That was a rhetorical question because of course it isn't! Don't worry, this picture is from last Christmas... We're getting our tree next weekend, not that the Handsome One knows that yet.. So you may have guessed that the HO isn't *quite* on-board with early festivities, so I've been trying to get him in the… Continue reading Is it to early to be excited by Christmas?

Five Things Friday
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
Happy Friday you gorgeous bunch! Not only is it Friday, but it's Bank Holiday weekend! We will overlook the fact that this is the last bank holiday of 2018 until Christmas... When I looked out of the window this morning, all down the side of the field, the hedgerow is full of berries! Literally feel… Continue reading Five things Friday
Five things Friday
It's Friday, again! The sun is still shining (just about), the birds are singing and the weekend is almost upon us. I know it's only been a four-day week, but blimey, I'm absolutely knackered and 100% ready for a glass of something French, cold and made of grapes. We've not got a whole heap planned… Continue reading Five things Friday
The Perfect Start to Winter
I'm sure you may be sick of seeing and hearing about the snow, but I cannot get enough of it! Funnily enough, I'm actually writing this post as I sit on train and try to thaw my frozen toes as the water has got through my very impractical boots. However, I still love it. There's… Continue reading The Perfect Start to Winter
My bargain upcycled table
Now I’m going to let you know that I’m feeling pretty smug about this one. Not only did I get the table for free, but I’ve got it (in my humble opinion) looking pretty awesome and didn’t cost the earth. A bit of the back story as to why I’m so obsessed with this table… Continue reading My bargain upcycled table
When you feel like you’re not making much progress
I wrote this title thinking about the house renovation but actually, it relates to others things going on in my life and my current mood of late. Firstly, the house. Now that we live there, we are constantly working on it but lately I’ve been looking around thinking ‘come on, when will one room at… Continue reading When you feel like you’re not making much progress
We’re in!
It's been a whole week since we moved in our house, now our home. Our first home together and man alive, it feels good. Now I don't want to brag but we have heating (bar one radiator yet to be fitted in the kitchen), a bath, plaster in the kitchen (we have a ceiling!) andddddddd… Continue reading We’re in!

Sh*t just got real
GUYS. Our notice has been handed in, therefore that means that we have just over three weeks to leave our cottage and get our house in a live-able state. The vegetable patch is looking great - the plants are producing beans and peas, the potatoes and broad beans are growing brilliantly, and I'm not far… Continue reading Sh*t just got real
