Work work work work work… So things aren’t exactly going the way I planned when I handed in that resignation 5 months ago. Don’t get me wrong, the current opportunity I’ve been given is amazing really, I am grateful, I never want it to sound like I am ungrateful. Every experience teaches you something and… Continue reading Toffee Apple Gingerbread loaf…*drool*
It’s Monday morning, I’m sat in Starbucks Deeside, and in approx 15 minutes I have to walk basically along a dual carriageway with no real pavement in order to get to work. My car is not healthy, we tried to have a nice Sunday drive out in it yesterday and it did not go well.… Continue reading Monday morning
I’ve got a confession to make. I haven’t touched a hair dryer or a pair of straighteners, or ‘styled’ my hair for around 4 months now. I’ve been completely letting it do it’s own (slightly wild) thing, and it’s actually been really ok. Amazingly ok in fact. No one has pointed in horror in the… Continue reading Curly girl
You are heartbroken, but it is just a feeling. I know it twists in the pit of your stomach and creeps into your head whenever you’re alone with your thoughts, but it is just a state of mind. It isn’t real because they didn’t really have your heart, as you did not have theirs. Your heart… Continue reading Your ship will come in.
It’s August! And although the weather has taken a bit of a turn for the worse here in North Wales, I’m feeling optimistic. The design agency I’m currently freelancing at is great fun, there’s lots of varied work to do and our little 3 person team seems to be working quite effectively and smashing through the… Continue reading FREEBIE: August downloadable calendar!
Last week didn’t start very well. We’d had a lovely weekend in Aberystwyth with my family, but on the way home on Sunday afternoon we got a flat tyre and discovered we had no spare in the compartment where the spare should have been. We were towed home which was fine, but having a flat… Continue reading Anxious Annie.
Ok. I have a sweet tooth. I LOVE baked goods and chocolate. And actually, just sweet stuff in general. Strike that, food in general. Mmmm, food. I also love home-made and artisan food. The type of food that has no unnecessary ingredients and you know exactly what you’re eating. It’s the way it used to… Continue reading #Folksyfriday sweet tooth finds
It’s Friday! I’ve had a busy week working freelance at a design agency, but today I am at home. ‘At home’ still means working, but I get to spend the day with the pooch for company. I’m so happy that freelancing has taken a turn for the better over the last few weeks, the agency I’ve… Continue reading The world of freelancing
So, I rooted out my book on wildflowers (I bought it in a charity shop!), I needed to know what those Orchid-like flowers are (see my last blog post if you’ve got no idea what I’m talking about). And I was right, they are actually a type of Orchid (happy dance). I had no idea… Continue reading Orchids and good vibes.
The pooch has been ill today. She managed to keep the vomming confined to outside all except for once. She managed to do it on the only teeny tiny bit of carpet we have downstairs, the rug. It wasn’t as bad as the one time when she was a baby and she managed to poop through… Continue reading Wildflowers.
