I am Gr8ful. Gr8ful for all the love I have been shown this week past. It started with a dinner date with my darling dearest just for two at our favourite restaurant. Plateau has been an absolute winner every time we have been there. Love the ambiance. Love the flavours. Love the company. Then the […]
Clean Sheets

That day that you make the effort to change the sheets, air the bed well and have it all remade as well as doing lots of other jobs about the place. By the time you get to climb into bed you are pretty tired and being horizontal is a blessed relief. As you slip your […]
Ironing It Out
Posted on January 5, 2017 Leave a Comment
I am NOT a fan of ironing! There, I’ve admitted it. It’s true that things look lovely all pressed and sharp, but the effort and time involved doesn’t balance it out in my books to make it a priority. The solution to this Martha Stewart dilemma… everyone does their own ironing in our house. If you […]

We’ve been the proud owners of this little car for two years now and one of the first things I asked for was new hubcaps…it had just one 😦 . Well, life comes and goes and we come and go with it, and the car has been used by all the kids at various times […]

A friend had told me that she had done it. I had always wondered but now decided to give it a go. The day was set. Family organized…or, at least, warned. And now that I had committed it was growing…at an alarming rate, which actually means that alarm bells were beginning to ring in my […]

Summer evenings spent watering the garden and enjoying a pod of peas (Okay…a few). It’s a joy that spells warm summer days and sunshine. #Grateful
All Awash

The long weekend to celebrate Easter has come and gone. The house is now empty again as everyone has gone back to work. I should also be out in the studio wielding that paintbrush but first I’d just like to get the washing out and drying. Taking all the cleaned clothes off the lines […]

They have all moved out of home and into their new abodes. Although I love this nest now clean and quiet, I miss their noise and … no! I don’t miss their mess!!! I wanted to see their new homes. This Mama bird was curious as to how they were doing. So the Papa bird […]
All in a Vacuum

They’ve gone. After all the noise and activity of this Christmas holiday period they are gone. Within three days the nest was vacated. And I am all in a vacuum. But very grateful for those Boxing Day Sales that had each of them sent on their way with a new vacuum cleaner to start life […]
