Morning peeps! Happy bonfire night to those who celebrate it. Burning down parliament would have been a horrible thing to do (although some politicians make it much easier to sympathise with Guy Fawkes) but I always felt a bit uncomfortable with the burning of 'Guy' scarecrows on the bonfires. I believe the tradition was started [...]
Morning Peeps! 2 weeks today is Christmas Eve!! We are in full preparation mode now! We have been discussing whether to replace or cover our tired dining chairs for Christmas (or just accept it and deal with it next year) and we were talking about how old our table is and the memories we have [...]
Howdy Peeps Sorry I didn't post yesterday but it was kinda crazy here; My father in law was poorly, we had unexpected financial news (not the good kind) and I took the cat to the vets fully believing she was going to be put to sleep. As it turns out; my father in law is [...]
Morning Peeps! So it's the summer holidays (apparently... too wet here to tell!) and there are things to do and buy, places to go and people to see. So how do you do that on a budget? The simple answer is planning. I plan for one treat and one sensible thing each week. With a [...]
Howdy Peeps! We skived off yesterday to have a family day...so there was no blog, sorry. We had a great time! Went shopping, ate out and had a decent walk. We were going to go to the cinema but it was a bit warm for that yesterday afternoon- wanted to get out in the lovely [...]
Hi-ho Peeps! Happy Saturday! This is the first one in aaaaages where I have no work and nothing planned! Hooray! (My sympathies if that is not the case for you.) A Saturday off is indeed a little joy in life and sometimes we need to focus on the positive, the good little bits and the [...]
Howdy peeps! The wedding was lovely yesterday! Beautiful day and a cute couple. Obviously not my place to share pictures of their wedding but I can share this one of me and my hubby in the photo booth... being our usual, sensible selves of course 😉 Also, a different gorgeous couple in my family had [...]
Howdy Peeps! Well we're not getting married, we did that almost 17 years ago! However, today is the day my youngest cousin (on dad's side) finally gets married! He is marrying such a lovely girl, who has been part of our family for years now. It's so lovely to celebrate a marriage, especially with such [...]
Howdy peeps! Just a quick Happy father's day to all you chaps out there! To dads, grandads, uncles, carers, big brothers, friends and spiritual family...if you're a guy someone somewhere looks up to, then thanks. Have a fab day! Anna x
Hello Saturday Peeps! Happy 1st day of June! 😊 June is a busy month here: Today we have the 1st of 2 weddings we have been invited to this month and it's the start of the D-day celebrations (on all week here in Bude). We also have a neighbour's 50th, a baby due in the [...]
