Good morning.  Welcome to the blog.  Big apologies for being so late with Thursday’s post, various reasons that I won’t go into now have hindered publication.  So good to have you here, I’ve got lots to tell you about the weekend. You may recall I’ve been away for a long weekend to the Isle of Wight. Today I’ll share what I got up to with some photos thrown in too! On David’s 60th birthday celebration our good friends gave us both a present (we are both 60 this year). They’d booked a long weekend on the Isle of Wight the following weekend! I was shocked and immediately told t ..read more

Hello and welcome to my blog on Bank Holiday Monday.  It’s not really the weather we’re all expecting for the first BH of May. With wind and rain taking centre stage it’s been hard to get into the swing of the spring season let alone wear some lighter clothes!  I’m actually been away this weekend and am on my way home from the Isle of Wight now!  I’ll try a dedicated post with you to let you have a little insight as to what it’s like in this little island and what I got up to! It’s the first Monday of the new month so time to take a look at what I got up to ..read more

Good Morning.  How are you my friends? I’ve had a brilliant weekend and am excited for the next as I’m away with four friends and David to celebrate our 60th birthdays! We’re off to the Isle of Wright for a weekend of fun, exploring, eating, drinking and having a laugh! No change there then .. lol! ? We always have a super fun time when we get together and the weekend will fly bye making lots of super duper memories. I’ll obviously keep you posted and let you know what I’m up to on Instagram, but in case you don’t follow me on there, I’ll share a dedicated post on it soon! I’m needing t ..read more

Morning all.  Great to have you here.  How’s your week been? Another crazy one for me, I’ve had the run of family birthdays and it’s been non-stop! I’m going to take this one easy now, just so I’ve got enough energy for the next group which includes mine - did I mention it’s my big birthday in May? On Saturday evening we had around 70 friends join us for drinks and nibbles, I worried exactly how I’d fit so many people in the house and would loved to have invited more friends! The weather didn’t play fair - obviously, so everyone gathered indoors for a VERY tight fit celebration ..read more

Hello my friends. Hope your world is fun. Well what a week this is! You see I’m celebrating a few family birthdays this week with my daughter’s last Tuesday, my daughter-in-law’s today, David’s on Saturday (it’s a big one) and my son-in-law’s on Sunday! It’s been non-stop preparing for them all, and we’re having a few friends round on Saturday night to help celebrate David’s 60th. I’ll be looking forward to a quieter couple of weeks before mine, my granddaughter’s and my son’s!! Do you have birthdays at the same time of the year? Hectic and expensive isn’t it! As I'm a 'women of a certain ag ..read more

Welcome to the blog.  Good to have you here.  How’s life treating you? Hope you’re having a nice week my friends.  I’ve had a great weekend. Yesterday along with David I went to one of my favourite restaurants in Whitstable to celebrate 4 of our big birthdays this year me, David and two of our friends. We are all joining the 60 club and I have to say I’m not looking forward to it one bit!  Six of us had a table booked at Wheelers, it’s a fish restaurant that’s nestled in my quaint little local town of Whitstable that’s frequented by locals and the odd celebrity some of th ..read more

Hello and welcome to the blog. Hope you're week is going well. The weather has been pants here recently. It’s been so windy any photo opportunities have been well and truly scuppered!  I’ve got the run of birthdays starting next week so it’s going to be busy and rather expensive! David’s big birthday is the weekend after next and we’re having a few drinks & nibbles to celebrate it. Mine is 18 days after that and I hope to have friends round to help me get through it! Unlike me as I usually face everything full on but if I’m honest I’m not looking forward to this one at all, 60 seems ..read more

Good morning my friends.  Hope you’re all well.  I’ve been enjoying the warmer weather of late and it’s really starting to feel like Spring has arrived.  I even went out with bare legs and sandals at the weekend! Yeah I know get me! I finally got the meal booked for my mum’s Christmas present, five of us went to Reads again (see her celebrations here) and enjoyed an amazing meal in the beautiful surroundings. Sadly the whole business is up for sale and I know whoever buys it will probably change things making it very different for what I’m used to! It will definitely be an end ..read more

Dear friends, Thanks so much for joining me today. Been back to the gym this week and I have to say I feel so much better for going! I like to have what I call ‘nice aches’. Anyone else ache when they don’t got to the gym? I felt really awful and very achy having missed a couple of sessions last week and could wait to get back into classes. I also neglected to go dancing too. I just didn’t feel in the mood for ballroom on Friday and as ballet wasn’t on because of half term I’ve really been a lazy lady. My diet has also gone a bit haywire, with me eating more than I should be.  Happy to ..read more

Hi there, How are you? Another busy weekend that’s flown by! With two family birthdays and a day out yesterday it’s been a whirlwind. Anyone else having hectic weekends? Do you remember where I said I was going yesterday? I’ll be sharing a post all about the steam train on Thursday so hope you’ll pop back to read about it.  Today I thought I’d share another shopped from my wardrobe outfit which features a classic colour combination that is a favourite of mine.  Navy and tan - what’s not to love! There’s so many catchy colour combos aren’t there. Grey and yellow, black and whit ..read more
