Signs of summer...

On a recent walk out we came across these glimpses of summer.....

 

I need to get my pencils out again soon I think :) 

Been a while....

...since I last blogged, I can't believe it was last month!
Its been the Easter holidays here for the last couple of weeks so the usual routine has been forgotten, though is now feeling very much needed, my son has had heat exhaustion for the last week after playing out way too much and not resting or drinking enough, so a lesson well and truly learned there for all of us! He has been very poorly but is now on the mend :)

I recently watched the ITV (uk) comedy/drama Married Single Other and really loved it, bought myself the download of the series and am hoping they bring out a soundtrack to it, as I loved that too :)
This was the theme song to the show :)

Good for the soul

In case you hadn't already kinda guessed I LOVE music, I can't think of a genre that I could say I don't like at all it just depends on mood and emotions at the time or attatched to the particular tune or song.
This song I was recently told to listen to by a good friend of mine, I now can't stop listening to it, anytime of day or night, no matter what my mood it makes me stop and listen to it, I love the different tempos and emotions it makes me feel whenever I listen and I seem to hear something different everytime.



I know this was from a film but I'm sure I've heard it before, and pretty sure I've not seen the film.... anyone know if its been used in anything else? advert maybe?

Busy weekend....

I have had a great weekend! On saturday I was taken out for the day to Winchester for a surprise day out... what I didn't realise was that one of my very best friends who lives more than 250 miles away had driven down to surprise me, we had a great day out, was so good to see him and catch up,it had been a long 18 months. :)

We'd also been on a shopping trip to Southampton the week before for my mums birthday, that was a great day too! I'm being spoilt :)
While we were out we stopped for a drink and my daughter wanted hot chocolate, the girl at the counter asked if cream and marshmallows were wanted - knowing my daughter I said yes... this is what she got!! (Wow)

Lazy Saturday :)

After a majorly long day yesterday shopping with my mum on her birthday I am today having a very lazy/relaxing day :)
I got myself some different clothes (For me) yesterday, trackie type trousers and a hooded top, I feel very young today in them lol, finally got some black nail varnish too, been wanting some of that for ages - I painted my nails a while ago and love them! :)

I keep listening to a song by JLS at the moment (far from the boy band loving stage of my life but like who/what I like because of the song/words or whatever, don't ever not like something without listening just because of who its by!) I love the video too, its kinda simple though the effects are really clever, you can see it here or via my favourites page

Hope you have a good weekend! :) x

Massive clear out!

Spring must be in the air, I am having a massive clearout of old stuff at the moment. Have already taken in 6 large bags to charity shops and after sorting out my wardrobe today I have 8 (yes 8) carrier bag fulls to give in, I was fed up of looking at an overly full wardrobe and thinking I have nothing to wear! So anything that was passed its best or didn't make me feel nice wearing it, has gone!
Its kinda pointless moving things out the way that i'll never use, so out it all goes! :)
Anyway I now have to finish putting everything that is staying back into my now quite empty wardrobe! :) x

Mothers Day

Today has been (is) Mothering Sunday in the UK. I have had a really lovely and busy day, I was woken by my 2 first thing this morning with tea and toast in bed, handmade cards and a handmade flower (pic to follow) from my daughter. I couldn't of asked or wanted for more, I don't need expensive 'things' to show me they love me, just to be remembered is more than enough. Its been a nice day here and overall the mildest (ha still FREEZING) so far, so I did a load of clearing up in the garden, and creosoted the fence :)

I hope everyone has had a nice day :)

My partner played me this song a while ago now when I was feeling a bit down... is rather fitting for Mothers Day too.
