Yesterday I made our Christmas cake.
I hope it tastes as good as it smells.
Now I just have to feed it with Brandy for a few weeks before putting the icing on.
Norfolk Coastal Path…Cley to Sheringham
To me nothing beats a day along the coast in the winter.
I love to feel the wind through my hair and hear the crashing of the waves.
It blows the cob webs away and makes me feel happy and alive.
Even nicer when you can share it with someone special too 🙂
We finished the day off with a lovely meal at Bradley’s in Kings Lynn, A perfect way to end a perfect day.
Geoff’s EveryTrail route and photos can be seen here…
Great Feedback…
From two of my new Swedish body massage clients….
"Thanks for the treatment _ i really enjoyed it and I have to say I have a bit of a dodgy left knee and it feels so much better now – It felt great straight afterwards but is still so much better than before- You will definitely see me again before too long".
"Thanks for a great massage, I felt relaxed for quite a few days after until the tension finally crept back in. Unfortunately i am working again all this week but it looks like I have next wed (5th) off so would like to book in for another."
Why do people collect things…
Most people collect and display something in their lives.
It might be a collection of family snaps stuck into an album, or holiday souvenirs arranged on a mantelpiece,assembled and displayed without any thought of being a "collector".
Other people form collections for a specific purpose: old masters for investment or memories "collected" on tape to preserve a changing way of life….
Over the years I have collected many things including 16 years worth of first day cover stamps.
BUT tell me, why did I collect and keep all the baby teeth from my two boys……
All to be found in this beautiful trinket box….
Do you have any strange collections ? ? ?
A very rare photo ….
Of me as a baby where you can actually see my Nevis or strawberry birth mark,right in the middle of my forehead.
Secret Santa…
In another life I used to do quite a bit of craft work, quilting and card making.
Its been awhile since I had the time or the desire to make anything,although I did make a card for Geoff on valentines.
Some months ago Helena from Creating A Likeness decided she was going to do a Secret Santa for any of her readers that wished to take part.
I decided it would be fun and sent her my details, 15 other blogger’s did too.
My card is now made and ready to send, for obvious reasons I cannot show you my card yet or tell you which blogger I have made it for.
It will be interesting to get my card and see what my blog has inspired that person to make for me.
A big thank you must go to Helena for taking the time to organize this.
Third time lucky….
Last year I had the hard task of looking for new walking boots, I finally settled for a pair of Asolo flame.
I was very pleased with these boots until the stitching began to come apart.
I returned them to field and trek and they exchanged them for another pair.
Unfortunately the second pair have now developed the same fault.
I got my first pair in April 2007 and my second pair in February 2008.
As these are not cheap boots I had expected them to be of better quality.
After getting wet feet on my last two walks I decided it was time to try and sort this problem out.
Field and Trek advised me to e-mail Asolo, so this week I did.
I had a quick reply from Asolo, they say as boots are still under warranty I should return them to Field and Trek .
They even go as far as saying if I have any trouble "Field and Trek should contact our returns department in order to resolve this."
Now all this points to great customer service…. so we shall see what happens at the week-end.
This time I want my money back as I don’t want to risk having the same problem with the same boots for a third time.
Then I have the task of finding new walking boots which is never easy….
Un-decided…
I am thinking about removing the Blogpower blog roll from my side bar.
I don’t have to explain why.
If I decide to remove it don’t worry I shall still visit all my favourite blogs.
