Hello Pumpkin

Hello. Phew I'm banjaxed, we go swimming on a Wednesday night and I'm now fit for nothing apart from perhaps watching The Apprentice or Ugly Betty :) Anyhoo, how are you all? Glad to know I'm not alone in my appreciation of Mr Rickman.So firstl,y please see above the first pumpkin from Twiglet's amazing harvest, many more to follow, this is one of the smaller ones, isn't it pretty?

It's my mates birthday next week (the owner of Margot and Barbara the chickens) so I made her this little card - please excuse out of focus photos, do you like it? it made me larf!!We attended Twiglet's parents evening on Monday and it was all good stuff, he is sociable, loves science, maths and his reading is fab, however like a lot of young chaps his hand writing needs work, but we'll get there. He came home with a certificate on Friday for - always contributing to class discussion - which I thought was most lovely :)

As we all know blogland is fab and full of lovely bloggers. Well I followed up on recommendations from two great bloggers this week. Firstly, Lisa at A Day in the Life of a Craft Fairy who mentioned these fab kilner style jars at Home Bargains for 99p!! bargain or what - get them while their hot!! Warning though, they are flippin heavy !!Also, lovely Diane at Heart Shaped often writes about how wonderful Wentworth is.

It was glorious up here on Sunday so we finally got there and enjoyed it so much we're thinking about getting a season ticket. I've scattered a few photos throughout my post.

Remember, I told you that I'd bumped into my bestest ever friend who I hadn't seen for 8 years a while ago? Well we have subsequently met up twice since then and honestly it's just great.

How can you not see someone for so long and then feel like they've just returned from the kitchen after making a cup of tea. We had to laugh on Tuesday we had a shopping trip, when we were teens these would be buying outfits, earrings, make up etc to go out that weekend. Now we're both Mums we bought kilner jars, mops and electrical extensions - oh the glamour of it all :)
Take care

PS I will return later in the week with a bit of work related news !!
