My lovely daughter surprised me with this Cath Kidston book. at the weekend.  Well !  i was so over come with   joy,  i cried xxxxx.  It wasn't just the book, but her thoughtfullness, love and kindness she showed towards me. I have always taught my children to be kind and considerate towards others and they have not let me down.  
As my husband has always said....... IT'S NICE TO BE IMPORTANT, BUT ITS ALSO IMPORTANT TO BE NICE.......

These photos are just a sample of whats inside the book.

Thank you Becky ! I love you lots and lots and  I just LOVE my book.........xx

To Read or Not to Read, That is the question?

I expect some of you  lovely bloggers out there have heard about a trilogy of books that are the talk of the town at the moment. Well! i happened to see then in my local supermarket the other day and decided to buy them. 
As you can guess by now the books are 50 SHADES OF GREY by EL James. 
There has been several debates on the TV and in the newspapers about the contents of these books,  so being the inquisitive person i am i feel i need to read them. I THINK!!!!!! Well maybe just the first chapter then.
 I wonder how many of you out there have read these books or like me thinking about it. Love to here from you.

The day the torch came to Hatfield Peverel.

There was a lot of excitement in our village today. THE OLYMPIC TORCH came through.
Hatfield Peverel is a small village in the south east of England so it was very exciting when we heard that the Torch would be coming through.
Sadly the rain arrived, but it didn't dampen our day, we happily stood waiting for it to arrive under a sea of umbrellas. The photos are not my best, but hopefully the've capture the moment.

I would have liked to put more photos on, but blogger won't let me......
