A Great British Summer...

What a fabulous year of celebrations.

Firstly we saw the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee in June 2012. An extra long bank holiday weekend of wonderful company, food and drink. Hooray!

London and other towns and cities throughout the UK hosted the Olympic Games. Team GB came third in the medal table, winning 29 gold medals. Congratulations! We are all very proud of you.

Here is the best dressed shop window in the village – Bourne End, Bucks.
Mankind, the barbers...

Who is your favourite Olympian? I know who mine is...

I did not get to go to the Olympics but Mr Mac did and came back with a souvenir - meet Wenlock – and some fab photos.

I cannot listen to ‘Caliban’s Dream’ by Underworld without crying – tears of happiness and joy – and remembering how beautiful and moving the lighting of the cauldron was at the Opening Ceremony.

I love the sweet words...

As the rain tossed above us

In the garden of the world

But a flame arrives to guide us

Past the gold between the angles of the stars

Watching over all the children in the rain

And the streets where I remember

Where the fire that lights a candle soars again

A flaring flame

Hear it call

Through the darkness

Hear it call to us all

And start again

Its beating heart

Comes again

When the light drives out our fears

And the joy drives out our pain

And the nations come to greet us

Waving open arms of waves of golden corn

Ever hear us

Oh, the spirit of the world

May your light be ever near us

Always lead us from the dark

Though we may fall

We will fly

And with love

Hear it call

We did go into London for a day trip to soak up some of the atmosphere.

Where else could you see this majestic sight?

We also discovered Mulberry Teacup at Kingly Court off Carnaby Street.

We love our gardens and roses too. These gorgeous Cupcake Bouquets would add an elegant touch to any special occasion.

We will now enjoy and be inspired by the London 2012 Paralympic Games and will continue to be very proud to be British...

Lots of love

The photos say it all...

Strawberries are my favourite fruit

5 things for which I have a thing...

I have a big big thing for hearts.

I have a secret thing for egg cups.

I love to put my things in pretty tins.

I like to shop for vintage cake stands,

Which I love to fill with yummy anythings...

Yesterday we had a stand at the wonderful Duck Pond Market in Ruislip. It was our first time and it was a really lovely day.

What made it so special? The joyful singers, the oh so tempting food stalls, the fun fair atmosphere, the talented designers and the friendly visitors.

Thank you to Caron for having us. We would love to come again...
