You want to know me?

Take a look at my table......messy, too much stuff going on, crochet, notebook, recipes, books, wine, hand cream...what more could a girl need? My Table Some of you will have seen my table many times in pics, honestly it always looks like this. It is tiny, but I seem to be able to stack it…

Had an absolutely amazing day fruit picking today with the 8 yr old and her mum. Loads of giggles, cups of coffee, tea & hot chocolate all topped off with a visit to Nannie. We're all double jabbed now, so we feel easier about going to see her. It was incredibly windy, so I guess…

Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff

How many times have we been told, or indeed told others not to sweat the small stuff ? It's difficult though, right ? We all live in our own little bubble, much more since Covid. We worry daily about little things, but to us they are mighty big things. We worry about our health and…

I’m fat… I’m over 40….

I now wear a size uk14/16....I used to wear a size uk8...does that matter? No, it doesn't, or it shouldn't, I am still the same person whatever size I am. I'm over 40, I'm not using that as an excuse. It's true, after 40 your metabolism changes, but also your outlook for on life changes,…

I believe it is how we deal with the end emotion that triggers regret or…

Number Me

Just think about it for a moment, how many times have you watched a TV program only to feel totally let down by the ending. All those weeks you've given it your time, your attention, you've been patient when it's thrown you red herrings, fed you a line, you've stayed faithful. Always tuning in, ever…

The Bee Swarm🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝

For the first time in my life I have seen a swarm of bees❤️It was the sound that first alerted me to them. The sight of hundreds of bees filling my garden was awesome. They stayed for about 10mins, but sadly they have not settled here. The odd one or two are hanging around on…

Raise the Drawbridge!

It's holiday season at last, the best of the British weather is upon us & our thoughts turn to balmy evenings, long cool cocktails with loved ones, leisurely lunches with friends, sporting events, concerts, regattas, carnivals & jetting off on that much anticipated fun in the sun holiday. Our reward for enduring the long, cold,…
