Today we’re feeling a bit sad because our pet garden frog has met an untimely end. He was hiding behind a rose bush when we were cutting the grass and is no more. Sigh. So here’s a nice picture taken in Teignmouth this summer. We’re off out to our friends house for dinner.
Day Three
Ooops, I didn’t have time to post yesterday. I was too tired to to do anything after work last night except watch Ugly Betty! Today my mum visited us on a day trip from the Isle of Wight (thanks mum!). We went for lunch at a great gastro-pub in Winchmore Hill and she helped me…
Trying something new

I love this new Christmas fabric … and these decorations. I think I’ll be heading off to my local Cath Kidston shop…
Look what I won!
I was lucky enough to win a copy of Green is the New Black in a giveaway on the Make London blog the other week. The book arrived today and looks great so it is packed in my Orla Kiely weekend bag. Monday is our three year anniversary so I’m ready to be whisked off…
Look what I found…
I was very excited to find this competition today. I have already made a start on mine. And I’ve set up a group on flickr for anyone who wants to join in the fun!
