This weekend we embarked on a bit of a celebratory route. Friday night and a trip to Covent Garden and Clos Maggiore- billed as the most romantic restaurant in the world no less! We were joined by friends Bev and Neil and it was superb. The food, the atmosphere, the service: all top notch! SaturdayContinue reading “Coral and warmth”

Recipe for success
A few days at home, a morning at work, a disturbed night, packing and we were on our way to Brighton! A detour to pick up the macaroons that on Wednesday were not ready, but thanks to colourfulbites for making the magic happen! We had a good journey and a cuppa was shared whilst workingContinue reading “Recipe for success”
Weekend fun
A really busy weekend, a tonic after feeling rough all week. Friday included a lazy morning then lunch with Debbie at Masons. Great food, and company with the usual laughter and a good old chin wag. Just what the doctor ordered. Time with Debbie is always uplifting! Saturday was an early start up to LondonContinue reading “Weekend fun”
Two decades and a funeral
Bev and I have known each other for over 30 years and a recent invite to accompany her to althorp was one that I had to take up. Weather was set fair and I drove to her home, and we made the journey to Northants. First stop was to visit the above, then we madeContinue reading “Two decades and a funeral”
Cricket England v South Africa
The reason behind our trip was the cricket match today, and we awoke to get skies and drizzle. Breakfast and getting ready took precedence and the drizzle became heavy showers 😞 As we wiped away 40 minutes a break in the clouds, and the rain stopped so we walked to Cardiff bay station. We hadContinue reading “Cricket England v South Africa”
Chippenham, Cardiff and Cricket.
Debbie and I left yesterday and travelled to Chippenham. A detour to the Swindon retail outfit resulted in English pounds being spent and a easy ride to our hotel for the evening. A walk around to find our bearings and a refreshing cider each had to be done. Before we knew it it was timeContinue reading “Chippenham, Cardiff and Cricket.”
Diana’s Dresses
As soon as I saw the exhibition advertised I had to go. My companion today was my wonderful ex colleague Bev! The weather forecast was mixed, but we dodged the rain and made our way to KP. There was a queue, as would be expected and we sauntered round the King’s and Queen’s apartments beforeContinue reading “Diana’s Dresses”
Rollercoaster ride
The last eight weeks have felt like a rollercoaster ride, although I’m not a fan of them in reality. Little did I know that I would have the surprise of my life within that time, and share it with so many family. Kevin and I enjoyed a wonderful week in Portugal with Viv and Don,Continue reading “Rollercoaster ride”
Fun
Fun! I love to have fun, and quite often have an irreverent sense of humour. Making people laugh or smile makes me feel good as well as lightening the mood of the other person! Snapchat have a great variety of filters and I have recently been using them and sending the photos to family. ResponsesContinue reading “Fun”
Treasure…..
I have many things in my life that I treasure; my family, friends. I am grateful for my home, car and job. There have been times where we have faced circumstances that have been difficult, but we have dealt with them and, fortunately, came through the other side. My garden has given me pleasure andContinue reading “Treasure…..”
Big….
This building intrigued me before I visited the Big Apple and we were fortunate to stay nearby, so it was derigeur to visit everyday! The shape is awesome and it has a great MAC shop at the bottom. #developingyoureye,#NewYork,#Big,#Flatiron,#MAC,#perspective
Early days!
Before the move to England I enjoyed a happy childhood with two sets of grandparents Grandma and Grandda Ramsay and Dora, who we visited often. We would stay with the Dora grandparents Joe and Tini (short for Valentina) as they had an attic at the very top of the building above the Thistle fish andContinue reading “Early days!”
First post!
When I was a lot younger I never thought I would marry, let alone have a family, but I have been blessed with a fantastic husband Kevin, and three wonderful children Andrew, Joseph and Georgina, who have given us such a rich and varied family life. It’s been a privilege to see them grow bothContinue reading “First post!”
