Girls trip - oh and a boys trip too!!!

I am off for the weekend to Torquay with my friend Yasmin!!

Our husbands are going over to France for the weekend to Caen for the D Day commemorations on the 6th of June!!

They are all travelling by scooter!!

This will be amusing - I'll let you know how many times they break down!!!

They have decided to camp and have chosen to pitch their tents on this great campsite!!

Have a great time guys!!!

Anyway back to Yas and I we are leaving early this morning and we are staying here



We are planning a totally relaxing girls weekend, eating, drinking and maybe shopping!!!

I hope you all have a great weekend too!!

Kindest wishes and love

Hubby's hobby!!!

Mr Angel has a hobby!!!

Nothing unusual about that, you might think!!

But Mr A's hobby takes up so much room!!!

He collects vintage motorbikes and scooters!!

He currently owns around 45!!

During a recent move to a more secure location: after he had two scooters stolen and one badly damaged, a few were parked on our drive, so I took full advantage and photographed them for you to see!!!

Luckily Mr A's our friend John - Yasmin's husband, restores scooters for a living so he and Mr A brought the damaged scooter back to life!!

Here are a few photos of some of his pretties for you to see!!

Now, they are not pretties as far as we are concerned, but for Mr A these are right up there with the best CK and vintage items that we all know and love!!!!

Kindest wishes and love

Good enough to eat swap!!

I recently too part in the 'Good enough to eat swap' host by two lovely ladies:
Claire of Are we nearly there yet? and Em of Em's shabby shack.

I was partnered with Louise from Handmade in Gibralta.

Louise is a wonderfully kind and very clever lady!!

She sent me a fantastic swap parcel!

Look.....


Louise made the beautiful apron with the cupcake motive, her friend made the gorgeous smelling soap, and the coffee was from her local shop, she also sent me a photo of the coffee being ground too!!!
She also included that very pretty cupcake photograph stand and the gorgeous angel - one of my favourte things!! There was also the scrummy sounding Louise's Carrot cake recipe!!

What can I say, thank you so much Louise for the thought that you put in to this lovely parcel!!

I love everything

Kindest wishes anf love
