Race For Life

Ok this is quite frankly shameless promotion but I don't mind it is for charity!

Me and my faithful lovely dog will be doing the 10K Race For Life on 1st of July and I want to raise as much money as I can.

Indie will be sporting a hand made pink coat which is being kindly made and generously donated by Kate of 3pusscats on Ebay. (Pictures to follow)

So please give generously and help us raise lots of money Race for Life

Freshly painted

Ok to some having rooms in your home professional painted is the norm, but not in my house.  So I wanted to share with you as (a) In love how amazing it has turned out and (b) I love the colours I picked.
We now have an impressive lovely green door, along with a gorgeous Lime Green hall, stairs and landing.
The kitchen is a rich Terracotta colour and all the wood work is gleaming shiny White.
The finishing touch to the kitchen is the loveliest kettle i've ever owed. It's a Breville and not only does the colour go, but it's sleak and glows in the dark!!

P.S. This blog was done via my phone and annoyingly I can not rotate pictures to be the correct way!

Preston-On-Wye, Hereford

Last weekend my partner and I had the joy of a long weekend away with the two dogs as little man was off on an awesome adventure to France.

We rented the most beautiful cottage which had everything and more you could ever need.  It was surrounded by countryside and half an hour from Hay-on-Wye the Brecon Beacons and Black Mountains which has part of the Offas Dyke walk.

So here is a photographic imagery of our weekend.


For those who follow the progress of our puppy this is some nice shots to show just how big his paws are and how big he is getting, but oh so cuddly.


I managed to get a little crafting of the crotchet variety in with my never ending blanket!  I also could not resist taking a picture of some Welsh fleece blowing in the wind!



On the way back from our weekend we stopped off at a lovely walk in the Forest of Dean which is only a short trip from home.



Finally for those that know my family will know that we have been blessed with three truely and much loved dogs, with the fairly recent addition of Indie in October of last year.

However sadly our oldest and dearest dog Ebony passed away and is now watching over us have the time of her life with all her other doggy friends.  R.I.P. Ebony we love you dearly xxx






Hamza Yassin and my knitwear

So to say I am a huge fan of Hamza Yassin is a massive understatement. I had the privilege to meet Hamza earlier this year at the Hay Book F...
