Lovely Fireworks…..

Every year in Winchester The Winchester Round Table Bonfire and Fireworks display takes place. This year is was the 49th one. Around 20,000 people follow a torch lit procession from Winchester Guildhall to the North Walls playing fields. Then the bonfire is lit by the Mayor of Winchester. And then the fireworks start…. The fireworks are wonderful, Little Man was quite impressed but preferred his spinning light ‘thingy’ that Uncle Jonny bought him ! Not often I get my two together so it was a lovely evening x

They usually raise about £30,000 for local charities. It is quite unbelievable that the whole event is free but long may it continue ~

Gorgeous Cath shop window……

Wow what a funny day driving today at lunch time the temperature outside was 19 degrees! Blimey that is warm for the end of October. It was very strange driving passed all the trees that have changed into their autumn colours and being so warm  outside. Now onto the lovely cath shop in Winchester, The shop window looks gorgeous with a white voile and them lots of tiny christmas lights…. so simple so pretty.   And look we have a joules shop too now… how lovely x

Look at this ….

     Look at this little one, isnt she so cute. I fell in love with this picture when I saw it at the boot sale last week, she is just so adorable.  Her lovely curls and beautiful face I just fell in love with her. Bargain at 50 pence. I had no idea where I would put her but have found the ideal place, unfortunately for her its the toilet! But it looks great it there even if I say so myself.  I haven't looked to see if its a photograph or just a poster I expect it is a poster it came in the gold frame and I wouldn't usually choose it but it just goes with the picture something is telling me not to take it out of this frame, weird I know but I am just sensing something.

Now I am going to bore you all with the love of my life Archie Poo! Look at his curls aren't they just adorable. Here he is with Stanley dog they look like butter wouldn’t melt but we know better don't we.

Here is Archie with his favourite toy yes the sky remote control ! Yep he has cars, bricks books but does he like them well yes he does like them but its much better pressing the buttons on the sky remote!  I love this photo of him he just looks so adorable! (yes i am very bias) He is growing up so quickly time is flying by he is 17 months old now and very wise! He is such a happy little chap I am one proud Nana x x x

Sew……

Yes today I got my copy of Sew by Cath Kidston. Yep I went into her wonderful shop in Winchester and purchased my copy of the book. Only to get it home to see this….. Yes its a signed copy of the book! How lovely is that what a lovely surprise.

I am loving the book I just need to be very brave and try and make something.

Cake Wrecks….

Whilst reading the daily mail online i came across an article about ‘cake wrecks’ there is a blog dedicated to them. I have some of the photographs here imagine receiving some of these Ummm Best Wishes Suzanne, under neath that, We will miss you were obviously the instructions! Its a Gril! lovely!

Who wouldn’t want this lovely M & M cake! TThis one should have said Happy Fatherhood! instead they got ‘Happy Falker Satherhood' Not sure where the

lettering has gone on this one!

So professional!

Why would you put a baby on a carrot? And why a baby with mohican hair do! Weird.

Does this peacock look a little rude! 

The likeness is excellent isnt it! 

This cake leaves me speechless I just wonder why ??

Halloween!

Yes its nearly that time of year again. I have to admit I do not go mad over Halloween but I do always put a carved pumpkin outside. There is a sort of unwritten rule that if you have a pumpkin outside, them you do not mind trick or treaters knocking on your door. I cannot take credit for any of the photographs they come from the Country Living Website but dont they look great!

My pumpkin will be very simple I am sure! just a face on the pumpkin…

Thank goodness its back!

Yes my header is back! Goodness know what happened but at least it is back!

I felt sort of naked with out my header photography. I missed my mum in the photograph! For all of you that don't know the lady in the flower dress is my wonderful mum, the other lady is her Aunt and the two boys are my brothers. This photo was taken in Germany (mum was German) and my brothers were bought up there before moving over to the UK.

I love my header photo it means a lot to me and I am glad it is back x x
