Hello lovelies,
I bet you thought I'd fallen off the face of the Earth hey? No such luck!
I know, I've been completely and utterly rubbish at updating my blog over the last few months but hope to be checking in a bit more often again from now on.
Since I last posted I've become an aunty for the first time!

She has been taking up a LOT of my time. I wouldn't change it for the world.
Sadly it's not all good news. In June we had to say goodbye to Jasper after 11 years of love.
We miss him like crazy. When you've been used to having a dog sometimes all you want is a warm, furry hug to cheer you up.
On a lighter note...
I've been enjoying summer and what a summer we've had in the UK. I don't remember so many days in a row where you could wake up and not have to wonder what the weather will turn out like. Normally if you want to wear sandals and a dress without drowning/having a gust of wind expose your knickers you have to be psychic. I've been told by several oldies of the infamous (to them) hot summer of '76. Hopefully we won't have to wait 37 years until the next! While I'm on the subject it wouldn't be very British of me not to moan about the weather too, because let's face it, whatever it does is never right for us...
and this year I wouldn't have minded a little more rain as I finally got an allotment after being on the waiting list for ages...
I was starting to think that you had to wait for one of the plot holders to be pushing up daisies before you got anywhere on the list. Turns out I wasn't far off but in this instance the council decided to rent half of another field to cope with demand for plots. Phew, no need to bump off an OAP!
