Hellooooooooooooo

'Waves frantically'


I can't believe it's been 12 days since my last post, never, in my 3 years of blogging have I left it so long between posts.

The truth is....................................I've really not had anything to say.

We've had terrible sicky bugs here and just about recovered in time to celebrate my gorgeous little man's................................................








4th Birthday, 4????????????????????

How on earth did that happen?

I'm sure he was just a babe in arms 5 minutes ago!

We spent the afternoon at the beach with him and close friends, taking with us a picnic and of course cake, spending our time climbing rocks, searching for crabs and finding sea glass.

I'm afraid that's about as exciting as it gets here of late not unless you include my shopping trip where I spent most of my pennies in the retro sweet shop...................................









I think my family had their yearly sugar fix in one sitting 'hehe'!

We've been watching an awful lot of this...................................................







The wonderful new Studio Ghibli film.............................Arrietty, my little man is hooked on it, I've bought Ponyo and My neighbour Totoro in the hope he likes these just as much and we don't wear out the Arrietty disc ;o)

I've also been enjoying my latest read.......................................









I seem to read more from the teenage section than the adult lately but they do make good bedtime reading and instead of my usual vampires or werewolves, this one is about trolls.

I've got a little making in too and stitched a rather cute, snuggly, cuddly, pillow monster.................................................









He's a lot bigger than he looks in the pic, is called Hendrix and has been adopted by my gorgeous big boy, 22 years old and he still loves a cuddly!

I'm off to try and catch up with some of your blogs now before I head out to do the weekly shop, bet you're jealous of my exciting life aren't you haha!

  1. I think it must be a January thing. I know I haven't been blogging much and like you don't feel like I have had much to say. I'm sure you will have plenty to share with us all again soon x x x x
