Hi Val...it seems silly but I definitely had a tear in my eye seeing the change :(

That was a long break. I took photographs this weekend on a beautiful family hike in the woods as is our Thanksgiving tradition and I was reminded once again how time flies. That was then, 5 years ago, when I... Continue reading

Hi Sarita they were some kind of cork finish with cardboard on the top, if that makes sense?

Hi Inger - sorry I didn't actually crochet any of the doilies, they are all thrifted from charity shops!

We are making the most of a mild(ish) winter, skiing most weekends, including a visit to a new hill recently and its equally creepy and cute sentiers des toutous (teddy bear trail). We also took advantage of a sunny Saturday... Continue reading

We are lucky to have a public tennis court 100 yards from our house which is converted into an rink every winter. The swishing and swooshing of skates on the ice is one of my favourite sounds ever. Just magical!

I love hat knitting too! Do I spy a homemade ice rink there?

Good for you! Although I have to say running on the machine is wimping out a bit - I could probably run on the ice but it's nice to have options!

I'd rather run in the cold to be honest.(although preferably not at -14C) I find running in heat pretty unbearable, I turn purple and wheezy in hot weather when I run!

Bravo Lucy! Well done. I suffer from shin splints too - I found it better to run on the grass for a while (although there's none here a the moment). Once you get used to it you can start to gradually run on the road or pavement!

original image source unknown I'm keeping up with the running...although it's pretty icy here right now, so I am very grateful for our second hand running machine in the basement. I saw this today on pinterest - so true! Just... Continue reading

Peekaboo you! I've always thought I might make one of these one day but have been put off by teeny tiny hexes...how big are these?

Chalkboard paint is probably considered a "not" on a hot or not list of trends these days. It's one of those things that has been done to death and this project is no exception. But I had half a tin... Continue reading

I'm turning 40 this year and I'm suddenly feeling a bit middle aged. So I'm using a free C25K podcast to build myself up to running 5K again. Or should I say jogging. I'm not an athlete and I'm horribly... Continue reading

We've had a very mild winter so far with relatively little snow. That all changed this week with a snowstorm on Thursday and the children's first skiing lesson today. The temperature hovered around the -18C mark with a "feels like"... Continue reading

Hi Rachel - no craft shopping this time unforunately - although I did manage an hour in Anthropologie!

Oh no! Hope he feels better soon. Neither of my children have really vomitted, ever. Except while we were in NYC. We let Thomas drink fanta as a special treat one evening out and guess who threw up all over the hotel walls/bed etc that night? Not pretty!

No snow here! I can't believe it...we may not even get a white Christmas. Am happy to hear about Downtown Abbey - we've been watching it here too. I mash swede and mix it with potato as a topping for cottage pie. Yum!
