cat-tea...(see what I did there?? no...okay..sadface...)

Two of my very favourite things in my life are most definitely my cats and a perfectly brewed cup of tea. So much excitement when I find these amazing "Tea for Two" sets and the cats on them are more or less identical to two of my little bubas! Perfect for our morning brew together! 


Mylo's tea set


Gertie's tea set

How much also, do you think it added to my excitement when I perused the site a little further to find out they did a Little Red Riding Hood version. On a sad note, they are Japanese, payable only in Yen and do not ship to England...the slightest of spanners in the works...

Have Bento's not Mento's.....

Sundays are a good day for cooking and generally messing about, doing things you don't ever seem to be able to muster the time for midweek. I've got through a big wodge of cooking today, things that are a bit long winded and time consuming but I don't know if I would ever have the time to create a Bento box as amazing as any of these gorgeous little beasts. If I did somehow find the time, I don't ever think I could eat them. Just beyond cute!

Totoro

Photo challenge.....

Todays challenge required a bit of thought:
Day 10  A photo of our favorite place to eat.
Although I have restaurants that I like, I couldn't particularly think of one that I really liked so I  thought of an actual place. It may not seem very glamorous, quite frankly its not and the food isn't exactly michelin star but its just about good times so I chose Scarborough. 




One of my favourite things to do with the man is just get in the car and go for a drive. We get fish and chips and sit on the beach front and sometimes I think its just nice to have a sit...



Then we have a bit of a walk and get an Ice cream, its not much but I love it...

Photo challenge.....


Todays challenge (though about 30 mintues late! Oooops!) is
Day 9  A photo of the item you last purchased.
Being the amazing friend that I am I saw these 70's style wedges that were just too big for my footsies but at £3 I couldn't just leave them in the shop so I snapped them up for my darling Patsy. At least I know there going to a good home.... 



Also I have no idea why the uploader is flipping my pictures!! Slightly annoying!

Here comes the sun....

I don't know what it is at the minute, and I feel strange even typing it but I really cannot wait till summer. Normally it's the time of year I dread the most, I'm a redhead so no glorious tan for me but a painting of luminous fiery pink is all I get. I'm paranoid about my affectionately named "Nana Arms" and insist on wearing long sleeved tops even in scorching heat and I'm ridiculously allergic to bee stings so even the mere faint buzz of one sends me into full on panic mode. Despite all this I cannot wait to get a bit of warmth back, probably due to the near on Arctic conditions we have been bestowed with this winter.  I need: 


flowers back in my life


and dizzyingly high ice creams


picnic's in the park with friends


bike rides 


and trips to the beach

Roll on summer is all I can say, I might even take my cardi off too!!

photo challenge day 8

Todays photo challenge is: 
Day 8  A song to match your mood.
Today is a right old hectic day but the thing that is probably taking president over everything is that, like I said earlier; its the man friends stag do today. So I feel it is apt that my song choice is the AMAZING song " I say a little prayer for you" by Dionne Warwick. 



I think he will need it! Plus since I have the house to myself I had a great time dancing around the kitchen with the cats to it to cheer me up a little after he had gone.
