SIDETRACKED

it's been a while since i posted...things are a trifle busy around here...me + my mum have been getting ready for an arts + crafts fair this weekend which fingers crossed will be a little more fruitful than the last wedding fair we did back in february! it should be a pleasure anyway seeing as it's set at the lovely national trust house felbrigg hall in norfolk. we are sneaking along our sketchbooks just incase of quiet moments! hoping to return with at worst...some new doodles + at best...with an order : )

i have a few celebrations coming up which is always good...a birthday for me + one for my blog too! my plan is to come back a year older + with a fresh blog look for summer...i haven't forgot that i still owe a holiday story amongst other goings-on-tales...so see you back here soon! until then i'd like to send good wishes out there to my blogging friends that i've been very much neglecting lately...i've hardly had a minute to be in touch with you so here's a hello...i'll be in touch soon! wishing everyone a lovely weekend + for those lucky folk who have an extra day-off on monday here in the uk...enjoy it even if it rains...how could it?! xxx

THE SUNDAY STAY-IN

i'm home

it's rainy here today + what better excuse than to stay indoors?

unashamedly i have eaten a breakfast of lots of coffee + toast
(with lime curd made yesterday)

this afternoon?
i'm going to light the fire
watch an old film
read the papers
snuggle on the sofa with c + b
listen to new guitar tunes
sing songs we heard at a concert last night
eat a buttery herbed roast chicken
enjoy the comforts of home

tomorrow?
back to work
+ back here
with tales of my holiday
