Yesterday was gorgeous here and I thought I’d have a play with my camera. The peonies and roses aren’t out yet – nearly there! But there is still some colour in amongst the green.
I love this picture from Ikea and how they have used this little glass cabinet. I wouldn’t have thought of mixing in the pink with the blue and white but it really works. It’d look lovely...
So they’ve been in a while now, seen all that rain and lots of sunshine this last couple of weeks and it’s all growing well. I’m so pleased with how they are progressing – her...
A couple of weeks ago we were fortunate enough to be in Vancouver. We went for a job interview for other half with the hope of moving there. Sadly it all fell through at the last minute but we still ...

Sorry I’ve been away so long, I had a lot going on and just felt in need of a little blog break and it just went on longer than I expected. Sometimes it’s hard to write about things when you’re in th...
I just popped over to The Mads (Mum and Dad Blog Awards) to see if I’d been nominated for anything and I had such a lovely surprise I’m really chuffed! Violet Posy has been nominated fo...
Where I live, we have a 928 year old cathedral, the current building was started in 1083. Because it’s such a fixture of our town and I go past it so often I don’t really forget it’...
As most of you know Miss L has a ‘Build a Bear’ addiction, she saves her pocket money so she can buy fabric to make them pretty outfits and they have the best made beds of any bears in th...
This Easter was a real washout grey, mizzling and generally freezing. So my parents who throw Miss L an Easter Egg hunt every year decided to do it indoors this time. And you know what it was fanta...
Yesterday I had an email from an advertiser asking if their ads could just appear on my homepage, and I knew my theme couldn’t do it so I’d have to hunt for a plugin. Now there are 18,96...
Here is my new and shiny updated version of this post. Picnik is now sadly dead but PicMonkey has taken it’s place is my heart so here’s how to make headers on PicMonkey instead. Sadly t...
Last week was just manic and seemed to go at twice the speed of a normal week. Miss L had her first school trip away for 2 nights and we missed her loads. The early part of the week was taken up wit...
I’ve been reading a lot of posts recently about pet blogging hates and one of them being Captcha’s – you know that bit when you post a comment and gives you two words to type becaus...
Sorry I was so quiet last week, I had a stinking cold and was feeling quite sorry for myself. But this weekend I’ve been feeling much better, so we got a start on making the raised beds for ou...

Yep I missed one day again! But I’m still going strong, even if I need to set myself an alarm on my phone to remember to take a photo. You can tell when I’ve forgotten they are of wine or...
Remember my little silver buckets from Christmas? Well I’ve added some mini daffodils from the market, a bit of dirt, and spring is in the lounge! Just be careful not to overwater them as there...
My friend Kath at Knitty Mummy shared her ‘Hideaway Desk’ which she had built in to her alcoves. I think it’s utterly brilliant, so if you have a chance pop over and see how it tur...
Nickie over at Typecast is running a writing prompt #dosomethingyummy for the CLIC Sargent Do Something Yummy awareness campaign. And the subject this week is survival and what we’ve over come...
Now the super cold weather has finally passed – fingers crossed – I decided to refill my pots by the front door. They were as you can see pretty dead Classy or what? So I went to the mar...
The merry go round of motherhood is kicking off again, Miss L is about to turn 9 (where did my baby go?) and is getting all grown up. This of course means the room I thought was pretty sorted four ye...
Patricia my guest poster today is a florist from one of my advertisers and knows her stuff about flower arranging. So I thought it’d be nice to have a tutorial from a professional florist, who...

Wow what a milestone to reach, and it seems to have happened so, so quickly. An old friend and I were talking the other day and were saying it seems like moments ago we were celebrating my 21st! Thi...
I may have bit of a Rightmove addiction – well that’s a big lie I’m positively obsessed with it! I love looking at homes, how they’ve been decorated and seeing how people use...
