Does anyone remember the ladybird books? The first pictures are from The Elves and the Shoemaker. I used to love reading this and the other books over and over again. I can still remember Cinderella and her three ball gowns. I thought the blue dress was the height of beauty and sophistication - oh dear! But still quite like the last white dress.

Best Christmas present ever - I’m obsessed with this

Dreaming of strawberry tarts, blue skies and warm seas - summer is just around the corner!

I sent some flowers to my dear friend for her birthday last week. Really pleased with them - King’s Mile Florist is really reliable and always turns out gorgeous bouquets - she’s doesn’t do social media but you can Google her phone number. She’s never let me down and even got my mum’s flowers to me when I was isolating with Covid! Thank you Carys and I hope your business continues to thrive!

Happy first day of Spring! 💐

When can we start eating Hot Cross Buns for holy reasons rather than greed reasons? 😃
