We’ve been concentrating on the kitchen for most part of this year, but my studio and the downstairs loo are next on the list and I’ve been busy patching up the walls and filling in holes so that they are ready for sanding and painting.

I got a great big box of goodies from the folks at moo.com. I don’t know if you remember, but recently I won 2nd prize in a competition of theirs – they chose my blog post about facebook tips and tricks and I got £100 to spend at moo.com!

How is it possible that the temperature in our kitchen is several degrees lower than the temperature in our greenhouse?

Today I said goodbye to my camera – I had to pack it up and send it off for repair – something I should have done months ago, but something I’ve been delaying for as long as possible as I hate to be without it. There is dust on the sensor and there is no way for me to clean the sensor myself and so I’ve had to send it back to Camerabox.

Book Hoo – not sure when I’ll get it back!

I love autumn. It’s the colours, the frosty mornings, the starry clear skies, the need to wrap up in a warm blankie on the sofa – oh so many things. One thing I do love about autumn though is walking the dog in the woods.

I made myself a cup of coffee and when I got to my desk and sat it down I noticed that the froth on the top had formed into the most perfect love heart. I rushed to get my camera to capture the moment, but I was a bit too late as the shape had started to distort and within seconds had vanished.

Birthdays and surprises! It’s Colin’s birthday today and although he got to open his presents this morning and got breakfast in bed, we did most of the celebrating yesterday. I took him on a magical mystery tour day out! It was a lovely autumnal wintry morning and this set the tone for the most perfect day!

I remember when I was little and we got milk delivered to our door every morning in glass bottles. Sometimes I’d wake up early and hear the milk van in the street with all the bottle rattling in the back. I used to love opening the back door to find two bottles of milk waiting on the doorstep and if it was winter the milk often froze, pushing the silver bottle tops up. Supermarkets came along and milk deliveries seemed to get wiped out…

I feel so lucky to have Colin in my life. We’ve been together for over 10 years now and I can’t believe he’s put up with me for so long. We’ve had quite a difficult few years TTC and I’ve had so many ups and downs (mainly downs) and he’s stuck by me through all of this and tolerated all my moods and outbursts and my tears.

When I was in London I bought some new shoes. I’m not shoe crazy at all in fact I think I have less than ten pairs of shoes or boots in total – this is probably quite strange for a lady but on a day to day basis I normally wear either my hiking boots or my wellies and it’s only on the odd trip out that my feet get a treat and I wear something else. Well now my feet are very happy…
