and Dexter and my beautiful girlfriend Maisy, then at the weekend me, Jem and Tom went up North to The Blue Lagoon at Abereiddy I went for the swim of all swims and considered not coming back for hours but Jem and Tom were waiting and to be honest I swallowed too much seawater so I called it a day! After the blue lagoon we went down to St.Davids for food and we caught up with Archie, Dexter and Maisy (Woof) had an awesome time because we all went to Whitesands after lunch had photos (which I will upload in a minute – Check me out!) then headed to the Sloop in Porthgain for a pint before rolling home and chilling Phew! What a day!

Enough about my birthday anyway down to business! The Beach Hut Boutique what new there??Well The draw is being done tomorrow one of our lucky mailing list will win £100 Gift Voucher to spend with us (If you haven’t already joined get on there now you have until 5pm tomorrow!!!) Other news is there are about to be a load of The Beach Hut Boutique leaflets winging their way around the county so keep your eyes peeled for us and pop over to say hello!!

I can’t believe Easter is less than two weeks away!! Are you all sorted? We have some lush chickens!!!We are going to do our Easter window display Saturday because Jem is away until then and I am on holiday in Freshwater East Bliss, food, beach, sunshine (hopefully) chilling with my friends floss and mischa woohoo.

So I’m going to leave you too it and go an play with all of Floss’s toys (it really makes her mad haha) but before I go I will upload my recent photos

March16

Hello hello hello, What a day, the sun was shining weather was SWEET and I had a great day! The Beach Hut Boutique has been organised ready for tomorrows exciting delivery of new stuff just in time for mother’s day (which is this Sunday don’t forget!) I went to work with Tom again today met up with my mate Max and played ball for a bit I chilled out in the sun while Tom worked hard, I think we are in for a good summer this year, you should all come to Pembroke to see us and enjoy our gorgeous coastline, come on you know it makes sense!!!

Anyway after work I went home and wait for it…….WENT TRAMPOLINING! Yes little old me it was awesome you should have seen me out there! but now its teatime so I had better go, looking forward to catching up with you guys tomorrow I will tell you all about our new delivery!! See you later alligatorrrrrrrrrrrrrr        

Hi guys its sunday, where have I been this week??And where has this week gone?

March15

I haven’t been at the computer since monday, sorry guys I bet you thought I had disappeared!!  Tuesday I went to Fresh Water East again to my Colley grandparents house, I hung out with Floss for a bit while the family were eating Jays crepes, he is awesome at making them and as soon as Jem and Tom see that they are on the menu they don’t want to leave!!!Sweet or savoury I’m told both are equally amazing!!(personally I haven’t tried them as I am very conscious of what I eat, my girlfriend, likes me to be muscly!!yes I have a girlfriednd, I just haven’t told you about her yet!) so that was tuesday.

Wednesday Jem and Tom went out for the evening so I went to pick up their niece Sadie from school with Nan and Pops Fairclough and popped to Sams house and there I saw my girlfriend (SWOON!) she’s lush her name is Maisy and she is a black and white cocker spaniel I LOVE HER! After seeing Maisy I went back with Nan and Pops to their house for the night and had a wild time with their two spaniels Archie and Dexter, they have been my best mates from the start, they are brothers and we have a great time together they are a hoot!

What else have I been up to? I went to work with Jem Thursday and watched her sort out the attic, there will be a gallery up there before we know it! Its looking good already and will be finished well before our visitors arrive if all goes to plan!

Friday night was a quiet one Jem and Tom had dinner with my  Colley grandparents so I had lots of people to play with which is always cool. 

 Then yesterday, me and Tom went home after work (I mostly go to work with Tom and play with my mate Max all day, we get into allsorts of trouble, its great fun!) to find not just Jem but Jem and her three nieces, I love having them round I’m normally bouncy but when they are round I’m like Tigger from Winnie The Pooh, they went to the cinema saturday night but they played with me all day today, I have been trampolining, we had a huge waterfight when all the girls were washing The Beach Hut Boutique Beetle (The Green Machine) we were all soaked!!Then my favourite part of the day a walk around carew mill in the sunshine, its one of my favourite places because its always peaceful, I get to go for a walk but I ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS go for a swim (after I learnt last month there’s no stopping me!!)

Anyway to the news of the shop, we are expecting a new delivery Tuesday which is always exciting we just have to find places to put it all and photograph it all for the website (It should be online by the end of next week hopefully!) I promise I won’t leave it until next week to get back in touch, I have been a busy bee this week but will make time this week! Hope evrything is good with you and I’m aiming to take some photos this week for you!!

Speak soon Riley WOOF
