A Bit Of Glam!!!

Ruby wanted to paint her nails today. We ended up with full on glam with holographic tips and super shiny gems. It didn't last long before the tips were picked off followed by the gems.
I hope Mummy has some polish remover when we pop by for a visit tomorrow evening.

I have been teaching her French Knitting today. We tried it last year but I think she was a bit young. This year she has cracked it as long as I hold the dolly. We are hoping to make coasters for Mummy and Daddy.

These days full of love, kisses cuddles and laughter are just what I need right now.

Thanks for popping by.

Happiness Is!!!

Waking up to the smiling face of my gorgeous girl.....it's wonderful.

Today so far we have emptied her wompy twopy tin and counted the coins into bags ready for the bank. She'll need a wheelbarrow....£15 in 1p's and 2p's weighs a heck of a lot.
We have made the lavender bunches. It's a bit past it's best but she really enjoyed doing it.
For the rest she has been playing with her dolls and just chilling out until we pop out later on the hunt for a little china tea set so that she can play picnics with her dolls and pick up the popcorn that naughty Ganma forgot to get.

Tomorrow the craft box is coming out for a making session....of what I do not know but I'm sure Ruby will be full of ideas.

Posts this week will probably be later in the day once Aunty DD is home and they get chattering and giggling.

Hope you are all enjoying a lovely sunny day.

......And A Good Time Was Had By All!!!

Grab a box

Burgers, corn on the cob and American potato bites with chilli cheese and smokey barbecue dressing.

Fancy a Hot Dog? Plain potatoes for Ruby.

The perfect burger additions.

All that's left of desserts....sorry.

I am so glad that we went ahead with our party yesterday. It was a lovely, lovely afternoon.
The weather played ball so that we could have it out in the garden.
The company was fabulous and to top it all we had a superstar guest......Ruby dressed as Wonder Woman which was so perfect for the theme.
After eating we roasted marshmallows over the fire pit and squidged them between chocolate digestive biscuits.....not strictly proper S'Mores but pretty damn nice all the same. Ruby thought it was great fun.
We stayed out until just after 7pm and then DS and DDIL made their way home with two very sleepy little girls.
I want to do it again........soon.

Ruby will be back here later for the start of her week long sleepover and I can't wait.
At hubby's request we are having a roast lunch to use up some more chicken breasts from the freezer although we won't have it until tea time as DD is at work until 3pm.
So I just have to prepare the meal, change the bed and tidy up the bedroom. I'd better do some laundry too......mmmmm so much for a lazy Bank Holiday Monday.....lol.

Hope you are all enjoying your Bank Holiday.
Thanks for stopping by.

The Garden Stall!!!

Thank you all so much for your kind comments yesterday. I appreciate them all.

Hubby and I so enjoyed our little trips out to have a wander round the little town when he was on holiday that we decided to do the same yesterday.
I was quite excited as it was the last Saturday of the month which meant that the Makers Market would be there and I really wanted another look at the garden stall I had seen earlier in the year...and which I promised you pictures of.
........and here it is

Ox Eye Daisy

Isn't it just beautiful?
I could stand and look at it all day there are so many gorgeous garden themed things to look at.
From the brochure I picked up I found out that the stall owner Louise runs it with her son Matt who is an horticulturalist. She designs and creates the gorgeous wooden garden accessories which are really beautiful and fun too.

Some of the places you can find the stall.

I have not been paid to advertise this business I just wanted to share it with you as I think it's one of the most lovely stalls I have ever seen at a market.

On to other things.
Hubby is in very good spirits and looking forward to the party today. The weather isn't looking fabulous so it may well be an indoor party which is a shame as the garden is looking so nice. Still the food will taste the same in or out so I don't suppose it matters.
I am just about to bake the apple pie and make some blueberry muffins. There are onions to be peeled and chopped,tomatoes to slice and lettuce to prepare, potatoes to par boil and slice so I am going to be quite busy..........once I have had my coffee that is....lol.
The American Style Diner will be open for business at 4pm. I wish I could invite you all.

Thanks for visiting today.

So Now We Know!!!

At his post biopsy appointment yesterday they were able to give hubby his results and he does have the dreaded C word.
They think that they have caught it early and he was given three options for treatment....1) Leave it (yeah right). 2) Have it removed and 3) Radiotherapy. He has gone for the remove option and they said that once it's removed that will be that unless it comes back in the future.
He needs to heal completely from his biopsy before they operate as he was very badly bruised and then he will go in, have his operation and be in for five days.
I offered to cancel the party tomorrow but he wants it to go ahead and have a fun day before all the serious stuff starts so have fun we will.

I'll be back tomorrow. I'm just too emotional to write much more today.
Thanks so much for visiting.
