Anniversary Meal

As Paul has been on nights for the last couple of weeks, it was not possible to go for a special meal yesterday, so we decided on tonight instead.

Sally-Ann and Mike also have a wedding anniversary today, so it was a double celebration.

We went off to The Plume in Scorrier, only to find it ram packed - we managed to get the last table - YAY!

A lovely evening followed, where we were able to catch up on the news of their holiday in Norfolk, and the visits with their old friends.

The evening finished with everyone coming back to ours to inspect the work on the kitchen so far.

I think they were quite impressed ..... but there is still a lot to do.

We decided to have this weekend off completely and have a day out tomorrow and try to find a converted chapel, that was now a coffee shop, in the middle of no-where, that we had no real directions for, but had been told was a nice visit.

Sally-Ann got out the OS map and we made a plan of action, beginning in the morning at 10.30am.

On This Day in History....

17 years ago today we got married - In fact just as today is a Thursday, so was this day in history... here are a few of my happy memories of the day, courtesy of the wonderful scrap blog pages and their great layouts....

A wonderful day, and wonderful memories - we look so young in these pictures though! What happened!

Aya - You are Great!

I have just finished watching Aya at Strawberry Koi, presenting a tutorial on how to do 1940's pin curls.

She makes everything look so easy, and I shall certainly be having a go following her hints and tips.

I shall perhaps give this a go at the weekend. Pictures to follow ..... Maybe!

New Design? Part Deux

OK so it isn't the 1940/50's inspired look I was hoping for, (see Mama Syder, Destination 1940 or Strawberry Koi in my favourite blogs list), as I had a terrible job trying to find a background and pictures that I like and that would not 'copy' these inspirational guys.

Needless to say - it has changed, albeit only by a small amount, ie a new banner, background and music added. (You can shuffle this and have a listen to some of the tunes I have chosen, most of them harping back to my teens during the 80's!)

I have also added some favourite things lists down the right hand banner - If you know me well enough, you will understand the fascination with CSI and Forensics - I am still hankering after training to be a forensic criminologist, but at £4.5k for a 2 year full time college course its a big no go at the moment!

Anyway, I digress, back to the blog....I wish that I could come up with something a little more vintage, needless to say I am still on the case and any suggestions would be gratefully received.

In the meantime enjoy and let me know what you think - and guys - that does not mean by text, phone or email!!!!

A Trip to Tehidy

After last nights excitement at the concert, we decided to have a gentle morning before dropping Jannah-Beth back to Perranporth for her shift at the shop.

Tehidy Woods was decided upon, much to Fred's approval, so off we went, with the sun shining upon us....

We decided to follow the pink trail - a mile and 3/4 of circular walk, bypassing the golf course....

where we got a good shot of the club house.....

next I used the self timer on the camera for the first time, and after a false start we managed to get this lovely shot of us all.

then of JB and her big brother, with Fred of course!

I loved this old gnarly tree, and they pulled a face when I asked them to pose with it - all I got was her and that blooming blog! LOL

We arrived back at the car just after 1pm, and headed back home for some lunch and a relax in front of film, chosen by JB, before dropping her off back home at the shop for the start of her shift.

What a lovely weekend it's been so far.....

One Night of Queen

It's JB's Birthday on the 3rd of July, she'll be 15, and as she loves Queen we thought what better than to go see a tribute band.... Gary Mullen and The Works were playing One Night of Queen at the Hall for Cornwall, so we booked it!

We arrived inplenty of time, and found our seats....

Then sat back and enjoyed a first class show....

He had us all up on our feet dancing...

This guy is fantastic - if we closed our eyes it could have been Freddie Mercury on the stage!

New Design?

Having read Mama Syders blog today, I feel inspired to do more with my background template...... But what?...... mmmmm

My brain is soooo not working today so I think I need to sleep on it for a little while. If you check out her blog, you will see why I feel the need for a revamp - It looks fantastic!

Dylan!

I fell in love with this picture so I nicked it off of Kel so you could see how the latest man in my life is doing - "in't 'e 'ansome li'l thing"...... as they say in Cornwall!

Sorry Kel - Don't tell me off - I can't help being a bit biased now can I!
