Last Friday night I went out with an old school friend. It is the first time we have had a night out together since we left school, an astounding twenty-two years ago! We had seen each other intermittently over the years and know snippets of each others lives but had never had the chance to sit down with […]
Just seen the Post a Day 2011 badge on my blog page. Oops failed on that one!!! Never mind, maybe there is a Post When You Can badge somewhere on WordPress. Anyone seen it?
A New Year. A time for resolutions perhaps. Or maybe a return to things already started but left idle, whilst time passed unnoticed. I started this blog in the summer of 2011, with the view that I would post as often as I could. My last post was September, (aaargh!)! I can’t believe it! […]
Why is it that summer seems to just disappear at an alarming rate and slide straight into miserable, I mean Autumn? It’s raining here at the moment, here being Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire, England for anyone who didn’t know! Not just a light rain but as I write this in our conservatory, really heavy and loud rain! […]
Having recently mentioned that I had decided to sign up for a course with the Open University, I must now tell you that the deed is done. I signed up this week and I start on November the 1st. Holy shit! I am nervous one minute and then totally excited the next. The course is […]
Whilst I was taking the teenager and toddler to their nana’s for the day so I could go the kid free place called work, (woo hoo!) Bon Jovi’s Livin’ on a Prayer came on the radio. It is almost impossible not to sing really loudly to this and much to the teenager’s disdain, I did! […]
I thought I would share this post again, as it still remains a firm favourite. For the past few months, I have been playing around with different recipes to find my signature cake. Something I could be really good at and was easy to make and delicious at the same time. Sounds easy, I hear […]
I love the 1940’s era. The hair, the clothes and the music. From Glenn Miller’s Moonlight Serenade to victory rolls. I do love it all. Sometimes I have even ventured out of the house in my non vintage reproduction tea dress with my hair in curls and flower pinned over one ear. The last time […]
Last week, the family and I headed off to Cornwall for a weeks holiday. The weather prior to going had been particularly shocking and a bit of a wash out so a variety of clothing had made its way into the suitcases. The journey down the motorway passed without incident and after a brief downpour whilst […]
There is something about being in the countryside that is good for the soul. Last Sunday, hubby, teenager, toddler and I took the dog for a walk. It was a perfect summer morning and we headed for a wooded area not far from us, unfortunately known locally as “the butts”! The weather was fantastic, no […]
