What We Did.....
.......This Weekend
• A visit to Salts Mill, the wonderful David Hockney gallery
• Lunch in Salts Diner which uses Booge (Hockney's sausage dog) as its logo. That's a delicious portabello mushroom burger.
• The Hepworth Gallery which had a fab sculpture just outside. Check out the potty ear!!
• A walk to Furness Vale including canal boats, alpacas and sheep.
Today I have been working but more on that another day. Thank you for all your comments lately and hello to some lovely new folk that have introduced their fantastic blogs to me. I will post that Parkin recipe this week too but it's nothing fancy! I have just had a slice and it's definitely improving day by day. I wish I had left it wrapped up from the start but I have no cake patience!
It's half term here this week...no alarm tomorrow!

52 weeks of Happy (4/52)
• Being lucky enough to work from home (hence the paint alongside pans from tea)
• Cake flags made for a fan of Adventure Time (an odd but cool cartoon)
• Lovely Morten who features again this week, despite digging up my newly planted bulbs!
•Moomin postcards I bought in Finland. Maisy and Soren are going away with their Dad for a few days and I always send them off with a note tucked in their bags.
Hope mid week finds you happy or able to find a bit of happy within our hectic days! xx

Paint
Another Monday comes around and there is a lot to fit in before the kids break up on Friday.
I have wrapped up another family picture for delivery today and have started the HUGE canvases for the school music room project. Not quite sure how I will get them to school when they are done.....I only have a tiny Fiat!
Now I'm off to the post office and for a quick coffee before school pick up. Soren has a friend coming for tea. What do you make when they have pals over? I always do something kiddie ish, just in case. You never know what other children will like. Here it will be chicken dippers, potato waffles, peas and sweet corn. Predictable but always eaten!

3/52 Weeks Of Happy
Another week has flown by.....
My 4 happy bits and bobs this week are, I suppose, the essence of this project started by lovely Jen at Little Birdie. Simple things that cost very little and are just part of day to day life.
• a cheery chilli plant on my fireplace
• gorgeous Morten and my slippers
• gnocchi with breadcrumbs from the new Nigella book
• having time to bake a Raspberry Bakewell Cake from a recipe my Mum saved for me
Food, my lovely dog and a cosy house, what more could I ask for?
Happy Weekend everyone, and thank you for always dropping by. It means a lot! Xx

Home
There hasn't been a great deal happening around here. Well that's not quite true, it's been the usual hectic whirlwind of driving children to activities, homework, my work, cooking and cleaning. I suppose I mean there has been a lack of things of interest!
I am doing some more work at school (hence the huge canvases) and another family picture. I also made a little felt flower brooch for my friend who is not too well. I know that leading up to Christmas is going to be mad busy so I started doing extra jobs and doing a bit of shopping. My family all have birthdays leading up to Christmas and this year we have a 70th and a 40th!
I WILL be organised!
