The last few weekends have been great. A couple of weeks ago when we had that amazing sunshine, we gave the garden, garage, side, front a complete tidy up resulting in several trips to the dump, but boy it was worth it! The next weekend we headed for Bristol in Tim's new car to give it a bit of a run and to see family. :-) We popped into Costco - for those of you who don't know, it's one of those warehouse shops that sells things in bulk often much cheaper than elsewhere. I bought a few things I've been wanting for ages (some things much more interesting than others) - a retro looking iPod dock so I can listen to music upstairs, a gigantic fabric conditioner (living in the sticks does mean that shopping trips have to be very organised! If you need it, buy it!), lots of books (some for Christmas presents), and, my particular favourite six pots of lovely pink heather for £6.99. I'd seen it in a magazine, and couldn't find it anywhere so when I saw it there I grabbed it!!

[Ah, what's this a new shed?]That's right dear readers, I now have a shed (why is this so exciting?!!). Unfortunately, it really needs another coat of paint, but that will have to wait until the weather picks up a bit. We now have a garage for Tim's car and all our junk in the shed.
Just a reminder of what it looked like before below - this photo, believe me, makes it look much nicer than it did. It used to be the worst bit of the garden.
Now then the next bit of excitement is that I have my very own range of mugs for sale and soon to be in my Charity Shop. All proceeds from the sale of these will go Alzheimer's Society.
Look at these beauties! :-)
