We went to see Eels on Saturday night and it was awesome. E was rocking his big beard like only he can. Lee summed it up perfectly when he shouted in my ear “there’s nothing like watching your favourite band with your favourite person”.

The crowd were a weird bunch, they were still for most of the gig, even up at the front. We were dancing away despite being so hot were felt like we were melting! It was a great night from start to finish. I love my Lee, Lee.

I took some drunken pics at the train station on the way home. I was surprised to see they turned out OK.

I’m back to being a red head. It goes better with my temper!

The long awaited kitchen renovations are finally underway. We’ve knocked the dining room walls downs and ripped up the floors. It’s messy and the dust is everywhere. I’m trying to get past all this but the clean freak in me is weeping in a corner. It should all be finished within a month and it will all be worth it. I cant wait.

There is a window over the sink that looks out in to the conservatory, we toyed with the idea of boarding it up but it provides a lot of much needed light in the kitchen so we decided on glass blocks instead. I originally I wanted clear but then I saw these 60′s coloured blocks on evilbay. They are lovely quality and the colours are gorgeous. They were a bargain too at £110!

We had fun in our posh safari tent but I have to say it had many bad points. First of all it was infested with earwigs, hundreds of them. We couldn’t sleep because they were getting in to the beds! The wood burning stove was such a pain in the arse, it took so long to get going we had to wait about an hour to get our cup of tea in the morning. Not good at all. The other things that bugged me were the fact that nothing was provided. We had to buy loo roll and tea lights as well as a dishcloth and tea towel. I think for almost £600 those should have been provided.
That being said we had a great time. The location of the tent was fantastic. It was right on the beach and there were lots of animals around to make it extra fun. Daniel took great delight in collecting our eggs from the ducks and chickens every morning. The beach was very private and really good for body boarding.
I did take my camera but as usual I couldnt be bothered taking any pics! I got a few on the last day but they aren’t very good.

Sea stuff

Massive kettle!

Ruby just chillin on the porch.

for some reason only known by him, daniel has no trousers on.

It looked better before our junk was outside.

Kitchen

All in all it was a really relaxed holiday but I much prefer the camping we do usually. We have really nice stuff now and everything is just how we like it. We’re off to Bude in Cornwall next Sunday and I will try extra hard to take pics.

I am still alive and kicking and I have been making things, just not finishing them. I’ve been working on some jewelry and some blythe projects but I haven’t touched any knitting or crochet in weeks. I’ve just not been in the mood for it.

Our Glamping trip this weekend is going to be amazing and I bought a Kayak yesterday to take with us. I shall be wearing a wetsuit and enjoying some family time in the sea. I can’t wait. I will be sure to take lots of pic, not of me in a wetsuit though, that is just wrong.

We’re going here next weekend!!!

I’m still alive just very busy with random stuff.

Here’s a photo of a cute redhead to keep things ticking over.

Thought this deserved a post of its own.

We had fabulous weather and a really lovely time in Devon last week. Here are a few snaps in case you’re interested.



It was victorian week in Ilfracombe and I thought it was a bit creepy. Well a lot creepy, especially this lady with her lovely plastic child. I’m lurking in the background of this pic, can you see me?

Lil & Lee looking very surfery

Me looking very pleased with myself. I’d probably just done an undetected fart.
