SOMETHING FOR THE WEEKEND

Wait. It's SEPTEMBER?! How the hell did that happen? To be fair, I have always kind of liked September - it's a much better 'new year' than cold, miserable January could ever be. I mean, we get to indulge in new stationary for one thing, we get to pull out all those...

I'm not entirely sure how it's happened but here we are at the end of July and summer is going by far too quick for my liking. To be fair, considering Manchester doesn't get the best weather in general, summer has been pretty kind to us. We've had lots of evenings...

A double dose of goodness here for you today as I failed to post my 'Something for the Weekend' in May and here we are at the end of June. Whoops. Nevermind, you'll just get double the value in a single post! 100% MORE ABSOLUTELY FREE. See? It sounds like a bargain...

Well, would you look at that. With a blink of the eye, April has come and gone and we're closing in on summer. I have to say, it does genuinely feel like Spring is here. My garden is bursting with life and the sun has been shining just a little more often. While the...

YOU GUYS. Oh my god, it's been a totally crazy month. In a good way, mind you, but crazy nonetheless. So first, I'll apologise for my lack of posts this past week as things have been a little busier than normal and neglecting my blog is the very last thing I like to...

Can you feel it? It's right there around the edges, hiding around that dusty dark cloud. Yes, yes, it's the sun. We may have just had Hurricane Doris blow through but I just know - I KNOW - that Spring is nearly here. The sun is higher, the days are longer and my god,...

Well just like that, we're at the end of January! Does Christmas seem like it was a million years ago to you too? Well, it was my birthday yesterday (well in a couple days as I'm writing this so it feels weird talking about it in past tense!) and we're off to London...

Well, here we are and it's the end of October! How has your autumn been so far? Summer seemed to lull me into a state of comfortable bliss and then the Autumn began and things just always go a bit mental until the run up to the new year. I've been busy working away on...

Well here we are, end of September and rushing towards winter and Christmas and that whole crazy season at some speed. I'm trying to make the most of autumn at the moment. I have a very love/hate relationship with winter and the cold rainy miserable-ness it brings. I...

Ahhh so summer is finally coming to an end. And yes, I'm a bit sad about that. I truly love Spring and Summer - I love the warmer temperatures and the sunshine (why in the world are you in England, I hear you ask - I know, I know.) But I do love the Autumn - knee high...

So that's July nearly done then! How is the summer going by so quickly? So far, it's been a bit of a mixed bag here. We had scorching temperatures last week (it hit over 30 degrees Celsius here in Manchester which never ever happens) but this week, the temperatures...

What a mixed bag June has been, eh? Not just in terms of the weather (can you tell how Anglicised I am when I talk about the weather so much?) - sunny and hot one week and then raining and a bit on the chilly side the next - but also in terms of the general atmosphere...

We're halfway through the year!! Oh my goodness, how does that happen? Well, it's nearly summer and I have to say, despite starting the month with the weirdest weather (wind, snow, sleet? what!), we have had a rather good month weather-wise as it's warmed up nicely...
