4 Cats and an awful lot of mess

Well Christmas has been and gone and the New Year is imminent, bring it on.  Christmas was lovely, quiet but one of the best ever. I did decorate the tree and even put some decorations up in the lounge, got these fab paper garlands and hanging things from Not on the high street The lounge still needs more to...

Well the countdown has begun and the BIG question in our house, do we decorate the tree or not? We don't have many Ch*****as decorations for around the house so the tree kind of looks a bit out of place on it's own all sparkly in an otherwise less sparkly room. With it just being MP and I we sometimes don't bother (unless...

Well winter is definitely on its way. The fire is lit, the heating is on and its still cold. Sam, Oscar, Harley, Travis and I are all competing to see who can get closest to the fire and I'm losing. In between the showers we have had a few dry days so some nice walks with Sam but in this weather it's time to do inside...

Some weeks ago I took part in an altered art CJ over on UKS hosted by Biskit (Vicki), having got mine back I am delighted and have been meaning to post photos for a while and now I finally am. I chose Love as my topic and rather than have them in a book (which I never know what to do with) I choose to have mine on loose...

Last weekend I took part in a blog hop for the 1st anniversary of C'est Magnifique kits. I love the work of Finnabair and she is their guest designer for this month. So from her blog I joined discovered the blog hop and all the fabulous designers they have on their team. One of my favourite websites was Beverly Sams and...

You may have noticed my blog has changed. I've been having problems for a few weeks, things missing off the side and posts going all funny. I tried posting on the blogspot forum for advice but non was forthcoming. After much swearing and fiddling I think I got to the bottom of it. Seems they changed blogspot some time...

As I mentioned previously I signed up for the Christy Tomlinson She Art class and have been having a whale of a time doing canvases. I couldn't post any pics earlier as one of my 'masterpieces' was a present for my pal KathB for her birthday. But as she has reached the grand old age of 44 I can now share my creation. So...

For our second day out we went to the spectacular Stonyhurst College. Nestled in the Trough of Bowland this private school has quite a history and includes in its former pupils Charles Laughton, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and MP's friend Phil. The former Jesuit college now opens for a few days a year to the public where...

Again, where does the time go? It doesn't seem five minutes since my last blog and now summer is nearly over. The house martins are having a final flurry over the house and it won't be long until they are off for warmer climates and it doesn't really feel as if we have had our summer yet. MP and I did manage to get a...

Well, it's been a horrible couple of months, lots of very wet walks with Sam and some severe flooding up here. We have been lucky, living on the top of a hill has its bonuses, the worst that has happened to us is the road to our house has been badly damaged, nothing a 4x4 won't cure. The houses in the bottom of the valley...
