{The Gallery} Week 25

by Liz on August 31, 2010

Tara at Sticky Fingers theme this week is: One Day in August

Over to Tara
“Just like the Blip journals, I want you all to take a photo on the same day – OOOOO! I’m trusting you to be honest here (as I often say to my children!) So, on Sunday, August 29 (Bank Holiday Sunday if you’re here in the UK) I want you to take a photo. Of anything, doesn’t matter, you just have to take it on that day.”

So here’s mine, taken on Sunday in Bury St Edmunds while we were shopping, just before a storm started, got soaked!

Where do you Blog?

by Liz on August 31, 2010

I thought this was quite cool, Centastional Girl is having a ‘where you blog’ party. Quite a lot of my favourite bloggers are in the US and they have the most fabulous blogging spaces, pretty desks, offices, all beautifully done out.  Umm me not so much.   I blog from the sofa, normally with a giant dog lying next to/on me  This is a picture taken from my Mac Book of me and my blogging pal.

This is the view from my blogging sofa:


I’m hoping that next year I’ll have somewhere more fabulous to show off.  I’m thinking blogging shed like my friend Karen over at the Rubbish Diet, it just gorgeous and I’m coveting it :)   Where do you blog?

Inspired Room’s Fall Nesting Party

24 August 2010

Inspired Room is one of my favourite blogs, Melissa who runs it is such a kind and generous blogger.  A long time ago when I was a blogging newbie I emailed her to ask some daft questions and she generously replied with great advice and we became blog friends. Her example is something I’ve tried [...]

Weekend Adventures

23 August 2010

We’ve had a good if a bit odd weekend. We had alarms going off down the road in the middle of the night due to the rain, which kept us up for ages!. However the highlight for me was getting Lily to eat something other than blessed jacket potato and cheese for a main meal.  [...]

22 August 2010

**First published in 2008 (wow that long ago!) but now updated** We have a tiny, old kitchen and it’s only now that I’ve accepted that it’s not getting any bigger that I’ve started getting excited about how to get the most from it. The kitchen has been the embarrassment of our home rather than the [...]

Nutella Day out at Legoland

21 August 2010

This is a *sponsored post* We were invited to a ‘fun and informative breakfast briefing ‘with Nutella at Legoland.  Now I’ve never really eaten Nutella, it wasn’t something my Mum ever bought when I was a kid. So I’ve never really had it in the cupboard at home, so I didn’t really know what it [...]
