What a week of catch ups it’s been. Met my friend Litty on Monday, for a super early supper before I went off to work, she’s my lovely writing friend and we had a smashing chat! In beautiful Sloane Square setting. Then saw my son Brad on Tuesday (our annual shopping and supper catch up, […]
Family Festive Fun! And 7 days of Sneaky Peeks
What a super time I had last weekend with the children, when we all stayed at Brad‘s for our annual early Christmas weekend. The little boys played more with each other than they have done previously, but the little girls really had a lovely time! We had some great fun once the kids had gone […]
Guess who I met in Devon this week
My crazy month got crazier last week, as I mentioned in last week’s blog. It culminated in a couple of events at the end of last week when I was in Devon. On Friday afternoon I had my lovely friends over for tea and cake and swapping presents! (See top picture). We had a right […]
Out out for lunch then in in for grandchildren! +7 days of sneaky peeks ahead!
Had a lovely couple of lunches with mum last week. We went and tidied dad‘s grave, (so many thorns on those rosebushes, they seem to love it there)! And lunch afterwards in the local garden centre is one of my favourite things to do with my mummy. I bought a pair of these gloves, they’re […]
Fab Theatre with Ali K, plus hilarious blooper! Plus QVC sneaky peeks for next week
Had the most lovely day on Tuesday this week, when I tried hard to switch off my brain of all the things I’ve been doing lately. The tenders finally went out to the four property managers on the shortlist, for our flats (where I am a director – of course I am! Regulars will know […]
Aspects of “Barbenheimer” / Film Fest! Kate Bush fun; & sneaky QVC peeks….
Saw three big things this week. ‘Aspects of Love’ at the theatre with my mum and sister, and the two blockbusters that are breaking records at the cinema, Barbie and Oppenheimer. Absolutely loved Ryan Gosling in Barbie. Found it very entertaining and superbly tongue in cheek, loved what they did with the juxtaposition between real […]
Coming up roses! And sneaky peeks
Since I’ve been away so much I thought I had better spend some time with my lovely mum who had looked after the “Bed on the Bend”, and balcony, so much when I was away, so we went to tend dad’s grave then for lunch. It’s all doing very well especially considering how much drought […]
Garden gang and Devon Days!
Had a fun weekend with the garden gang, including lovely Tommy who was 40 on Friday. He informed me that it was 32 years to the day, since I read his birthday card on SSVC television, (for the forces’ children based with their dads on military bases, living in Germany, Gibraltar, Cyprus and the Falklands), […]
Bonanza birthday week; plus sneaky peeks!
Another year another birthday! After a smashing coronation weekend, see below, the festivities continued. Not only did I go to the cinema on my actual birthday night, on Wednesday, with my sis and lovely friend Alison. (see top pic.). We saw ‘Love Again’, starring Outlander hunk Sam Heughan (see below.) The night before I was […]
Having the best ‘Lyme!’ And sneaky peeks.
Having the ‘Lyme’ of my life… and other such puns! Caught some dying rays of the sun in this great shot, on a scheduled break to the south coast this week, to one of my favourite places, Lyme Regis. The scenery is amazing, the bay is nice to walk around, and I feel like it […]
