It's the big 7 year anniversary ...I am going to give him a good back scratch tonight so he doesnt itch!

Wedding bonfire

I have so many pictures to share from Eleanor and Gareth's wedding in Wales - it was definitely not the standard wedding and that just adds to the fun and fabulousness of it. But the usual wedding pictures have to wait because I am excited about sharing pictures of the bonfire they lit on the second night of the wedding 'festival-party' first. I can't remember the last time I was at a bonfire and it was magical....Imagine you were rained on for the last 2 days and nights (not an exxageration - add to that we were also camping for this wedding) and suddenly the sky clears, full moon and the fire went up. We huddled up, warmed up, drank Amaretto and toasted marshmalllows with the fire heating up our cheeks.

This would be picture overload but it was one of my favourite bit of the wedding and I struggle to pick favourites. The fire is so mesmerising....





























bonfire + fireworks = perfect ending to the wedding party

Happiness in all forms

Things that make me happy recently


1) Home grown blueberries - finally, after 2 years in waiting!

2) freshly planted pack chois, courgettes and swiss chards

3) New addition to the garden veggie family - turnip and beetroot. We successfully planted carrots before but this year we are trying out a new variety - purple carrots with yellow concentric circles - makes you a little curious just spellling that out no!? Freshly sowed last week


4) Bedtime reading

5) Giving away 6 big bags of stuff to charity - the flat feels so much cleaner! How do we accumulate so much so quickly??


6) Vintage apothecary bottles! I had to contain myself when I saw this and the price quoted just so the lady who sold it to me doesn't think she priced it too low...because she did!


7) wedding DIY - finally got my act together to get going


8) painted toenails = sun....finally! 26 degrees today!


9) street musicians


10) this note I found while clearing stuff out...'Mr Bomba Stick' hahahaha...classic...and whose handwriting is it?


11) Tulips from Columbia flower market. Its double petal power...almost like a peony but not quite!

We have the long weekend coming up to celebrate the Queen's Jubilee and we are off to 'da valleysss' (Wales!) for a festival theme wedding! Happy 4 days weekend!
