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

Day of love..



Ignore the stupid pose! Quite short?..

Again..Ignore the stupid pose although you can see where I get it from -Pops!..Slightly longer?
As I have to do a poopy sleep-in tonight (3pm til 3pm tomorrow shift), Andrew and I decided to go out last night instead. We went to Aqua, an Italian restaurant that I have wanted to go to since it opened. We had cocktails to start along with Pomodoro bruschetta and the most delicious marinated olives. I had grilled lemon sole in a marinara sauce with caperberries and the garliciest spinach ever! Andrew had pan fried duck breast in balsamic vinegar and cherry sauce with roasted butternut squash with a side of herb sauteed potatoes. The we had another cocktail each. And for pud, I had a lemon cheese cake and Andrew had a chocolate and hazelnut tarte with ice cream.

It was divine!..the most expensive meal I've ever had, but divine!..and I got to wear my French Connection dress.

As for Valentines day gifts, I am buying Andrew the new UFC Undisputed Xbox game and he is buying me a much needed hair cut. I just cant decide how to have it done!
