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.

Happy pancake day everyone!

Its pancake day yes, its pancake day yes, its p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-pancake day!!
(A song from 'Maid Marion and her merry men' a kids show we used to LOVE!-We sing it/ text it/message it to each other every year) I made 13 pancakes and Andrew and I enjoyed them with cheese, lemon & sugar and icing sugar. Sooo scrummy!

Today I had some snuggles and chats with Josephine at my Nanny's house and received a beautiful painting by Benjamin Rhys-Thomas. (I shall take and post photos of the painting soon)

Gemmie and Spence

Ps. A very large CONGRATULATIONS to my lovely friend Gemma and her boyfriend Spencer who have just announced that they are expecting a wee one! Very exciting!! xxxx

So far today..

I have been thinking about

- How excited I am about going to Cornwall on Saturday. (I bought Edyn his gift. An elephant with a bell in its belly!)

- When to watch 'Bridesmaids'. Andrew bought it for me because I love it! Funniest film..oh how I laughed! (Congratulations to Melissa McCarthy on her Oscar nomination)

- How glad I am to have had 2 days off in a row as I am ever so full of snot!

-The first piece of art work I have ever bought. Its a beautiful self portrait of a very talented chap that was at my uni. Benjamin Rees-Thomas was the best painter at UWIC and I am so excited to be getting one of his pieces. Such an inspirational artist who's use of colour is breathtaking.

JUST LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW TO SEE SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my gawwd!...and now its stopped..oh..well that was short lived. ...Its back!! aw, lovely.

Anyhoo..

I watched 'Melancholia' last night, starring Kirsten Dunst. It is a beautifully shot film with some really interesting story lines. It's very powerful and the ending left me feeling a bit...woah!..its good! 

End of random post.

A bit about me..

My degree show

Me in Roma when I went with Holly several years ago!

Me and my goddaughter Zenny

Okay, I am from Bath. I am the second of 4 children.
I went traveling in 2006 with one of my best friends, Oliver. That was such a fantastic time! We went to France, Spain, Italy, Greece and Egypt. We met some amazing people who we are still friends with and I will never forget it.
I then went to uni in Cardiff, where I met Andrew. I studied Fine Art: Painting and in my degree show I did hardly any painting! Lots of work though. A marvelous three years! I have a goddaughter, Rosenwyn, who is absolutely gorgeous!
We moved back to Bath and I became a Support Worker, working with vulnerable adults with learning difficulties.
I have several amazing very close friends including Holly, Amy, Ollie, Hazel and Chrissy. Holly and I like to have a laugh, make fools of ourselves and dance...evidence.
I have three Dumbo rats named Diane, Bette and Goldie (First Wives Club!!!!). They are very cute!
I enjoy a good film or t.v series. I'm a pescatarian and apart from meat I will pretty much eat anything.
I LOVE Rome and cant get enough of the Vatican museums. Been there 5 times..I'm not religious. I love to sing.
And at this time I just cant wait for my niece or nephew to arrive!!

Stanley

Andrew and Scott

Delayed I know, but I thought I'd introduce Andrew and myself a bit better. I shall start with Andrew.

Andrew is from Leighton Buzzard, a place you have to be from to really appreciate it, I think! -Not much there. He went to uni in Cardiff, which is where he met me!
His hobbies include, drawing, painting and general artiness. He LOVES MMA and goes to jujitsu and mma classes as often as he can. On a friday he plays zombie games with my bro and bro-in-law. And most sundays they all get together to watch Strike Force and UFC..and eat sausage rolls.
Andrew has a collection of musical instruments that he likes to play around with. He occasionally smokes a pipe. He is very proud of his facial hair! He loves to dress up. He hates having his photo taken. He is Godfather to cutey pie, Stanley. Andrew used to own a BMX but it was stolen, he misses it lots. Andrews best friend is Scott, they've been buddies since they were 4 years old.

He's completely hilarious and I love him!

It's my Nanny's birthday today. I painted her this..

Tyler and Co rinsed my camera and these are a few of the photos they took (note the shoe photos by Ty - he's been taking inspiration from his Auntie Nell) 

In March 2011 Andrew and I moved into our lovely little flat in my home town of Bath. Since then we have been trying to fill it with random, unusual and arty bits and bobs. For my first post, I thought that I'd show some of the things we have collected, made and been given to make this flat our home. The last photograph is the beautiful view from our flat.

A very happy new year to you all!
