I love this.
eat it all up people.

If I had an orchard.. i'd work til I'm raw

I aint gonna lie. I feel pretty tired. But someday....
This song is lovely.
and so is this one, which is a cover by First Aid Kit, found it a few years back but still love it just as much.

Tiger In a Jar

The best version of a recipe I have ever seen. By far tops any pretty recipe book or tv series
of home cooking. My head is exploding with creatives ideas lately. It's time to get working people.
Business plans; here I come.

Terms of Endearment.

Boy o Boy, what a gosh darn brilliant film. The little boy saying goodbye to his mamma at the end in the hospital made me cry.. wasn't he a wonderful wee actor in the making?

A series of single meals rounded off with a sound "family" dinner

Despite a photographic series of lovely meals for one, today was such a beautiful summers day (as summery as a summers day in northern England can be) and the whole family so to speak was in the house.
So making the most of it I Baked some haddock, knocked out a pizza and rocket salad and we all sat in the low sun to enjoy. I will only be in this house for another 4 weeks and it is honest to say I will miss these girls a bunch as well as Millie the dog. But I have declared how I shall be visiting oft' to indulge in some 'family' time and to maintain the small front garden.

                                         

 

 

 

 

Life is proving to be very full of unexpected occurrences.. let us hold out for all the good'ns in light
of the bad ones.

Ebert is a sweet sound...

and I have been wearing my hats!
That is all for today other than I going to develop film from my trip to Ireland and Scotland soon, and will get some of those sweet puppies up... that is if any of them turned out as they appeared in my mind's eye.

I have decided to try to be brave and wear my hats more often than not over here in England. For some reason I lost confidence in wearing them since moving here... perhaps as this city doesn't have much of a movement in these quarters, therefore I might look like an attention seeking tit, which is not the case... I just love hats. This is one of my Nana's. Passed on to me in January this year when she died... She was the queen of hats and wore them so well. So I shall try to conjure up some of her hat confidence and sport hers more oft' so that they can live another life, this time on her grand-daughters head.
