....hangover cure.....

...oh dear naughty squirrel...


...unused as you are to gin fizz....
...it is not advisable to drink too many..
...too quickly....
(note to self regarding forthcoming christmas festivities)


...so the day started somewhat shakily..
...with the thought of impending work
not altogether a welcome one...

..but then an unexpected parcel arrived
to distract my thumping head...
...some vintage toadstool decorations,
buttons, material.....


..sometimes mothers do know best...
...and mine had packaged up
some special treats...
perfect timing!


...then a trusty 'melon' arrived!
..she quickly deduced i was not fit
for work...
...and reminded me that ellie
was opening a new shop in dorchester today..
..hurrah for ellie! 


..by this point i was feeling decidedly better!

....so off we went...

...gorgeous christmassy tins...


...and lots of lovely 'jelly jam' treats..


 ...i have been loving this alpine fabric
on ellie's blog for a while now...
...so was excited to invest in a little purse!

....we also visited dorchester's

....oh me oh my....
..it's HUGE and FABULOUS....
...and freezing cold!
(thermals and mitts highly recommended)


..we had heart palpitations..
(not alcohol induced)
...and were unusually controlled...
(it being christmas and all that)

..but a £4 chad valley bun...
.. in need of love and affection... 
..and squirrel restoration...
was not to be missed!
(sorry beautiful straw lamb...but i had to be strong)
(probably see you next week if i can't sleep tonight) 

..so as you can tell...
...my cure was a natural one!
...much better now...
 thank-you one and all

....jubilee ........



...i keep finding little reminders of the jubilee dotted around the house...


....and after years spent thinking that commemoration memorabilia was a bit dated....
....i have discovered a new found love for it..



...so I'll keep flying the flag....
(any excuse to get the bunting out)


...even though it's all over......!


....who was that???!?
