<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">As the summer draws to a close I would like to dry the Hydrangea's that are in our garden but from previous years experience there is a knack to getting them looking lovely and not brown and forlorn as I seam to do. I have sought the advice of a florist friend who has imparted these wise words that I'll share with y'all:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><em>For the best results leave the flower head on the shrub until late summer. When the colours begin to change and the petals begin to crisp cut each stem to a good length, strip off the leaves and place in a vase with water. Top up the water occasionally, so that the petals keep their colour, and continue until the flower heads are completely dry.</em> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">So there you go folks, for anyone wishing to do the same, good luck :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Last weekend my daughter was invited to attend her boyfriends sisters wedding. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Humm, what <em><u>do</u></em> you give a bride and groom who you have never met before and rather embarrassingly don't even know their names?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span><br />

It's known as the Harvest Moon, a name given to the full moon that rises closest to the autumnal equinox. This year's equinox — the official start of autumn — is September 22. </span><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Why "harvest"? In the days before electric lights, farmers depended on bright moonlight to extend the workday beyond sunset. It was the only way they could gather their ripening crops in time for market. The full moon closest to the autumnal equinox became the Harvest Moon, and it was always a welcome sight.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I have coveted vintage Christmas tree baubles for years now (way before they were cool). To me they are made of such quality and this shows in the weight, finish and above all and most importantly the shine and sparkle. Annoyingly, they command a high price and will be snapped up at boot sales and listed on ebay for £30 upwards before you can tut and say "damn, I wanted those".</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Now, folks this is where the story takes a sad turn. My inside my head voice (who likes all things to be <em>really</em> clean) was not happy until years and years of dirt, grime and gunk had been washed away and removed so each bauble could sparkle and shine once again. NEVER, EVER do this!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">I have now realised that vintage dec's are hand painted and can not be cleaned. I found this out when I returned to find the decoration part of my bauble floating in warm water.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Sob, sob, sob.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New;">So, to cheer me up and also as a reward for all of this money saving I've been doing due to buying absolute bargains (my way of justification) I spent a very sophisticated day shopping with a friend this week.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">To step into a shop that has <em>brand new</em> things is a treat in itself (especially as I haven't been high street shopping for like yonks) but also to see the high end shops Winter displays was the best part. Ted Bakers was my fav hands down. Sadly, I didn't have a camera on me so was unable to take shots but they had a whole vintage vibe going on with a collection of 1970's lampshades on cords hanging down, dark wood 1950's mantle clocks and flock wall paper. It was a vision of beauty and for me, I hardly noticed the clothes as I was too busy ogling the décor. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">My husband has been lucky enough to have been given a constant supply of eggs over these last few weeks. We are given freshly laid chicken and bantem eggs and I never fail to get a warm glow when I see them in our kitchen. Free range eggs, all shapes, sizes and colours with the odd feather attached sums up 'countryside kitchen' perectly.</span></div>

I have my very own vintage beaut fully laundered and hanging up ready for the arrival of our colder Brit weather. I have the urge to adorn it with a mahousive vintage brooch, just like they had to back in the day. Any excuse to add a bit of bling! Back in the day <span style="font-size: x-small;">(1950's and 60's)</span>these coats were the height of fashion and every discerning lady would step out in one,</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">This week I have really noticed a definite change and Autumn is starting to make a subtle appearance. The nights have that distinctive chill to them and whilst out walking our dogs past 8.30pm I very quickly find myself engulfed in 'dusk'.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">I have spent a morning pottering around the garden removing summer pots that were adorned with Pansies, Lilly's and other Summer flora but that now contain wilted and forlorn looking shadows of their former selves.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Something that I <strong>love</strong> about living in the UK is our seasons. In hot countries there are no distinctive seasons, however we have obvious (and anything but subtle) changes within one year. We can not fail to miss Mother Nature's clever handy work and still to this day we celebrate her efforts with Harvest Festivals and such like. Although sometimes Summer can feel like a very short Season and Winter a very long one, I for one would miss them with all my heart if they ceased to exist ...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">with Autumn being my absolute favourite.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">This week I have been appreciative and thankful of the kindness and generosity of the lovely people I have in my life, especially one who is migrating for winter.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">This person has made such an impact to our lives in such a short space of time, especially to our daughter and I am so thankful for this and count ourselves lucky that our paths crossed and she classes us as her friends.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Whilst preparing for her migration she has been incredibly generous by giving our daughter a tonne of art supplies ... how do you show your appreciation to someone who is preparing to leave the country with as little as possible? What could I possibly do / buy to show our gratitude? Write a letter? My daughter to put her heart and soul into a drawing for her? ???</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Huzzah for new experiences :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">My friend and I got up with the Lark on Monday morning and drove to <a href="http://www.iacf.co.uk/newbury/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #c27ba0;">Newbury Antiques & collectors fair</span></a></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">This is the first time either of us have been and we weren't sure what to expect?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">We arrived as they were still setting up and not sure if this was a good thing or bad? Yay for being there as the stall holders delights were being unpacked therefore getting first pick ~ embarrassing at 'hanging around' like those pesky traders at a car boot sale!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Anyways, no one seemed to mind and as it was quiet stall holders were really happy to chat and we learnt so much from them and about their particular field of interest in that first hour, fascinating.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">We started off looking around the stalls inside (only because we didn't know where else we had to go) and all too quickly we were drawn in and were completely absorbed in the wide variety of stalls, collectors and antiques Newbury had to offer.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">From the most beautiful fabric, lace, trimmings, buttons and all things haberdashery ...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><em>Saving the planet and feeling passionate about preserving
vintage:<o:p></o:p></em></span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">
</span><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Recently I have been struck by how, as a society we have
really got behind the ethos of recycling, seeing the positive in second hand
and helping to reduce the tonnes and tonnes of discarded items clogging up
landfill and our environment. This has got to be a positive move and I’m sooo
hoping it’s not mostly down to a trend or phase, the word ‘vintage’ can earn
you a whole stack of ‘trend setter points’ at the mo.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m hoping that shopping for trendy, unique,
one off vintage pieces has fuelled a fire that some of us have had burning
within since birth. For some people they seem to have been born with an extra chromosome,
I think it’s commonly known in the medical world as the ‘scavenger’ chromosome!!
I have this running through my veins. Long before the welcomed days of
awareness of where our waste actually goes and back in the 70’s and 80’s when I
was just a lil titch I would follow my Dad around scrap yards, junk shops, and
pop-up tips in woodland and old quarry sites looking for treasures. When I
thought I may have found a treasure I would rush to show my Granddad who
dabbled in the antiques trade. The thrill of the chase has remained with me and
still to this day I am wired to seek out treasure from days past, the
pre-loved, made to last artefacts from our past. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">
</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">For me the journey has just began when a treasure has been
found, I am then concerned with making sure this treasure is appreciated and
will keep on giving its owners immense joy for years and years to come.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">This 1950’s (?) shawl is an example of my ‘scavenger gene’ in
action. Thankfully I was in the right place at the right time and happened to
notice that it was on the verge of being sent to the rag trade because it had
several small holes in and the tassels were completely tangled and knotted up.
That fire within me roared and sent me into action, I rescued the shawl from
the black bin bag and made a donation to the charity that had been given it. I
then lovingly cleaned and repaired it until it looked as good as the day it was
bought. I was then faced with the task of seeking out someone who would
appreciate this vintage shawl and see its full potential ~ I have decided a
vintage clothes seller will be most best option and so I will be taking it to
the Newbury Antiques Fair to seek out a trades person who will continue with this
rescue mission and who can pass it on to someone who takes this special piece
of clothing home and loves it just like the lady did who chose it back in the
very beginning of its life over 60 years ago.</span> </span></div>

which was located in the middle of nowhere = heaven. They have been ‘wild

them so as soon as we could we headed straight to their field in the middle of

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">They are wild camping pros and much prefer this type of
camping (as appose to setting up on a site that has facilities such as
electric, washing up stations, lights, shop, etc.). There were other wild
campers there too and I was keen to know from their experience why they
preferred this camping experience to the more commercial one. This is typed
word for word what they told me (controversial but an honest opinion from a camper
with over 20 years’ experience): so here goes ...<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">
</span><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><em>This is how camping used to be, slowly over the years it’s
got dressed up by the middle classes which has bumped the prices up and spoilt
it for the true campers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Due to this
it’s harder and harder to find genuine camping sites.</em></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><em>For a week away wild camping is true escapism, laid back and
relaxed, there are no rules. We live day by day to rules, wild camping there
are no rules. There are no pitch numbers, no designated bays and you CAN play
music, chat until past 10pm, forage for wood and build campfires, this is how
camping should be as appose to over commercialised camping where people go to a
site that’s like home from home, sit in their caravan and watch TV. There is no
interaction on these sites, no community, no spirit.<o:p></o:p></em></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><em>
</em></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I for one can really see the appeal, its back to basics and
a total detox. Away from technology, distractions and anything remotely
resembling modern day life. It’s just you, a field, a chemical toilet and a hut
with a shower heated by a gas bottle. Who
needs a desert island when you have wild camping??</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Now how to put it up?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">As we cant drill any holes, urm?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Just buy some net curtain wire ~ easy.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Phah ... not!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">This stuff is sold for a minimum of £4.99 for 1.5 meters ~ I'm not paying that, that's daylight robbery!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">After wasting too much time looking for a 'cut to length' supplier I had almost given up and wished I'd have just spent the £5.00 and been done with it. Then, a friend suggest a small local and independent DIY store that has been owned by the same family for generations.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Oh my word ~ they sold anything and EVERYTHING.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Hallelujah ~ joy of all joys ~ thank the lord ~ yippee :)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">So I bought net curtain wire cut to length for 75p in total</span> ...</div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Not something you'll usually find me blogging about folks but this</span><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> week I clapped eyes on the most beautiful dress known to man. As fashion isn't usually top of my agenda if something catches my eye then it <em>must</em> be love!! It was one of those dreamy eyed, sharp intake of breath moments ~ ahhhhhhh. Suddenly, I went into panic mode and thought that other shoppers<em> must</em> have had the exact same thought and were going to swoop and take this beauty from me. There was nothing else for it, I came over all panic stricken and behaved like the place was on fire and totally un-necessary until I had the dress in my mitts. I then looked around to see if anyone was watching my sudden attack of the loons ~ yep, everyone was!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Still, with my 'cat that got the cream' swagger I bought said dress whilst containing my utter joy. </span><br />

Last year we (along with many others) didn't have any apples grow as a result of such a poor summer. I use the word summer loosely, to be fair it was <u>nothing</u> like a summer at all!! We have a Cider press on standby and a friend who is a whizz at all things chutney so bring on all apple related goodies. Nom, yum, slurp!</span></div>

We have lovingly watered this lil bush and watched as it withered in this blistering heat we're having. To see a delicate pale pink rose bloom makes all of that early morning and late night watering (mostly in my jamas or my husband stood there in his underwear) all worth while.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">This stuff is the bees knees and I only wish I had plucked up the courage to use it as a fabric softener sooner. I have known about it's magical washing powers for several years now but didn't believe that such a smelly thing like vinegar could really be used for washing clothes.

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Virtual Heaven!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">A place inside your computer that sells the most divine things.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">These are just soooooo uber super dooper cool. A friend pointed out to me that the subject matter on the bowls is rather dark ~ to be honest I hadn't noticed, I just thought they were pretty glass bowls with vintage tattoos etched on ~ ooops. Still, the dark side, evil and cults aside these are still super lush (to me)!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I bought this beaut for £3.00 at a table top sale, not having a clue I might add of its provenance. I just loved it's very classic lines and style. No more letting my son use it in the paddling pool to scoop out flies!!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Whilst on the subject of buying something because you love it ~ lady luck has been on my side as I've come up trumps again ~ hurrah!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Last weekend I attended my most fav auction with my lovely and very dear friend. Very annoyingly it was packed with people (like more than ever before) all looking for a bargain. "No, people! Go out and enjoy this very un-British glorious Summer we're having and leave the bargains all for us". No such luck (I think they were all there in the hope of a free air conditioned room and a comfortable seat for the day). Grrr, these<em> people</em> (tut) put the prices of almost everything up along with a scowl on my face. Part way through the day and my friend and I had been out bid on everything ~ not only new people but new people with money, damn!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">As the pictures started to be auctioned off I did the whole "please let me win my most fav thing in all of the sale, I won't be greedy and want for anything else, I really, really love this one thing, like this much (virtual arms stretched to the max).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">My plea was answered and as the bidding war began I adopted a stern and determined face (whilst inside thinking Eeek, blimey I'm already over my limit but I am <strong>not</strong> giving up) and my rival finally admitted defeat. I have to confess pure happiness quickly turned to that panicky feeling that churns around in your tummy as I realised how much I had paid. Oh dear! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Still, here is my most beautiful piece of art ...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">It's a watercolour and a glorious one at that.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">My friend, slightly amazed at my determination she'd just witnessed suggested we do some research on the artist. I don't do research! I Google and if the answer doesn't come up in the first three lines then search over, I'm done, no info to be found.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Thankfully, she text me the answer that my impatience was unable find ...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">This artist is well known and in 1998 one of her watercolours fetched £552.00 at Christies.</span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">OMG!!! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">What a strike of luck!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">I then enthusiastically headed off to Bonham's auction house to get a true and current valuation. It's worth between £200 - £300 in today's market ~ Eek. Just goes to show folks, you never know what you might pick up at an auction.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">The thing is I truly love this painting and will never, ever part with it. I bought it because I think it is beautiful and the fact it's worth money is just a happy bonus for me.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Not wishing to brag ... but I also bought an original watercolour that no one wanted (not even the new people) because the guilt frame was damaged. In the interest of shabby chic and trying to embrace the beauty in imperfection as we're all told to do I snapped it up for £6.00. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I have since found out that the artist, Lillian Canning exhibited at The Royal Academy between 1917 - 1936.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">We had planned to introduce another colour to the walls but after trying almost every colour known to a tester paint pot we just became more and more confused.

I have fallen in love and sooooo desperately wanna go inside for a cuppa tea and chat with the owner ~ I bet they are very interesting folk. I wonder what it's like inside? </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New;">This is a dull topic but as it's been at the forefront of my mind for many a week now I wanted to share with you where my journey is currently at with 'buying local'.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">As the weeks go by I have been on a mission to buy healthy (organic if poss), local sourced food. This, let me tell you is no mean feat when you are used to buying everything all under one roof (i.e. large but dull supermarket)and you live in the middle of nowhere. Still, undeterred I have persevered with my quest and this is what I managed to purchase this week from within a 3 mile radius of home. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New;">In a nutshell this is where I am currently with my pursuit:</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">1) Most stuff is much more expensive than the supermarket (sometimes double).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">2) It is almost impossible to purchase a weeks supply locally. For example dish washer tablets cost a fortune in the local convenience stores by us where as in a large supermarket in town it's so much better value.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">3) You need a constant supply of cash to pop here and there to buy stuff. Most small independent places open odd hours so you can only go on certain days/hours. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">4) Finding picked fresh, local fruit to fill a fruit bowl is like trying to find hens teeth. Impossible!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">5) It is a military operation that can take over each day trying to plan where and when to buy a weeks supply of food. Mondays I can buy veg from the guy with an Orchard but he's away on holiday for two weeks so will have to find somewhere else until he's home. Tuesday the farm shop is usually out of milk, Wednesday is a good day to buy dairy from them, etc, etc. Our fridge has never got all of the basic food stuffs in ~ Quiet frankly this m</span><span style="font-family: Courier New;">akes my brain ache!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">6) I have started to make my own hedgerow cordial, I'm damned if I'm spending over 3 quid a bottle on organic squash! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">7) I<em> <u>will</u></em> persevere with it until I find a manageable and affordable balance to feed my family fresh, healthy, locally sourced food.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Amen.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> Well, with every day that goes by I am gradually filling it with more and more of the villagers floral overhang!!

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">So this week I made the most of an offer in a local store and purchased a book that has been on my wish list for like ever. I was waiting for my birthday (thank goodness for presents on your birthday, who ever thought of that idea was genius. It makes you look forward to getting even older) but when I saw what a bargain it was I snapped it up. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Firstly ... yay for this week and yay for me winning a competition ~ whoop whoop, hop, skip and jump!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I totally love reading </span><a href="http://blog.lobsterandswan.com/2013/06/go-make-magical-magnets/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Lobster and Swan</span></a> <span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">blog. It's one of my fav's and I love hankering down with a cuppa and devour every word and beautiful photo published on each post. </span><span style="font-family: Courier New;">When a 'giveaway' was announced and that the prize was to have your instagram photos made into magnets by an ace company <a href="https://stickygram.com/" target="_blank">Stickygram</a> I was soooooo excited. This competition was made for me, it's right up my street. I entered and did that whole thing of chanting "oh please, please, please let me win, I'll be <em>really</em> good forever, I don't win <em>anything</em>, please let me win this"</span></div>
<div align="center">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Someone was listening .... I WON!!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">My husband has gone all practical on me and has expressed concerns over the fact we are rapidly running out of space on the patio. "Space for what" I asked shocked and wounded. "To walk around" was his reply. Hump ... walking around on patios is sooooo over rated anyways now'a'days!!!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">After much persuasion I have decided to dip my toe in the water and have a go at selling my photos. Well, <em><strong>a</strong></em> photo to be more precise. I am terrible at self promotion and 'putting myself out there'. Blogging can make me <em>really</em> embarrassed at times, especially when a large group of friends start to discuss my posts. Eek! Hands over the ears, deep breath and "la la la la la" time. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">So ... to sell a photograph I have taken doesn't sit naturally with me but ... in the interest of taking advice from a friend I am willing to give it a go. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">The thing is I'm personally not a big fan of canvases and sometimes photos of landscapes, etc behind glass can look a bit 'flat' (if you get what I mean). My most fav way to present a photo is onto acrylic. It's a modern, clean lined, chunky, different way to show a photograph and once on a wall it can look stunning. This is the route I have decided to take, however as it is one of the most expensive I have only had one made up. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">I've now found myself in that whole pricing maze of wanting to present something at its very best but then not being in a position to sell it at an easily affordable price. Grrrr! Anyways, if it doesn't sell I won't be sad because that means I can keep it all for my very self ;)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> So, as I start to type this weeks post I am doing so sat in the garden listening to the birds chirp away with the sun bearing down ~ utter bliss. This quintessential English summer's day has been building all week with hazy, muggy days at the start of the week. I know only too well that today is the pinnacle of the week weather wise and that tomorrow rain and thunder storms are forecast ~ urgh!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">So, as I sit here catching rays I'm surrounded by the scent of pretty flowers that have started to take root and flourish. Our hard work during the last 3 months is starting to really show now and we are being rewarded with pretty leaves and petals everywhere. My fav of all the flowers that are growing? Sweet peas! The scent they give is beautiful.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New;">This weekend just gone I discovered a new auction ~ yay for me and yay for auctions. It's local, like nearer than any of the others I have been to. How did this escape my notice? How has this never bleeped up on my bargain radar? For some bizarre reason (that probably stems from my husband telling me porkies to try and put me off) I thought this particular auction sold agricultural things only.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">So ... this week I have been obsessing over a beautiful thing. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I have obsessed over how I can ever possibly own such gorgeousness?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> (Hmmm: win the lottery = highly unlikely, back a winning horse = again highly unlikely, sell an organ = hmmm possible?)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">I fear I may never get to own the beautiful thing but I will continue to dream, plot and look into donating a spare body part.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Here is said most beautiful, perfect art work that has made my brain fall in love with it and feel oh so very happy ...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New;">We have been planning to redecorate our bedroom for a while now (well, probably nearly two years. A while easily kinda turns into <em>years). </em>Thing is, we need to strip our old wallpaper off ~ that's why getting started is taking a <em>while</em>!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">My week in a nutshell: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Yay buy, OMG I've just bought, eeek quick sell, sell, sell! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> My friend and I went to a super posh auction just to look (yeh, that ol' chestnut) and in a moment of madness/weakness bid and bought. Up shot of this being, I came home with tail between legs then had to roll up at silly o'clock last Sunday morn to a car boot sale to sell things to make money to pay for my frivolous purchase. That, my friends is about the long and short of it!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"><em><u>It all began at a posh auction:</u></em> so I took a day off work to attend a 'selected sale' at a Cotswold auction house, one my friend and I have never been to before. They were selling 'selected items', aka posh and a cut above the normal. The aim of such a jaunt? To see what is quality and how much it sells for then try to find the same disguised as tat in a general auction, buy for peanuts and feel very pleased with ourselves. Reality? Sit agog at the prices things fetched while repeating "I wouldn't even buy that for pence at a car boot sale let alone pay hundreds for it" and "who are these people buying these things, are they mad"?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">"Yes, that will be £12.00 ~ they are £6.00 each"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">W.H.A.T !!! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">And finally, an Asiatic pheasant meat platter from the 1800's. Heaven! This design is the only thing I actively collect. I spotted this beaut from a far and swooped it up like a shot. The lovely chap selling it said "that's old that is, it was my Grandmothers mothers and I remember it from when I was a child". I told him that it will be cherished and will join my collection. We both parted smiling :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I have become <em>totally</em> garden obsessed of late. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Everything to do with plants, flowers, pots, being creative and spending time in the garden is making me happy :)</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">This is a new phenomenon. May be I've finally grown up and become a proper adult? Anyways, in order to make our garden a more inviting space A LOT of time and hard work has been spent during these last few weeks but the reward is sooooo satisfying. It now feels like we have added another room to our house, the one outside.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><strong>Before:</strong> Now, I know from afar this may look fine (especially to an untrained eye such as mine) but most of the plants were dead or disease ridden and what had managed to live needed splitting and stuff?? doing to.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Now we are well into the month of May car boot sales are in full swing across the land. Yay and thank goodness for that! With the extra long cold winter we've had the few booties that have continued through out the year have been deserted and the ones that started in Spring haven't really sprung. Bring on the milder, drier weather and other peoples tat, that's what I say!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Here lies the problem!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">My husband, and the keeper of sanity in our home was ready for this years season of booties and when I came home from my first trip of this year and wandered through the door with my plastic bag of goodies he sprang out of no where and administered the surprise technique (that gets me every time). "Lets see what you've bought"? "Did you stick to the list"? "OMG, how much stuff have you got in those bags"? were some of the questions fired at me. Ahhh, what list, damn I told him I'd written a list of necessities, grrr where can I hide the new smoothie maker, quick, eeeek ~ was what was running through my mind. Damn. He was on it ~ the new season of booties and a bargain obsessed wife! He was not gonna take this matter lightly!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">So, the upshot of it is I have been allocated £5.00 a week out of the monthly budget to spend on 'second hand stuff'. Main reason being, my two bags of bits and bobs contained the most random selection of other people second hand cast offs imaginable from a juicer to a Buddha to a coat. Even more stuff to find space for in our stuffed to bulging home. My husbands rationale for this £5.00 budget is that it will keep the volume of stuff down to a minimum, meaning that come the end of Summer he won't have a garage and shed full of my bootie bargains. Very wise. This was what part of the garage looked like last year ...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">However with that said the juicer has been juicing non stop since bringing it home. The lovely lady sold it me for £3.00, cheaper than buying a bottle of squash fruit, and we have spun to a pulp all manner of fruit and veg. Carrot and apple, apple and mango and banana and almonds are our favs so far. My son however is more interested in pilfering various items from our fridge and giving them a quick whizz just for the satisfaction of mushing something up. The amount of food that has lost a side, slice of sprig this week is mind boggling!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span><br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Also, my lovely Buddha sits happily in our kitchen window. If anything he is a reminder to start that diet I keep meaning to be on! The lady I bought it from said that he meant something and if I rubbed his tummy then that 'something' (she'd forgotten what kind of luck this one brought)would come my way. I wandered off clutching him hoping and praying I hadn't just bought the Buddha that brings fertility to its owner!!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span> <em><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">The current climate is not good for our boot sales:</span></em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I have already noticed this year that the common or garden boot sale is not the same as in previous years. As this blooming recession drags itself into get another year people are looking for:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Ways to bring more money into the home.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Ways to save spending more money.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">These two put together around a field, open car boots and trestle tables makes for stalemate throughout West Oxfordshire.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Sellers need a decent price for their things and buyers are looking for a real bargain. Lots of sellers, lots or buyers but of late hardly any money changing hands. This will very soon result in sellers deciding that the £8.00 pitch fee just isn't worth paying when they are left with £15 odd pounds for all of their time and effort and a boot load of stuff to take home again. </span><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Such a shame if this does happen to our booties. I must make a sign saying "save our boot sales" and go about waving it in an angrily!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I'm really pleased with it. When your sat in a large British Legion hall surrounded by over 500 lots for sale you can start to doubt your judgement on ...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><u>Size</u>: Everything looks small in such a big room.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><u>Condition</u>: It's possible but very tricky to start picking things up, turning them over and inspecting their every detail before the sale begins, especially large items. What you think is in OK nick can hide some nasties once the hammer is down and the thing is yours</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> (I can't begin to tell you how many times I've been caught out on this one).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"><u>Really liking it</u>: It can be love at first sight but when it's being held up by the porter and bidding is well underway that nagging doubt sneaks in, did I like it? Do I like it? Why did I mark it in the catalogue? Eeek hammers almost down am I gonna bid?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Art.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">I have had art on my mind this week. My daughter would like to pursue her dream career in which art is the main focus, in order to do so I have been trying to help her work towards being in a position to build a portfolio and obtain an apprenticeship for when she leaves school. This is the start of a very long journey for her and I want to ensure she has excellent foundations on which to start building her dream upon. Part of this entails having one to one lessons with a fantastic and talented artist who will teach her the fundamental basic skills of art. The first lesson was this week and they studied perspective. With so much talk of art flowing through our house of late I have started to <em>really</em> notice the art we have dotted around our home. I have gradually added pictures to our wall as and when I've come across them or have been drawn but it has never struck me how much art is a big part our of home until now. I have just wandered around a few rooms and taken a few snaps to show you what I mean ...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">A drawing I did for my daughter as a birthday present for her 8th birthday. I wanted to demonstrate to her that drawing something that is special and of meaning to the recipient is one of the most thoughtful and meaningful presents anyone can give and part of you remains within that piece of art for ever. Little did I know this one, single drawing now symbolises her chosen path in life.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">and finally I have taken these pics of drawings scattered under books and hair products in my daughters bedroom ~ practise drawings as she calls them and ones she draws whilst on car journeys. She wouldn't thank me for showing these as they are not her fav's but the drawings she classes as her better ones and the ones she takes her time over are in her new portfolio.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Art exhibitions are always a fav too, I love to spend the day with my fab friend Tina trawling the Tate Modern and V&A, etc. We have been to countless art exhibitions over the years and my personal favs have been Tracey Emin's and Francis Bacon's as the most memorable. Their life is expressed in their art like no other I have seen.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">For the prettiest my daughter and I chose these two and I have to say I was rather tempted with the glittery star spokey dokeys. There was a moment when I did actually wonder if I could get away with putting them on my bike? Anyways, they were overlooked for Hello Kitty plasters instead!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New;">With all of the strong winds we've had the end of this week I came across a sight that made me feel really sad on Friday. It was the most beautiful, perfect, snugly teeny tiny nest laid in the road along a lane in our village.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"> I was immediately filled with sadness, this work of art lovingly and expertly created with a view to housing an impending family had been ripped out and lay broken on a road. Before a car came along and ground it into the tarmac I scooped it up and looked to see where it could have possibly come from. A needle in a hedgestack! I decided to bring it home ~ this still racks me with guilt.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">It is such a beautiful lil thing and the attention to detail making a snugly feather lined interior melts my heart. I feel so, so sorry for the lovely owners of this tiny bundle of perfection and I really hope some good has come of them being made homeless. There have not been any eggs inside and hopefully they will re-build another gorgeous home but in a more secure location in which to raise their lil family.</span> </div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New;">This weekend saw a sale at our fav auction house. My friend and I were <em>very</em> restrained and came away with one purchase each. I have to say I am slightly envious of my friends purchase ~ a pair of framed 1700's ornithological hand coloured engravings. Subtle, muted colours with that 'genuine, authentic aged to perfection look'. My purchase wasn't too shabby though, a black and gilded framed mirror circa 1800's. The frame is original but the mirror inside is modern, with a price defo not to be sniffed at ~ £23.80 ~ who is worried, not me!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">This week I have been garden obsessed!

<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Last week I had made a start and by the end of the week my tiny lil patch of prettiness looked like this ...</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCOFaTuYNWUNFTWwumrVsd-uMcmd9qB45BeJ4x4JUEekVoINEQy851KxpxP6nSHxwFYiK9HVeqPQMU687VMeN1eEToxW8qagUOc0IbOWHrnmz884_6GTs5kE62WFaOdC87K0FIBJEsUxs/s1600/blenheim+fair+017.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCOFaTuYNWUNFTWwumrVsd-uMcmd9qB45BeJ4x4JUEekVoINEQy851KxpxP6nSHxwFYiK9HVeqPQMU687VMeN1eEToxW8qagUOc0IbOWHrnmz884_6GTs5kE62WFaOdC87K0FIBJEsUxs/s320/blenheim+fair+017.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Well, that was until the Garden Trading warehouse sale came along. Eeeek, an 'oh so very exciting' and most welcome event ~ !</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">I went along armed with a wish list of things I hoped would be there going cheapy cheap along with good intentions not to stray off said list. I was first in the que and felt virtuous as the line of people got longer and longer. I strained to see what bargains had been put out ready to be snapped up and reminded myself over and over 'stick to the list, oh a cake tin, nope just stick to the list, oh a ..... noooo, <em>stick to the list</em>".</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Finally 10am came and a poor young chap with trepidation and fear in his eyes was sent to open the gate, as soon as the key turned we all surged forward.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">I entered the yard with a fast walk but quickly broke into a full scale legit when I saw others behind start to overtake me. I hadn't waited for an age with no coffee and bad hair for nothing! I accosted the same poor chap who had just opened the gate and who was running even faster than us but for different reasons, and shouted "excuse me, please can you put sold stickers on this, that, that over there, this here and oh that too". Poor thing! This was clearly a great call though as my 'omg, it's here reduced and it's on the list' items were secured and I was the first to pay, get loaded up and leave. I drove off with a large smile and stuff clattering away in the boot.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">So, what bargains did I bag?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">These my friends, and what some beauts ...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Not one but <strong>two</strong> of these lovely Bistro sets. Yay! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">These were top of my list and I really didn't think I'd be lucky enough to get one so to get two was a highlight and a possible warehouse sale personal best for me?!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">This week a friend and I had two free invitations to attend The Cotswolds Art & Antiques Dealers' Association Fair at Blenheim Palace. For two girlie's who are familiar with what is typically for sale at a general auction, this was the dizzy heights of the antiques and art world at it's best. The elite. So much so that a furniture expert who appears on the antiques roadshow amongst other things was there to buy. We were both like a couple of sponges absorbing up all of the wonders before our very eyes, like what is popular at the mo, prices, display ideas ~ we were in our element. Taking photos was a big no no but I was allowed to take this single snap</span></div>

We are used to seeing sad, forlorn things in need of tlc waiting for a trained, eager eye to see their potential and bring them back to life.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New;">I have been making a start on beautifying our garden this week. To be honest I don't really know where to begin? I have so many different ideas and styles that I can't work out which one I want to go with? I got fed up with being confused and have made a start with what I already have and hope the rest just falls into place.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">I've been a bit of a home bird this week and have busied myself tending to all of the things that I've neglected while over these last busy couple of weeks. (Cleaning the house, sorting out a mountain of post, cleaning the caravan, emptying and cleaning the summer shed and all of it's contents, washing, washing, washing, just way too much <strong>blah</strong> with a<strong> meh</strong> thrown in for good measure). </span><span style="font-family: Courier New;">I feel much better for catching up with my list of dullness and although my days off work have been full of dull atleast I feel like a proper housewife!!</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Apparently the best place to buy them is NotWallpaper and this is what their etsy page says "our patterned paint rollers help you create a beautiful stencil like design on walls, wood, furniture, fabric, paper and more! We discovered the original rollers at an antiques shop in Kennebunkport Maine and wanted to re-create a forgotten decorating technique. Paint directly on walls in your choice of color paint! Get a beautiful wallpapered look with the ease of paint!"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"><br />Hum, I'm just not sure about the practicality of using one of these? You would need to have a very steady hand to match the patterns up, have even paint distribution which is hard with a roller as once loaded with paint the effect will start darker and turn lighter with each turn of the roller. May be that's the appeal of it? May be its an effect that is not suppose to look perfect and the whole point of it is to have a hand painted unique finish as appose to the perfect pattern repeat and colours of wallpaper?<br />
<br />
I'd be really interested to use one and see the effect they create and I like the idea of using it to make pretty wrapping paper or on garden furniture.<br />

We visited <a href="http://www.rollrightstones.co.uk/index.php" target="_blank">The Rollright Stones</a> this week, a ancient mystical and fascinating place that we are very lucky to have just within the borders of West Oxfordshire.<br />

The main reason for our visit to was to see the wooden sculpture of a Witch created by environmental artist <a href="http://www.davidgosling.com/" target="_blank"><em>David Gosling</em></a>. It was erected in 2012 and was inspired by the well known legend of the Rollright Witch (in brief the mother Witch of Witchwood turned the King into the King Stone, his men the King’s Men Stone Circle, and his treacherous and conniving knights the Whispering Knights, although some say that the knights were actually at prayer. The Witch then transformed herself into an elder tree, which some say is still standing guard over the site today). This sculpture is not made as a permanent feature as it will deteriorate over time due to being made of dead wood that is held together with wire so we were grateful for a dry and mild day to go and visit.</div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Long Compton village lies just below the stones and, even to this day it is believed to have the highest concentration of Witches living there due to its geometric alignment for perfect ley-lines which are believed to generate energy. </span></div>

It has to be said that the stones and the area they sit in hold some amazing secrets and foresight into the way our ancestors read and worshipped the land.</div>

I ushered it to a safe place near to where I think it fell and have kept my fingers crossed that it's been able to clamber back home. The poor birds are having a real hard time of it what with snow, severe prolonged cold snaps then high winds for most of this week. They need all the help they can get at the mo.</div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New;">So this week my husband and I celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary. Following on from my recent obsession with The Rollright Stones and Ley Lines (did you know that there is a Ley Line Hunters Society?)we went for the most delish meal at The Red Lion in Long Compton, you know where the Witches are suppose to live!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">I didn't see any Witches although in my mind they all look like Meg from Meg and Mog with stripy tights and a tall black hat but then I <em>was</em> too busy ogling the fab and quirky decor. Now, any pub that has a Greyhound with a pretty shade on its head is a winner in my book ... </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span> <span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Hi y'all, phewee this week has been a very busy but very enjoyable one. So where to start ...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">~ ~ ~</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Here ... <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfBKqaVk2Co" target="_blank"><span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;"><strong>NEW MUSIC ALERT!</strong></span> This fabbo song from a new band has been going around and around in my head this week ~ OMG I love it. Enjoy xx</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">I'm keeping my fingers crossed that, as they are still relatively new on the music scene, they may come to Oxford to gig. My daughter and I have managed to see the likes of Tinie Tempah and Professor Green in intimate gigs for £10.00 each in Oxford while they were climbing the ladder to fame. Recently we saw Temples as a support act who I have a feeling will make it to fame and fortune. I hope so, they are a fab neo psych band who are unique, write great songs and captivating to watch. Cor, it all happens here in Oxford ... we should be called the home of new music!! ;)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">My fav photo of this week is a bit of a corker, even if I do say so myself. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> I had the micky taken out of me by my family including my father-in-law in the process of taking this, then when the waitress tried to take the used cutlery away and I asked if she could leave the spoon as I was taking a photo of it you should have heard the howls of laughter from around the table. Still, just look at this cracker ...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> Auction fever ...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">The last auction my friend and I attended was the beginning of February so we were both champing at the bit for the next date which was this weekend. With over 500 lots we hankered down for the day with a continuous supply of coffee, eccles cakes (delish and homemade by a very talented baking lady who supplies the auction house with the most tasty delights ~ nom)and a couple of magazines for the few dull lots (Beswick figures ~ yawn and stamps ~ bigger yawn). </span><span style="font-family: Courier New;">We were both content spending the day in familiar surroundings and lovely antiques and collectibles. Here is a snippet of what was on offer ...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">The most gorgeous sofa in the whole wide world. I fell head over heals in love with this beaut but sadly I have no need or space for such a thing</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> But ... in my defence, I only paid £11.80 for it and have looted the cushions then passed it on to a loving home. So £11.80 for 4 large cushions with feather pads (all 4 are floral backed with striped fabric for a contrast) it wasn't such a bonkers buy and there was method to my madness, despite the fact I had no way of getting it home and my lovely friend and her partner came to my rescue(cheers J&M)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Poor Hermie was bursting with family members, all of
us squeezed in to him. He was a home from home on two wheels to two adults
(slightly larger after Easter than before), a teenager, a lanky lad, a
tiny lil puppy dog and a great big mahousive Greyhound. All of us along with
every type soft furnishing you could ever need in an assortment of different
colours meant poor Hermie nearly burst at the seams. Thank goodness we filled
the tyres up to the max with air before we embarked on our way! However, Hermie
did us proud and kept us all warm, dry, cosy and happy in our lil home for the
duration of our stay in lovely Dorset.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">The main reason<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>for
our trip was<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>to finally experience ‘
hands on’ what a stay away in a caravan/our Hermie is really like and to see
what we need/how to set things up/gain experience in towing/etc.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had a pretty major mishap within the first
hour of arriving, during the journey the water pipe had come loose under the
sink and broken away from the tap.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When
we turned the tap on water gushed out under the cupboard soaking the electrics, flooding the
cupboard, its contents and the floor ~ ahhhhh. That’s a lesson learnt the hard
way! However, despite that ‘blip’ below are the reasons why we have fallen head
over heels in love with caravanning:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</span></span></span>It’s like having a sleep over party every
evening. We would cosy down on the double bed in our jamas and toasty bed socks
among cushions, our pillows and duvets and chat or read, play games, write
music. As my son said “it’s like having one long fun sleepover at Hermie’s house”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</span></span></span>When it’s raining outside there really is no
better feeling that snuggled down in your duvet with a warm cuppa listening to
rain drops pitter patter on the roof.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</span></span></span>As sad as it sounds, nothing beats coming back
from a day out and filling your <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">own</i>
kettle up then pouring a cuppa into <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">our</i>
usual fav mugs<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>~ ah a proper cuppa.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</span></span></span>Freedom of choice: having the freedom to stay put

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">

</span></span></span>The community feel. We have noticed that there
is a real community feel between fellow caravaners, if you’ve gotta caravan
then we’re all friends together.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Most morning’s
milk, bread, eggs and other delights are shared among fellow neighbours. Pleasant
“good mornings” and chit chat over the
football results and weather reports go on with a cuppa in hand.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">

</span></span></span>The just got up look is all the rage. It is the
norm to crawl out if bed, tiny pincey eyed and hair like an unkept nest and
trundle down to the shower block clutching toiletries and a towel. Inside a welcomed
15 mins is spent showering, teeth cleaning and hair drying, along with chatting
about hair products and how your neighbour has such a glossy mane only to
emerge invigorated and looking like a completely different person to the one
who staggered from your caravan 15 minutes earlier.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">There are good and bad points to owning an older (<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">almost</i> retro) caravan, our Hermie is 22
years old.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The good is with it all being
completely authentic inside its sweet and like stepping back in time and you
know you have something with age, character and becoming rarer and rarer. The
bad is having your father-in-law parked up next to you in his almost brand spanking
new and improved, posher than posh caravan with space, all mod cons and total
luxury.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My husband kept saying “I’m just
popping next door” and came back some time later saying “Phwar, it’s boiling
around there with the central heating on, I had to take my jumper off” and “I’ve
just been watching the built in TV around there”. Hum, we have no mod cons, other
than a fridge! Still, retro v modern? I suppose the two are so opposite
they are just too impossible to compare.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Although I wouldn’t say no to central heating, this portable plug in jobbie has been a God send
during our stay …</span></div>
