about

As I type I’ve hit 50 and can see it start to recede into the distance I’m now on my own, as I’m cat free, but still living my best life. I love to craft, photograph, read & watch TV. This is to be the place that makes me smile.

    I’ve started a cross-stitch project even though I’m not finished with the snowflake throw 😦 I was given the kit a while ago and it’s been asked after on a number of occasions so I’ve decided to do it and get it over with. Sometimes I get the impression that I might have to give…

  • A Taste Of Your Life

    I’ve watched this programme and I’ve often wondered what would mine be.

  • Dinner

    Last Friday was my mothers 60th Birthday and tonight we’re all having dinner out in my sisters new house. I have to admit I’m looking forward to it.  Her boyfriend (sisters) is going to be doing the cooking and rumour has it that he is rather good at it too.  I promise I’ll take pics…
