It’s been a while…
Hello! *waves frantically* So, I am back! Well, for as long as our computer works! Crikey, you really do take things for granted don’t you? All this technology at our fingertips is great, but if you can’t replace it when it breaks/croaks it you can find yourself stuck! We have lost our laptop to laptop heaven (Amen) but luckily a kind friend has given us a PC until we’re sorted again (Hallelujah!). Anyhoo, enough of the boring stuff, let’s get back to blogging.
So, I hope you’re all fine and dandy and are suitably kicking Sunday’s ass to the kerb! A few of my antics over the past weeks included family time in the sun; days in the park, eating my first ice cream (outdoor) of the year, a spot of rowing, walking and sun bathing. Nesting at home; painting windowsills and sorting our little patch of grass, baking bread, reading, eating cake and watching movies under blankets. A spot of culture and thrifting; with visits to Manchester to see the Art Gallery, visiting National Trust properties, thrifting silk scarves and a butter dish (hurrah!). Seeing friends and eating the BEST roast lamb Easter lunch followed by a guitar-shaped birthday cake (no photo evidence – all in belly) and finally planning trips to see my University friends (first hen do of the year in 3 weeks!).
To be fair, I’ve not done as much crafting as I would have liked (only things for me!). I’ve spent so much time sorting out the house (discovered pesky mold behind a wardrobe which might explain my cough) and getting on top of housework. Trust me, this is no easy feat for me. I’m not the most organised person at home. I’m slowly getting there though (which may have something to do with A Thrifty Mrs Daily Housewifery Tips – LOVE HER).
Anyhoo, I am back and have posts scheduled for the week (see, I can be organised!).
Happy Sunday!

I’ve missed you so freaking much!!! I keep scrolling down my reader just in case and then there you were! Anyways will see you soon (eeeeekkkk – need to discuss outfits asap) x
Lisa

i was thinking that Lisa but I’d have to get one, and the only ones i’ve seen that i like are online, customised and astronomical in price – anyone know of any bargains?
Lisa
Same here. I’m thinking it may just be cheaper to wear usual pjs but have hair in rollers and silly makeup. Will research and keep you posted!xx

Sounds like a great weekend – very similar to mine! Which Trust properties did you visit?
Lisa
Over the course of a few weeks; Hardcastle Crags, East Riddlesden Hall and Shibden Hall (not NT). Took advantage while the sun was out!

East Riddlesden – wonderful! Fell into the pond there when I was 7. Hope you your eyes peeled for the ghost!
Lisa
Oh no! No ghosts, but my mum always says she feels a prescence! I’m very dubious! (old synic!)

I read this nodding my head eagerly at every other sentence! I too ate my first ice cream of the year last week on holiday – I went for a walk along the harbour and stood, eating my blueberries and cream cone, watching the waves roll up the beach and back again. It was incredibly peaceful. Rowing sounds like great fun – I hope wherever I go to Uni they’ll have a rowing team so I can try my hand at it, it’s always appealed to me! Glad you finally found a butter dish too xx
Lisa
Thank you! I’ll post about it soon- only £3! Super! As for rowing, I love it!

OMG I’ve had sooo many ice creams already (we averaged about one a day on holiday – I blame the kids). Anyway, glad to see you’ve been having fun in the sun poppet.
PS Great to have you back!!
