The weekend

The weather was lovely and very mild and sunny for this time of year.

Flowers were in bloom.

The pond was covered in pondweed.

The children watered the stone frog as they thought it was hot!

Lien ate her roast dinner with her curlers in, getting ready to go out.

Ollie drew whilst Daisy went to bed poorly.

And after more work on the cottage, the sun went down as Jim and I made our way to the cinema to see The Muppets.

All in all a lovely weekend!

Happy Monday x

A little bit cold and a snowy garden

This weekend I felt like taking lots of pictures. So on Saturday I took my camera out with me and when I went to use it the battery was flat. I had stupidly forgotten to change it after taking the pictures of the tulips on the previous post. Talk about annoyed. Don't you hate it when that happens.

Sunday Jim and I did some more to the house and I had a yearning/urge/crazy idea to do some gardening. So there I was in the snow cutting down overgrown rambling roses and other such things. It was very therapeutic albeit cold. Not sure if the thermometer in the garden was right or not but it looked so pretty there that I had to take a picture using my phone.

I hope you all had a lovely weekend and that the week ahead is full of love and fun!

Take care

Easing my way into the weekend

Right now I am sitting here drinking tea and writing lots of notes in my notebook. Ideas for new projects, ideas for Jim's businesses and anything else that comes to mind. I have lots of exciting times ahead and I need to start making a few plans.

Good morning and I hope it's a lovely weekend for you all.

And so the journey begins....

In two weeks I have lost 5 lbs.....4 lbs in the first week and a solitary 1 lb this week. I had hoped for two pounds this week but hey as long as I am losing then that is all that matters. I am pleased and already my clothes feel a little less tight.

This weekend I need to do some painting....I say need to as my soul is crying out for some creative time. I have opened my sketchbook again and started doodling as even if I can just do this it helps. In the meantime I will continue to cook healthy meals, stay positive and feel extremely grateful for everything and everyone I have in my life.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend!

A lovely weekend


I hope you all had a nice weekend. It just goes too fast!

Mine was lovely, busy and spent with the family. On Saturday we spent it with my mum and had a lovely day, then Saturday night Jim and I went on a rare date. Off we went to Nando's before heading to the cinema to see Hugo in 3D. It was a really lovely film and there was something quite gentle about it at times. I will say my favourite character was the Station Inspector played by Sacha Baron Cohen - I swear he based his charcter on Inspector Clouseau - he was brilliant!

Then yesterday we put the Christmas tree up so now things are getting quite festive.
Hope you all have a good week - think I need to do some Christmas shopping soon!
