Catching up......................



Good Lord am I tired!

It seems like the weeks are just whizzing by and I am getting very little done around the house,despite being in perpetual tidying up mode,but what with the day job,kids,blah blah blah,you know how it goes.
However,not one to appear as a glass half empty person,I do actually feel a little shift in my mood at the moment,I am loving the lighter nights and the vanilla coloured mornings,although it is still quite chilly here in the North,I am loving wearing slightly summery clothes(cardi still required)and at last! hurrah! flip flops!(fitflops,not all they are cracked up to be) I am absolutely loving desperate housewives,Lewis and the re runs of The hairy bikers,I have a pile of books by my bedside that I dip in and out of,but nothing is really grabbing me right now.I am feverishly excited at the thought of picking fruit at my allotment again and have decided to grow spinach,sweetcorn and courgettes as well this year.I have lots of lovely vintage stock to add to the website soon and as always am behaving like a lottery winner when I stumble upon a wonderful vintage find,speaking of which,my latest personal acquisition is a Vintage statue of Jesus which I love but frankly doesn't look right anywhere and is presently situated on the stairs,where no doubt he will come a cropper if I don't find a suitable place very soon!
So there we go! how has your week been?

Well waddya know!!!

Lovely Elaine from Ted and Bunny has bestowed upon me this glorious tag! apparently the deal is,that I list seven things that you do not already know about me! Ooooh! thats a tough one! I have bared my soul blogging for some years now,first on typepad and now here at my new home on blogger,what else is there to know? hmmm,lets think.............

1) I look forward to getting dressed every single day! I have to look the best I possibly can, its a self esteem thing,being well groomed keeps my spirits up.Bizzare.

2) I have a very strong belief in the afterlife although I am not terribly religious.

3)I adore spinach.Mmmmm.....

4)If I had to have a song as my personal anthem it would be 'Unwritten' by Natasha Bedingfield.

5)I suffer from bouts of unbridled sadness (hormonal me thinks) but I do bounce back.

6)My all time favourite Actress is Vivien Leigh.

7)I have two tattoos!

There you go! seven useless and not that interesting pieces of information about me!

Thank you Elaine!

On my wish list................



I know,I know of all the things I could wish for at the moment,I am seriously coveting a pair of fitflops, yes thats right,not your average flip flops,but these babies,which apparently give your bum,thighs and calfs a good old work out just by walking about in them! fabulous isnt it! I mean whats not to like? Do any of you ladies have a pair? and if so opinions please! before I shell out the fifty quid!

Billie Holiday and chocolate cake...........


Today has been a good day.The first day of the Easter holidays was spent firstly shopping with my Mum,then home,pinny tied on and knuckling down to some serious kitchen time with Lucy.Candles scented with macintosh apples and Billie Holiday singing 'I'm a fool to love you' and the smell of Heaven drifting from the oven.................

Chocolate cake and Devils food cupcakes............


smartie cookies.......Bliss!

After the lunch...............



I heard the delicious Miss Dahl reciting a snippet of this last night and was once again reminded, how utterly splendid a poet the lovely Wendy Cope is...........

AFTER THE LUNCH

On Waterloo Bridge where we said our goodbyes,
the weather conditions bring tears to my eyes.
I wipe them away with a black woolly glove
And try not to notice I've fallen in love

On Waterloo Bridge I am trying to think:
This is nothing. you're high on the charm and the drink.
But the juke-box inside me is playing a song
That says something different. And when was it wrong?

On Waterloo Bridge with the wind in my hair
I am tempted to skip. You're a fool. I don't care.
the head does its best but the heart is the boss-
I admit it before I am halfway across

Wendy Cope
