Gone Fishing

As you read this I'm on my hols - consider this a virtual postcard from the beach where me and Hubbie and the boy are sunning ourselves. The boy has stated his intention to eat ice cream and lollies on the beach every day, Hubbie wants to just get some sleep and I'm hoping to finish a book. Just one book, I'm not greedy.

The day before we left I donated blood and loaded up series 6 of Mad Men on my iPad as well as 6 Peppa Pig episodes and 10 Dora the Explorers. I've taken teabags - I can't be doing with Liptons which you always get abroad - and whole food bars as we're self catering so I've not entirely escaped cooking.

Sunshine and shades :)

So this comes to you via the magic of the internet - and a slight hope that it's not as hot there as it is here :) 

Even the cat will be sunbathing

All of your five a day... in a pen !!

Ok so I get a lot of boring post. The usual junk mail, menus for food I am not allowed to eat on a diet and offers to buy private healthcare or to change broadband supplier. It's not an inspiring array of items to open - especially as the run up to Christmas was mostly exciting parcels. 

In the last few days though I got an envelope which was a bit bumpy and I didn't know who it was from. Then I opened it and inside was this beauty !!

The lovely folks at Ella's Kitchen sent it as thanks for completing a survey for them. Come on, you can't tell me a fruit pen didn't raise a smile on a miserable February day :)
