Half way!

This week the UK starts with a bank holiday, and I'll start with a new age…

How did this happen?

I've hit the big 40, I still feel like a teenager!  Friday started with a decorated desk from my lovely work colleagues, with hastily removed balloons as believe it or not I have an allergy to them. 

Our friends Al & Tunde came over for fish, chips and pea fritters in the evening from our local chip shop (the best ever!) 

Dinner with family, tea and cake with friends and a collectors fair still to come x

I've had a very busy day…never again!

Great TV

Why don't we have ads like this? Brilliant!

Decadence

Today I have been busy, I have tackled that nasty pile of ironing that keeps growling at me from the corner of our spare room, I've been to the post office to posted a parcel for a friend on flickr and forgotten to take a really important letter (doh), I've cooked, cleaned and generally kept myself on my toes. 


Then I treated myself to an afternoon film…oh the decadence to sit and watch a film in the afternoon whilst sipping a freshly brewed tea (always from the pot) and nibbling on the goodies that are supposed to be for easter. 

Not quite cooking!

Yum

best ever teapot from Habitat with built in strainer

Oh and the film in question…Carry on Constable…brilliant!

Sunshine

It's amazing what a little sunshine can do for ones soul, not hot, just lovely and bright. Today was a really early start for me and I'm a little out of practice, I'm not one of natures early risers but the thought of a lovely day got me through, by 9:30am few moments taking photos of the beautiful venue I was visiting, was made all the more special by not having to wear a coat and dodge a deluge of rain. 


Long may it continue.

A New Day

I'm trying blogger for the first time, I normally use Typepad but thought I'd see if the grass is greener!


As this my first post I thought I'd just add some pictures to get a feel of how it operates, and you can see what i'm all about!

 

That's me, what I love and what I get up too!
