. I have been in a reflective mood recently. Thinking about things in the past. Distant and recent. Wondering if I could have done things differently. Or if other people could have done things differently. If I had my time again would I do the same again? Or would I make different decisions in those same situations. Pondering the what ifs. Pondering on whether I

This recipe comes hot on the heels of my making waffles with gin and tonic for World Gin Day Pimms O’Clock Waffles Print Prep time 10 mins Cook time 10 mins Total time 20 mins
. My love of all things smelly is legendary. This is a really quick post to tell you about some lovely products that I was sent recently. All the products are inspired by the plants grown in the walled Garden of Gordon Castle in Scotland. The eight acre Victorian Walled Garden forms the centrepiece of the grounds; the lovingly restored gardens playing host to an ancient collection of 269 fruit
. I don’t know about you but when I am buying presents for Father’s Day I know I can’t go wrong with something booze related. Either a really great bottle of Port, or a glass that says “Best Dad”, it is highly likely your recipient will be hugely grateful. Here are a few ideas on a boozy theme for Father’s Day this weekend. First up is a brilliant
. When you wake up to the news that it is World Gin Day you can’t let this day go unmarked. Though even I drew the line at cracking open the G&T at 8am. Truth be told though I don’t like G&T because I don’t like tonic. Gin and lemonade is more my thing, or of course the legendary Mummy B Martini in a pint glass.
. I don’t do travelling light. I never have. And quite frankly I never will. I am going away for, let’s say four days so NEED four outfits. At least. Possibly even six if we are doing a posh dinner. Or if I am out all day and want to change in the evening. I also want a change of shoes. And toiletries. And make up.
. Well technically this isn’t recycling as I bought the tea caddies especially but I thought I would share as it is so simple and, I think, looks fab. I first saw the idea on Pinterest a while ago where somebody had planted something in square Whittards tea tins, all different colours and standing on a window sill they looked fabulous. I have finally got around to recreating it
. You know when you read something in French and then you translate it and you think “well that can’t be right” so you do a Google translate on it to check on your rusty school French? And then it comes up with the same thing as you just thought? So you then think the website owner must have made a mistake? And then you wonder if this is
.Karcher K4 Compact Home Review Buying a new pressure washer can be a bit of a head scratching moment, there are so many to choose from, where do you actually start? Well I would suggest the Karcher K4 would be a very good place to start. Is the Karcher K4 any good? Well hey say a picture paints a thousand words so I am going to let you see for
. It’s weird. This is one of those posts that I am starting and not knowing what I am really going to say. Well that bit isn’t weird, alot of my posts start like that. The majority of them though, I know where I am going with it. With this I don’t. But I started this blog as a place to get things out of my
. . Halfway down the stairs is a stair where i sit. there isn’t any other stair quite like it. i’m not at the bottom, i’m not at the top; so this is the stair where I always stop. For the last half a dozen years my favourite place has been right on the bottom edge of Barbados. Where the Atlantic meets the Caribbean. Just in front
. What was I thinking when I decided to get 21 birthday presents for Caity’s birthday?! Alongside deciding I would get 50 for Mr B who turned 50 five days later? I must have been mad. But actually thanks to the internet I managed to get all of them without even leaving my desk. These are some of my favourites that I got Caity The Easy Lock Now
