Glad to see this day again - recently realised that the last time I had more than a day off was when I had laryngitis a couple of months back and was signed off work for a week. No my ideal type of holiday, so looking forward to a couple of weeks off at the… Continue reading Five Things Friday

Five Things Friday
Hello Friday, you gorgeous thing you. As I look out the window, it's raining and what a welcome sight that is. It was actually the first time in ages that I walked Bella and needed my Barbour for the entire walk, as it was 11 degrees! Cooking Our neighbours grow rhubarb and they literally have… Continue reading Five Things Friday
My Garden in July
Can you believe that this time next week it's going to be AUGUST? Time is absolutely flying by this year - on my way into work the other morning, I actually starting thinking about Christmas presents... The Handsome One has repeatedly told me how much he is looking forward to Autumn and I have to… Continue reading My Garden in July
My first ever vegetable harvest!
The time finally arrived for me to get my little trug out (no innuendo intended), stroll up the garden and pick my first lot of vegetables! And lookie, lookie here! I've pulled the occasional few radish, but nothing like this, so I was over the moon. Although, I am still a bit disappointed because I… Continue reading My first ever vegetable harvest!
Happy Friday!
Happy bank holiday weekend! I'm checking my five weather apps on an hourly basis, hoping that the forecast is going to change, and let's just pretend the weather warning for rain didn't just pop up on my phone. Despite of the weather, we still have three days off work, which means I've already turned my… Continue reading Happy Friday!

I'm hoping this means I'm definitely going to see the fruits of my labour... I've grown everything from seed and so far I've been surprisingly successful with most vegetables and flowers, but for some reason I… Continue reading My vegetables are flowering!
The Progress of a Novice Gardener
I've discovered a new found passion and it's gardening. When we bought our house last July, amongst all the dust, walls being knocked down and fireplaces being created the window ledges were full of pots with seeds. I just couldn't wait to start growing my own vegetables and flowers, much to the delight of the… Continue reading The Progress of a Novice Gardener
5 things Friday
It's Friday, it's a bank holiday weekend and it's sunny - how could you want for anything more? I've been signed off work this week due to having a viral infection and laryngitis, which has really knocked me about but I finally feel like myself again and by feel like myself, I think a glass… Continue reading 5 things Friday
5 things Friday
Hello Friday, you gorgeous thing you. Is it just me or has it felt like this week has really dragged? I've got a long weekend to look forward to at the end of the month, which will set me up for the best month of the year; December! However, that's still three weeks away and… Continue reading 5 things Friday
Gardening advice wanted!
It's rather grey today isn't it? I do hope we have a good pour down of rain, as I didn't water my vegetables properly last night. I know, tut tut. As much as I love my job (especially as I have swifts constantly screeching past my window and buzzards circling), I would much rather be… Continue reading Gardening advice wanted!
