Jubilee flag cakes, Cake stands and Flags

More jubilee fun was happening at home today as we tried out the 2 Tier cake stand and party food flags given to us by Lakeland to try out if your having a party with lots of food you need to show it off with some great party ware, and this cake stand is made of card so you wont need to do any washing up at the end of your party as this can just be wiped clean.

Aylesbury vale academy craft fair


Well today i was as the Food and craft fair at the Aylesbury vale academy, and i have to say the event was really well organised.  The academy filled two large halls and there was so many different choices of stalls to visit you could tell the organisers had really thought about the mix of crafts.

Beastie boys busting up some moves

Glee club UK Bedgrove

I have always been one of those girls that sings while doing my housework or in the car when i think people cant hear me.  I enjoy singing, i cant read music and i have no clue where i should sit in a choir.

Frankie and Benny's revisit


After our last experience Frankie and Benny's restaurant manager Laura and area manager Gary invited us back to dine with them again.  We were met by Laura who gave us a warm welcome and showed us to our seats and spoke to us about the night where we didn't have such a great experience, she explained that she hadn't been on that night and her staff were having one problem after another and it was just one of those nights.    Looking at this night things were totally different it was a Saturday night and loads more people were visiting and there was a lot of bustle about the restaurant.  You could see Laura was a brilliant manager and her staff were responsive to her and the team were like a well oiled machine.

More face painting

Mystery vanishing plants and seeds

We have a mystery in our garden at the moment and i wonder if any of you have had a similar thing happen. Our plants are disappearing from the garden at first i thought i was going mad as my second batch of peas and beans compleatly vanished, so i sowed more this time directly into the ground rather than into pots and after a few weeks nothing had appeared so i dug around and there was no evidence that i had planted any seeds so now a batch of plants and seeds have vanished for all my peas and beans. Last weekend i got to plant out my rather healthy looking courgette and broad bean plants they were bushey and green and i was really proud they have done so well. Today i went out and noticed that they had vanished roots and everything and there is no clue as to where they have gone. Even Sophie's sunflower plants that were 10 inches long have gone as well and we are hosting the sunflower challenge this year i dont know what we are going to do now with no flower or vegetable plants and no clue as to where they have all gone to?

Ali's New York trip




Ali has been away working in NewYork for the last two weeks the lucky bugger !  This has been some where we have both wanted to go to but have never got to and now we have Sophie it looks like a trip like this would be even further down the line to take.  But at least Ali has had the opportunity to visit the city that never sleeps and can sus it out if we all get to go one day.
