Hello my lovelies, I'm just on my third cup of tea, watching (lovely) James Martin's Saturday Morning & thought I'd have a little catch up with you all. Apologies for being AWOL for a bit. To be honest, not a lot has happened recently, well nothing serious thank goodness & life has been pretty quiet...which is just how I like it! 

I know I've said it before but I'm loving the cooler temperatures that we've had this week- yes, I'm fully aware that I'm probably in the minority but that's just me. If it's chilly I can pop on a lovely cardigan & some fluffy socks or slippers- oh, & don't forget the hot chocolate!!

If I'm too hot I'm like a bear with a sore head...a very sweaty, grumpy bear!

The darker evenings also mean candles, fairy lights & general coziness...bliss...🥰🥰🥰

It's too hot.......& I don't like it.....

Apologies to those of you that embrace this weather with factor 15 & a Solero, it's just too much for the likes of me who, even with Factor 50 on will go as crispy as an air fryer chip! I've just never been a sun worshipper.

Just to clarify, I do sit in the sun (I'm not a vampire!) but I need a big parasol, hat, sunglasses & plenty of the aforementioned SPF & even then I can't sit out for too long- unless there's BBQ, I can always stick it out for BBQ! 😋🍔🌭🍗🥩

As I signed off last week you might remember that my bread machine was beeping at me...

There is nothing like the smell of freshly baked bread (cue Hovis ad music- 70's/80's kids will get it) & I regularly find myself trying to resist the urge to slice off the lovely crusty bit, smother it in butter & shove it in my face. Obviously I fail because I'm a normal person..
