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.

slight improvement..

Last night I made a curtain to cover up the eye sore that is the recycling box..I'm quite pleased with it. I have also added some more images to the kitchen cupboards. I love collage so decided a while ago that I'd just cover the grimey cupboards in pretty pictures! 

Okay, so I thought I might introduce you to the people and places I love.
I live in and LOVE Bath- the most beautiful, laid back place. I have lived here for 15 years and it never gets dull!
For as long as I can remember (which isnt that long) my family has taken a yearly trip to St. Ives, Cornwall. My grandparents took my Pops when he was wee and they took us when me and my siblings were nippers too. Now my granny Annie and Grandpa live down there, but there's still 10 of us that go..it never gets old!
My family tree is pretty large, but here are some photos of Andrew, me Mum, Pops, sister Nell and her hubby Ben, my bro Charlie, his partner Chloe and their brood, Tyler and Coby, and my other brother Wills.
Seriously the list of family members could go on for yonks! Friends will be introduced along the way!

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!
