Roll on tomorrow..

Tomorrow I am going to visit my beautiful friend Holly and I cannot wait. She is like a sister to me and we have some very funny memories together. Im getting the train to Barnstable, Devon and we are going to spend the weekend walking on the beach, chatting and relaxing in the garden. Lets just hope the weather is good!

I have a little gift for Holly and I cant wait for see it!

Happy belated mothers day!

To all those mothers who have given the best gift and have the best job..I cant wait to join your gang!

Thank you to my Mum who is wonderful and lovely and creative and laid back and unique and who did a super job of raising four children single handedly..and those children are fabulous ..including me! HA!

For mothers gift I bought her 'The Liberty book of home sewing' which is filled with amazing bits to make and I made her two scarfs because she loves scarfs! I also made her a card from the pages of a 1950s magazine.

Wills, Me, Nell, Mum and Charlie.

  Love you Mum! xxxx

Mmmmm

Last night Andrew and I joined friends Natalie, Barry, Gemma and Spencer for a delicious three course meal. We each did a course. Natalie made a rather tasty vege sausage casserole main course, Gemma made a oh-my-goodness tasty chocolate cake and I made a Sweet potato and orange soup from a New Covent Garden recipe..It was a success and although I forgot the bread, everyone enjoyed it!

Thank you to Natalie and Barry for hosting a lovely evening!

1 year anniversary..

On this day last year Andrew and I moved into our wonderful little flat, in a lovely area of the beautiful Bath. My how time flies! We are slowly transforming the creamy space into a bright, colourful and interesting home and I'm enjoying the challenge of doing it with little money but a love for second hand/ vintage/ hand-me-down/ charity shop finds!

Today Andrew and I joined friends, Gemma and Spencer, to watch those crazy nut jobs running the Bath Half. It was a flippin mission to get to them mind! We had to walk along the river until we found the area that us non-runners could actually cross the road without the risk of being crushed by sweaty people in lycra. We were basically moved about like cattle through fenced off areas..Thankfully the sun has got his hat on today so hanging about outside was fine with me! Whilst those sweaty folk ran, walked, hobbled past us we drank shandy, ate yummy burgers and cheered them on.

Well done to all those people that took part in the Bath Half Marathon..especially to those people who did it for charity and those who dressed up like tits!..literally.

My new cushion.

On this lovely sunny day me, Nell, Josephine and Mum went for a stroll about town and lunch. We looked through pretty baby clothes, spoke about our holiday in August (SO excited!) and drank delicious drinks in the fruity Cosy Club.

I bought a pretty plant and Mum bought me some Daffs.

Andrew relaxed at home drawing with Chinese inks with the warm sunshine beaming through the window.

Also, finally got round to putting up my beautiful painting by Benjamin Rees - Thomas.

You know that old saying..

 ..Home from work, have a bun.

A twenty four hour shift really wipes you out, so its against the my law to not have a cake when I've finished.

Found these photos on my phone. Early last year, when I was walking 45 minutes to get to work ( I now walk 4 minutes and I'm there..BOOM), and the moon was in the perfect place to make a pretty picture.

Also...a cheeky 6 year old and fruity 4 year old

The munchkins had a family party today to celebrate their special days. Coby turned four today and Tyler turns six tomorrow. Thankfully Coby was born on a leap year which meant that Tyler didnt have to share his birthday. They are exactly 2 years apart.

Today they have both received HEAPS of gifts, enjoyed yummy cakes and experienced retro sweeties (push pops and fizz wizz).

So a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Tyler and Coby..You rock my world and I love you both!
