It's Snowing!

Yesterday it actually did what the weather man said, being down south when snow is mentioned you never really think it will be you that gets it. I looked on the BBC weather site on Thursday and it said that by 9am we would have snow…as I walked to work it started to do just that, tiny little specks at first and by the time I got there, big fluffy blobs. 

I love snow as long as I don't have to drive in it! I'm lucky enough to live close enough to work to be able to walk and if I wanted I could work from home.

an hour after I'd arrived!

By three o'clock they sent us home!  So it was a date with the sofa, Jim-jams and UK Gold for me! 

Hope you're all safe and enjoying it too x

Happy New Year

I spent the evening with my Mum yesterday (girly time) and today we spent the day with Bob’s family, which has been lovely. Now we’re watching old films, eating peanuts, drinking tea in the warm. As a nod to the evening festivities I have painted my nails in Rimmel Precious Stones Diamond dust nail polish.

Wherever you are, who ever your with and what ever your doing, I hope you have fun.

Taking it easy

Well that's the "Big Day" done, now we're on the wind down. Elastic trousers are the order of the day as is festive socks and a plump array of cushions.

I've made my way through two Carry On's and I'm waiting for Carry On Camping (at your Convenience is my favourite).

 I've nibbled through my own body weight in mince pies, homemade chocs, toasted cheese sandwiches and not to mention my first ever attempt at a Homemade Christmas Cake! (very nice it is too)

I hope you all had a wonderful day and have enjoyed it as much as we have x

The night before Christmas...

Inbetweeners

A good friend of mine Alison Heath has teamed up with two other artists Mayu and Akiko Takizawa to hold an exhibition in East Dulwich, London. This will be taking place in a fantastic gallery space/come shop, know as ' Colour Makes People Happy' which proudly claims to be the longest shop in South London!

So if your in the area why not pop along. Find more information here

*Thank you*

Feeling crepe...

I've been feeling a little lethargic of late, don't know if it's the darker nights, colder weather or I'm just fed up.

I decided to try and rectify the situation and have started taking Berocca, they look like a big refreshers and taste *tropical* lets hope they work!

 On Thursday I went for a walk with my Mum for some fresh air, on the way back we stopped for lunch

not quite sure this is healthy, Nutella and banana crepe, but it did make me feel much better!

That's all, just a quick post as I've not be here for a while…thank you all for you're lovely comments. They make good reading and I love visiting your blogs too x

You know its Autumn when...

You know its Autumn when you start cooking stews, harvest your mammoth crop (yes, my one and only apple!)

My Mums gold fish were also impressed with my apple and came to have a look when I took the photo at her house...

You know its Autumn when the light changes in your home,

You know its Autumn when you spend nearly £15 on Guilty Pleasure magazines…

You know its Autumn when you start finishing of crafty things you forgot about during the summer that never was…but was also amazing for other sporty reasons…

(this is my knitted Jane Torvill, I still haven't knitted poor old Christopher Dean!)

and finally you know its Autumn when the flip-flops/wellies get put away and the sensible 

shoes come out. 

Before we know it, it'll be time for twinkly lights (can't wait!) x
