Posts Tagged ‘This is…’
The topic this week made it hard to choose just one “thing”, there’s so much good stuff out there to pick from! But a little discovery when I was cleaning upstairs helped me out – my little tub of teeny tiny seashells I’d collected from a beach in Rovinj in the spring. It’s impossible to [...]

This is… my favourite quote
“Consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative” – Oscar Wilde.
A little something to give me a kick up the backside if I ever feel life is getting stale – and to remind my indecisive, over-thinking self that change is good.

I love making these brownies; the recipe is really simple, but they are so satisfying – and so good that I’ve had people with a serious nut allergy risk eating them anyway… Not for times you’re hoping to drop a few pounds or lower your cholesterol level: you have been warned.
You need…

When I was much younger than I am today, I was quite scared of dogs. Not just the big, barking, teeth-everywhere kind, but pretty much all dogs. I was never one of those kids who begged my parents for a puppy; cats, rabbits and hamsters were my thing, well within my comfort zone. I have [...]

This is… my favourite film
I’m certain there is a list longer than I am tall, of films I should see that I haven’t, so I reserve the right to change my mind an infinite number of times in the future when I start working my way through them! But I love American Beauty. I don’t care whether other people [...]

A lovely pile of books; the ones I got for my birthday recently, plus a stack of chick-lit from the library for easy bedtime reading to send me off to sleep. I’m also addicted to magazines. I really will read almost anything.

Being someone who has to be grabbed around the wrist and pulled away from kitchenware shops, this topic wasn’t likely to cause me any trouble. Except perhaps, narrowing it down to just one item. So I didn’t bother; these are some of my favourite kitcheny things – generally if it’s pink, it’s in. [...]

This is… show off time!
I thought I was going to have trouble picking something for this week’s pic; I want to show the world my bunnies, my lovely sunflowers (still going strong!), little cute things cluttering up my house… and then my husband shocked the hell out of me with a jaw-droppingly fabulous birthday present that he’d saved up [...]

I found the theme this week quite tough; I think it’s the procrastinator in me that doesn’t want to commit to anything specific. So I wondered and drifted and pondered and chewed my bottom lip a bit whilst thinking hard. Whilst I’ve no desire to morph into it, I came to the conclusion that I’d [...]

I love the seaside. I wish I lived a little closer to a nice beach; the in-laws and their big house by the sea are only 45 minutes away, but it would be great to just stroll out of my own front door and wander along the seafront. There are lots of things I like [...]
