Just call me Charlie Dimmock - but I will wear a bra!

Last weekend ma&pa visited to help me work on our garden.....I was so excited to get to work on my very own space & not just an old ceramic sink at my folks'.
When we moved in it had been a pretty wet winter (understatement!) & most of the grassy area was just mud. My first job a few months ago was to get a load of lawn seed down to see what happened & a lawn happened that's what! We even had to buy a lawn mower the other week it was that good! 

Dad got to work cutting the grass then mum & I weeded the newly dug boarders. Thankfully the weather was kind to us & we spent all of Sunday planting bedding plants & tidying up the existing shrubs. I even found out we've got Rosemary growing which went on the lamb roast dad & I cooked for dinner - ah domestic bliss!
These 2 views are my favorite, especially the one on the left. I've been popping out each evening to water the plants & check on the sweet peas...it's so good to have our own little haven, roll on the summer when we have a few more plants & the BBQ going! Who's for a burger?!

The Culture Vultures swoop in on London pt2

Image
The next day we awoke to beautiful blue skies & sunshine. I don't usually post about what I wore (hence the crappy lighting & dodgy background) but I loved the fact I could be so colourful & sunny. Bring on the permanent better weather when I dress like this all day & every day! Adam & I met the gang & we all headed to the British Museum. Colin & Sue had tickets to see Grayson Perry (which we'd seen before) so when they went into the show we walked around the other displays. I couldn't resist getting another photo of Alan Measles on the back of his bike basking in the sunshine as well as a photo of part of the Hajj exhibition. I don't think they could have put two more different shows on at the same time! As we were walking through another room I just stopped dead in my tracks when I saw a really long display cabinet containing 'Cradle to Grave' by Pharmacopoeia (more info on it here ). It's been a while since I loved a piece o...

Sorry for the dad joke I just couldn't resist! Hope y'all had a lovely Easter either with family, friends or mountains of chocolate! We managed two out of the three so can't be bad! Ma&Pa got us Easter eggs with the wedding countdown on (as if we could forget!) Sunday we went to Adam's parents & just relaxed. It was just the R&R we needed. They treated me to a Kinder Egg & I whiled away the time making my jigsaw & nibbling the choc. We gave Jill&Keith a box of Dairy Milk & then helped them along the way with eating it. Today we're seeing my side of the family & then it's back to work. Argh! Where did that long weekend go?! Ttfn x

March Photo A Day Challenge Pt2

Image
Here's my final set of marchphotoaday snaps. They're completely out of order for some reason but enjoy anyway! * Green - in Westfield I decided to tuck into a salad from Tossed I love their branding & fake grass everywhere! * A Corner Of Your Home - although Adam always insists this is his seat it's my special corner I like to curl up in * Funny - Steve treated the office to egg sweets, they weren't particularly funny but the amount of sugar in them meant the afternoon flew by! * Before / After - this was day 1 of my Illustrator course so I clicked at the start & the end of the day. * Delicious - lunch from Leon - yum! * Kitchen Sink - this is me carrying everything but the kitchen sink to my course! * Key - my key to the city, I'd be lost without my oyster card. * Your Name - courtesy of Tatty Devine! * Moon - not quite the moon, just a street lamp shining through the blossom but it was cloudy that night * Trash - need I say more?! * Feet - my feet * Where...
