There is very little point in denying that my vision of heaven is one of twee – cream teas on the lawn, bunting billowing in amongst some apple trees, (ideally mute) children fishing for minnows in the stream, and cow parsley growing in between the mechanics of an artistically placed item of agricultural equipment. Unfortunately…

Rolling in the deep
Despite trying, my middle aged gene seems beyond repression and so this week I shall be glued to Alan at Chelsea. The previews on the BBC so far have been very intriguing, and although perhaps a bit too early in the day to pass judgement, and I understand that the man has a reputation to…
The Day Job
I do Social Media now. The business consultancy side though, not the agency stuff. You have to wear cooler trainers, and still I haven’t graduated from Converse. A brief pictorial ‘day in the life’: One only finds well articulated public notices in Kew, surrounded by a sea of twee. I have no idea where the…
It’s a waiting game
Currently on the list: News of visas Destination of potential far flung adventure Purchase of the ‘New Palace’ Start dates for the money making work For reversible jumpers to make a come back Invitation to Royal Wedding I can only assume it was lost in the post. My patience is severely being tested. All things…
Moving on…
That be it then – ‘The Palace’ (as featured) has been sold. Twice in fact, although we are very happy that it has gone to the lovely young couple (both work for the NHS, he – VERY shiny shoes, she – mixes high street with vintage very well) rather than the grouchy lady who’s brother-in-law…
Sunny Side Up
Tonight we cooked what OFT (Old Father Turner) refers to as a ‘Cowboy’s breakfast’. Not normally being people that fry, achieving anything sunny side proved a quandary until a griddle turned up at the back of a cupboard. If I had asked a graphic designer to cook a couple of eggs, this is what I would’ve expected…
This Friday I’m Loving…
‘Grenade’ as performed by ‘The Trio’ on American Idol. I have become ever so slightly mesmorised by their ability to sing, wiggle alluringly, and maintain such a high level of stability in killer heels… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYhZ4bclg-M
New
Things are changing around here, and to coincide the blog is having a bit of an overhaul. So far this has involved changing the template to incorporate a fabric chicken and other random object d’art, but it’s a start. This morning I woke up to find my euphorbia – my favourite plant – has decided…
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday to my Husband. That’s two of us now a year away from the big ‘3’ ‘0’. Depressingly it will always be me that reaches these milestones first and the toy boy won’t let me forget it. I am finding that this age offers interesting juxtapositions. A happy afternoon was spent recently hiding from…
Thanks
To all of my mad ex colleagues, Thanks for my balloons, the explosion of pink on my desk, my ‘I O U M Y M A S S Y’ banner (didn’t like to admit that took me a while), my Michelin restaurant afternoon tea voucher and other random lovely bits, my customised hoodie (which is…
