Elderberry Champers

We made elderberry champagne... using this recipe: http://www.channel4.com/food/recipes/chefs/hugh-fearnley-whittingstall/elderflower-champagne-recipe_p_1.html

Will taste in 1 week...! Start the drumroll!

Trip to Kew Gardens

I went to Kew with my lovely cousin, her boyfriend and her two lovely girls! Had a super day out, was really amazing.

And we went to the butterfly ZONE! it was spectacular... they were amazing

And to end we went to what seemed to be a mad old lady's living room.. jam packed with pictures of plants... from all around the world that she had drawn... was really special

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

.........eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee *and breathe

So excited! Lovely people from work have sent me over MANY gifts... one of them being this lovely bag :D

LOVE batik

Can't wait to go out with it and some tribal jewellery.

Sorry... just entered "SUPER GIRLY MODE"

Allotmenty-Fun Times

Here's some pictures of the allotment, and of the lettuce trees I have been cultivating. Kinda lost momentum on the allotment, going to be leaving by Christmas... so just harvesting it for what it's worth at present....

I'm sorry again about the dirty night clowns

Apologies for repeating this from my LJ. I want to tell you about Chris Garneau...NOT because I have fancies for him.. but because he is INGENIOUS



I first heard him on Pandora in 2007. The song "We Don't Try", which I absolutely loved as it was quite depressing, could make you dry on a bad day. But he had a wierd little voice, you see

[you say you wanna die
just cos things don't work out right
but you don't even try
why, neither do I.

and neither do my friends
though some of them pretend
and its easy if you cry
cos you feel bad for yourself]

I thought.. I can relate to this... . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPvkKD3D5Hg&feature=related

Then Pandora went away.



Two years later, it gets suggested to me on Last fm... "woah!! this old tune". And I heard a couple more and then bought the one and only album....

I showed mitch his picture and he a'dribbling... "he's gorgeous!!!"

then by chance one day i looked on Last fm. and saw he was in town promoting his new, second album... we went to see him, all 5 foot-slightly wierd-but very sweet-something of him,

I just wanted to make a special post. He's very good

But have a look: if you have spare time:

My room....

Ok, one thing I have noticed is a lot of people put up pictures of their dwellings... and I am particuarly proud of my room, and my room-style... I can turn any place of abode into a cosy nest just with the amount of CRAP I own... but it turns out different each time...
