And in the blink of an eye, another week has gone and we're approaching the end of September! I'm not entirely sure how that happened... Grab yourself a cuppa (or a beer) and strap in, this is a long one. Surprise Trip to Cheltenham This week saw a surprise and impromptu visit to one of… Continue reading Five things that made me smile this week

May Garden Update
This year has been difficult on the seed-growing front. Last year, I had more seedlings that I knew what to do with, this year I'm struggling to even grow lettuce! May 14th 2018 I did catch Edna (our Silkie Bantam chicken) with her head in one of my pots, eating the lettuce seeds, so that… Continue reading May Garden Update
Another Bank Holiday Weekend!
I have to say, I'm hugely enjoying bank holiday season! No alarms, (mostly) sunny weather, adventures, the luxury of having endless pots of tea, reading the paper from cover to cover and having that extra glass of wine on a Sunday - just perfect. This weekend it's my Mum's birthday and I'm having Friday off… Continue reading Another Bank Holiday Weekend!
Spring Days
Oh Spring, you do spoil us with your beautiful blossom, incredible sunrises, longer days, daffodils at every turn, but you do not let us forget that the weather can turn on a whim. Did anyone else get snow yesterday? On Monday we sat out in the garden, enjoyed a glass of wine, whilst shouting at… Continue reading Spring Days
Is it to early to be excited by Christmas?
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
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
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
