Happy Birthday Hubby!!

So today's my wonderful Hubby's Birthday! A whole 26 years old! To celebrate last night we won't out with a group of friends for an Indian meal and bowling, and wow what a great night!
For his birthday he wanted Next vouchers so he could treat himself to a few key items for his wardrobe, he came out looking like this -




I won't deny he did have a little help from me BUT man does he look great! And this was me for the evening -




So this morning the doctor ordered a full English breakfast for Hubby's hangover and chocolate cupcakes instead of a birthday cake! Check out these beauties -








Chocolate sponge with white chocolate and dark chocolate ganache! Mmmmmm dreamy!

For tea was a wonderful fish pie, made 100% from scratch. That's my pie challange for the month -








Oh and yes I LOVE carrots! Lol

That's all for now, catch you soon.

The Cat Cafe

We had our first evening out in The Cat Cafe last night and wow what a night. They had a wonderful jazz group playing called Rebecca Chambers and the Dave Walton Trio, wow what a voice Rebecca has! It was such a lovely mellow evening, just what the doctor called for! The Cat Cafe has such a lovely chilled, friendly atmosphere oh and their coffee is Devine! If you're in or passing Wincanton pompon fora coffee and a slice of gorgeous cake, you will not be disappointed!




We were treated to tea at my brothers today, his wonderful daughter wasn't so happy though - teething and a cold = grumpy pants!

Bargain of the Week

So I've been dying to get a pair of good quality winter boots, but the price tags on the ones I liked left a lot to be desired! Until I visited my Mum at work - she works in a shoe shop in town. They had a sale on but never have anything in my size but today they did, one pair of boots and they were perfect. The price tag £65 so I walked away, that's when my mum showed me the other boot with the sale price. . . . . Leather Wrangler boots £15!!!! I snapped them up! What do you think?







Perfect for under jeans with thick warm socks! Can't go wrong for £15.00! And they should last for years!

Sorry ......

I keep writing blogs on my BlogPress app and then try and post them and it won't finalise! This thing drives me crazy! I cant do a blog entry on my iPad with photos without using this app. I'll do a lush big blog at the weekend I promise! 

I hate being lame, sorry.

Goodbye January

So January has now been and gone. To be honest I'm quite glad, this year I had a huge case of January blues!

So my first month of challenges and I think I did quite well.

I made my first ever pie from scratch which was so so tasty! My Hubby can't wait for the next one and has been bugging me since! 

I learnt a new craft skill whilst making a 'big' project. I'm saving the photos and tutorial until I have the canvases up on the wall. But as a hint it involved the best invention ever . . . . MOD Podge! I had never used the stuff before now and I LOVE IT!

I failed at losing 4lbs though, but I don't see that a huge issue, it's been a busy and quite horrible month all-round. And I haven't been on the treadmill at all yet - I hurt my big toe at Zumba :-(

But I have been going to Zumba twice a week all month, which has been hard work. I'm now starting to feel that going to two Zumba class a week by the same instructor is taking the some of the fun out of it. My Mum and I need to sit down and discuss it and decide what to do.

On Sunday my dearest friend Harry and I went for a walk. We left at 8am and didn't get home until 10:40! It was so wonderful strolling along in the brisk, frosty, quiet morning. We tried to remember an old walk that we used to do when we were teenagers, it was nice to reminisce. The fields we quite and white with frost, we walked down lanes of beautiful houses and cottages. We spotted some pheasants, alpaca, pigmy goats, buzzards and bantams to name a few. It really was bliss. When I got home I calculated how far we had been and was very surprised to find it was around 7 miles. We had to agree to do the same next month but explore a different route. 

That's all for now guys and gals.
