I remember the first time I saw a copy of the book Chicken Soup for the Soul...I thought it was a cookery book lol. Twenty odd years later there are dozens of Chicken Soup books, but i've only read the first one. According to Google, the phrase itself refers to the use of Chicken Soup… Continue reading Soup for The Soul

Pug Mum Life
It's tough being a Pug...all that eating, snoozing, playing, trying to find the sunny spot on the dining room floor, walks (with fur lined rain coats) and then snuggling up in bed with your favourite humans at the end of a long hard day 😉 There are huge benefits to owning a dog (just Google… Continue reading Pug Mum Life
Kon Mari…Or Trying To
Thanks to storm Dennis we've spent most of the weekend trapped in the house (literally!) where the driveway flooded and getting to our car involved wading through 6 inches of water (in places). The poor Puggies have only been for a couple of short walks as the lanes are flooded and being Pugs, they only… Continue reading Kon Mari…Or Trying To
Do One Dennis!
The UK is currently gripped by storm Dennis, which started yesterday and is continuing on into today 😟 I don't really mind being cooped up indoors (Its an excuse to read and slump on the sofa), but the poor Puggies hate it. They still want to go for their walk, then get to the front… Continue reading Do One Dennis!
Happy Valentines
Ok, I know i'm a day late, but I think Valentines Day should be like Birthdays...run for longer than just 24 hours 😉 Yesterday my husband took me out for lunch to one of our favourite restaurants, Chapter One. We first visited the restaurant when it was The Fantail, for our 1st Wedding anniversary 34… Continue reading Happy Valentines
Napping
I've been having trouble sleeping, due to this bloody cold. I wake up coughing, cant breath through my nose...need the loo...and then cant get back to sleep lol. So yesterday (after only having 4 hours sleep the previous night) I gave in and had a nap on the sofa. Did I feel better afterwards?...ummmm...nope lol...probably… Continue reading Napping
Fresh Flowers
I love fresh flowers, especially in the winter when its grey and miserable outside. I haven't had any indoors for a while so yesterday I treated myself to a bunch of white tulips, one of my favourites (along with white & red roses). Then this morning my grandson bought me another bunch! So now I… Continue reading Fresh Flowers
Tuesday Best
I was brought up to save the best stuff for special occasions. Like your best outfit, or the best china...I have my best jewellery and my best perfume. As a kid we even had a best room (only used for visitors and Christmas! lol). Why do we do that? Surely we should enjoy our "best"… Continue reading Tuesday Best
A Moment of Pleasure
Ok, look, i'm not perfect...I am trying to diet...but sometimes, self care is all about treating yourself to something nice. And when your son spends a week in New York and brings you back a pressie, it would be very rude not to accept said present, or actually sample it 😉 I'm a huge fan… Continue reading A Moment of Pleasure
Ginger Tea
Another hectic weekend which just seemed to fly by...but...there is always chance to take just 5 minutes... I have to drink my tea (even herbal tea) from a bone china cup. It just tastes so much nicer 😊 I'm getting used to the Ginger Tea (the Cinnamon one i'm not so keen on)...but I need… Continue reading Ginger Tea
