Hi there Thanks for popping in. Had a good day so far? I spent the morning putting the finishing touches to the TV prep, in readiness for Sunday, then turned my attention to other things… Have decided to make a few adjustments to the way I do things. For example, doing a little light exercise. So I downloaded an app, to give me some structure. Then the diet. Have decided to take a closer look at what I eat, and…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Was just on my way up to bed, and it occurred to me that I had forgotten to write a blog. How remiss of me! Despite all my best intentions, I still haven’t managed to turn my routine around so as to blog first thing in the morning. Is it important ? Not really. The only reason I am popping in to say good evening on the way up the apples and pears, is…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Now those fine walking boots fit me – those what I sloshed around in to stretch em – we are trying to get out on the forest every day for a little walk. Little is the operative word mind! Between my dodgy lung capacity and Dave’s worn out ankles, we certainly won’t be signing up for any uphill hikes! But the Ashdown Forest really is quite something. The gorse, when the sun finds it,…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Proud Mum moment here. Grace has read yet another Audible book for Penguin Random House, which is being released tomorrow. The Title is “Her Lost Words”. It’s about Mary Shelley, the creator of Frankenstein, and her mother Mary Wollstonecraft. I pre-ordered it weeks ago, and cannot wait till it lands in my Audible library!! Gracie actually read and prepped this book in January this year, when she came home for her Grandad’s funeral, and…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. In a bid to switch off from work, and break the Nose-to-the-grindstone routine, I ventured out to my pottery studio this afternoon. I had started an Architectural sculpture course at the beginning of the year, but then things happened, and pottery got mothballed. Been missing from class pretty much the whole term. But the architectural project has been waiting patiently for me to find my mojo, and this afternoon it landed! It comprises layers….
Happy Saturday! Thanks for popping in. Crumpets and cheddar cheese for breakfast – and now I am one happy bunny! Sometimes you’ve just got to break out of those sensible granola pants, and eat what you like best! What’s the plan today friends? Have you got one? I’ve decided to eat what we’ve got in the freezer. Not all today mind! But having lost my way on the domestic front over the past few months, I thought it might be…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Just got in from 2 days in TV-land, and that’ll do!! Thanks you for watching and supporting; I hope you enjoyed the shows if you watched. Today was butterflies, birds and bunnies, with an egg or two thrown in for good measure. Brand new Butterfly stamps designed by Jazz and Lisa, to work with our 3D Butterfly & Stand die sets, but they also work without the dies Available in small and large, just…

Hi there Thanks for popping in. How ironic that we kicked off our return to the SHAC with a doodled heart, and this week’s Design of the Week is also a heart! Every Tuesday we launch a favourite Design of the Week with 30% off, plus club discount, to celebrate our 30th year in business. I drew this one many years ago, but it’s still makes me smile. It’s got something kind about it. We call it our Garden Heart……
Hi there Thanks for popping in. And thank you also for catching the No. 300 SHAC bus if you managed it this morning. Here’s the Youtube link if you want to catch up.. After almost 3 months it was certainly good to get the old bus back out of the depot and go for a little spin with all my fellow SHACKERS! I hope the speed was right, and we didn’t take off too fast. As I mentioned, we’ll be…
