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
20 things I love about Autumn!
Hold the phones, people. It's September 1st and for me that means Autumn has arrived! Autumn truly is one of my most favourite times of the year and instead of listing 20 things about me, I'm going to list 20 things that are incredible about this brilliant season. I tried to write a post on… Continue reading 20 things I love about Autumn!
My first attempt at jam
I never thought the day would come where I would be brave enough to try to make jam, but here we are! Our lovely new neighbours gave us a huge bunch of rhubarb and I thought this is my chance to attempt to make jam. After scrolling through some recipes on BBC Good Food, I… Continue reading My first attempt at jam
House Update and Happy Friday!
I'm so glad it's Friday and especially happy from what I've just hear on the Today programme on Radio 4. They've said a study has suggested that people who drink alcohol 3 or 4 times a week are 30% less likely to develop diabetes, over people who never drink - show me the prosecco! We've… Continue reading House Update and Happy Friday!
Bird Nerd
I am a HUGE bird nerd! I've always loved birds, especially birds of prey and ever since I met my handsome one, he reignited that love as he feels very much the same. We really are two peas in a pod. We had last week Friday off, which was brilliant as all we want to… Continue reading Bird Nerd
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!
Where to start…
Well to begin with we spent the majority of the weekend in our new house! I'm sure everyone thinks this when they buy their first house, but I just love it so much. On Friday I raced home from work to see my handsome one and Bella at our cottage; after rapidly shoving some food… Continue reading Where to start…
Happy Monday!
I have to admit it was a real struggle getting out of bed this morning - when that wretched alarm went off I did not want to move, but I'm pretty sure that some of you also felt the same? Please just yes. However, I decided that I would force myself to be happy and… Continue reading Happy Monday!
It’s Friday!
Is it just me or is anyone else immensely glad it's Friday? I have to admit that I'm not quite used to these five day weeks after a bout of bank holidays! I think I'm especially looking forward to the weekend after reading this last night... I can tell you that I had a few… Continue reading It’s Friday!
