We are really fortunate to have a major gallery open its doors at one of our less salubrious towns here in Kent. It was a chance remark and a quick Google that led us to the Turner Contemporary on Friday evening. We had been to Richborough but we started to get a little soggy so [...]
I was feeling a bit low yesterday afternoon as we’d had another day in which was fine but I was feeling a bit sad as I’d been reminded on Wednesday of my pretty exciting childhood where as a family we travelled a lot. As an adult, I certainly don’t have that opportunity as readily any [...]
I had to go to a meeting in Whitstable yesterday evening when I happened to hear that the grotters were being lit at dusk so very excitedly, we headed over for a look. This week, Whitstable is hosting the Oyster Festival for which it is so famous. In case you are wondering what grotters are, [...]
New yarn is few and far between these days due to the lack of full time job but when it does arrive at half price happiness it is quite an event Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind cutting back on yarn purchases as I do already have a sizeable stash and I am enjoying [...]
I was so tired today! It was definitely a day for resting. I managed to grab a little sofa nap in the afternoon so we were raring to go and see the final Harry Potter (at last! – we’d been wanting to go for a little while but with pao being ill…) Thankfully, I didn’t [...]

One of the fairs I was selling at yesterday was at Whitstable Castle. The last time we had been to the castle grounds was some time ago and the castle itself wasn’t open. I remember pao and I having to buy suncream and busily slathering it on in the castle gardens. It was only when [...]
Tamyra has always loved to steal and play with hairbands. You find them everywhere – in water bowls, in the bed, on the carpet but I’ve always been careful to get them back and hide them because I’m afraid she’ll swallow them and come to harm. This is what you get if your cat hides [...]
I’m so glad we’re coming to the end of this week – it feels like it has been so long. I was feeling very low this morning but have perked up now I’ve had a very serious offer of help tomorrow by the lovely Lady Chutney. I’m looking forward to a long day but I’m [...]
