listing

Don't you love making lists? Things to do, places to go, favourite books, films, biscuits, best meals eaten (I spend a lot of time thinking about food) ...

The best kind of list is a happy list, quite literally a list of things that I like and make me happy. Always produces a smile and also steers you towards the glass being half full rather than half empty. Here is one for today:

Bamburgh, baking, beaches, books, puffins, kittens (especially Bee and May), peas, camping, ranunculus, tidying, bellinis, Venice, magazines, the Lake District, my lomo camera, crochet, sewing ...

That's all for now. Unfortunately I have weekend chores to do (something that wouldn't be on the happy list!.

April showers

We've had snow, sunshine and hail so spring is tantalising us but never quite arriving. I'm just hoping it is saving itself in order to produce a glorious May as the 17th is the 'big day'.

This is where we are getting married. One of my favourite places in the whole world.

I've been trying to plough on with the bunting mountain. As you can see there is still a long way to go. I'm feeling quite intimidated by the pile of fabric waiting to be cut and sewn. Metres of bunting completed = 0, metres to be completed = 80.
