A Celebration or Two


Happy Monday to all you good people out there, I hope you had a wonderful weekend no matter where you were. I think I said last week that my birthday was last weekend and that celebrations were postponed until the 15th as people were away the Saturday before, and boy was it worth the wait as my beautiful bunch of girlfriends treated to me a lovely evening at a pop-up restaurant in Bath.

I started todays post with one of my favourite pictures of me and my pops as on Sunday of course it was Fathers Day and we had a family pub lunch to celebrate... don't you just love the 80's digital watch and sideburns?

So here are some pics courtesy of Ms. Workers of Saturday night fun at Hall & Woodhouse and Sam's Kitchen pop-up restaurant, where we dined on roasted plaice with samphire, lamb casserole, rhubarb and ginger fool and peach and basil compote, delicious. The menu was all locally sourced and put together by the chef on the day. We also had entertainment in the form of a singer/songwriter at the piano, unfortunately I can't remember her name but she was very good!


The gals are looking at this chandelier made from 1000 plastic bottles!

Happy New Year!


Yesterday was the Chinese New Year of the Snake and I spent it at the Bath Artisan Market where we had a Kung Fu display and a Lion Dance to entertain us. A fabulous day was had by all and it was great to meet up with so many lovely people. Thanks to everyone who came along.




The next market will be on March 10th, a Mothers Day special with tea and yummy things!

New Year, Old Traditions



Happy New Year! For the first day in weeks the rain has ceased and the sun is shining so I am taking that as a good omen for 2013. Let it be a bright year for everyone.
New Years Eve was spent with family and friends and we revived an old tradition to see out the old and bring in the new. Our family always dressed someone as Old Father Time to see off the old year and a child  dressed as the New Year Fairy to bring in the new, they would appear at midnight to start the obligatory party poppers and singing of Auld Lang Syne, and now the new generation of little ones have joined in.
Frighteningly in the old photo's at the age of 3 I appear to look exactly the same as I do now with my fringe cut back in!


 How did you celebrate and what traditions do you follow? xx
