So here’s an #interiors question. If you put a shelf above your bed, how high should it be? I didn’t want to risk bashing my head in, so we went quite high. I say ‘we’ but it was LSB with his drill out, & me just giving orders. 🤣⁣
⁣
Now I think it’s a bit too lofty, & am thinking I could even squeeze in a picture or two in the gap. 🖼⁣

Or should I leave well alone?? It just looks a bit bare. Incidentally, isn’t Frida looking great with her ‘string of pearls’ hair style? Thanks to @howellandtrowel for that little beauty. 🌱🪴

😁 My cheeks are still sore from all the smiling, laughing & scoffing exquisite food. Erin & Jo’s attention to detail is exemplary & I ❤️ all the little stories about the origins of all the dishes. ( I am a giant food nerd). ⁣
⁣
🍻 Home brewed beer & riotous company (thanks @claireharpersyard & @martinaklapicka) made this a night which will be etched in my memory for a long time. Huge thanks to Claire too for getting ‘in like Flynn’ & bagging us the tickets- she was like a ninja, given that 3 nights sold out in as many minutes!

My lovely friend Maureen Boyle bought me some Swee

My lovely friend Maureen Boyle bought me some Sweet William over a week ago. They were starting to look a little tired so I took them out of their vase, pruned off the elderly leaves & popped them into these vessels instead (a coffee bottle & a crystal vase). It was quite a lovely activity to be at, of a Sunday morning.

Be warned: at a certain point in one’s forties it is possible that photos of succulents & sausage rolls may feature on Instagram. 🪴Plus life hacks on duvet covers & hoovering. 🧹You heard it here first. Link in bio. Sorry.

👗This is a frock I definitely have NOT had my 30 wears out of- despite the fact I bought it in 2012 from @Evelyn Brandt when I was pregnant. It always made me feel a bit frumpy, even with bright accessories. However, I teamed it with this jacket my friend gave me & with the red belt & earrings I am quite pleased. ♥️⁣
⁣
Great for work & the layered skirt is keeping my legs toasty as it’s a bit flipping chilly for June! ❄️

Birthday weekend breakfast from my friend- homemade pancakes & a posey of flowers grown from seed. She knows me well! 💐Still loving my camper-van mug that I picked up from my zero waste FB site. 🚐

🌈Wee windswept pic of me in my new @stberts sweatshirt & with my new bag as I head off to work this morning. Loving the striped retro vibe too. Have to give a nod to this skirt that I bought in 1999 (!!!) on my year abroad on Reunion Island. 30 wears? More like 300 (at least). ☀️☀️☀️

👜 Last Friday I took a @belfastbike into town to go handbag shopping in House of Fraser. I’d received an email saying that since it was my birthday month I was entitled to 20% off any purchase. ⁣
⁣
🥳 ‘Hurrah!’ says I, as my current handbag was falling apart. I had my 👀 on this shiny red one for work & play. ‘Totally worth the price tag,’ I thought. But no, alas I couldn’t get my discount unless I bought it on-line, in which case I would get my discount but still have to pay P&P. (Inevitably it would come massively wrapped up & I would lament the waste.)⁣
⁣
‘Bugger that,’ I said, & ordered this cute little number from @stberts instead. But seriously, any wonder people can’t be bothered schelping into town with shenanigans like this? 😳🤯

🐱Bramble is what can only be described as a ‘problem cat’. He has many issues, most of which become ‘our issues’ as he wakes us up throughout the night, craving food & attention. Georgina decided this morning that he needed a therapy session, & appointed herself ‘cat psychiatrist’. Keeping everything crossed that it will work. 🤞🤞🤞

🧁Everyday, I fall more and more in love with tray bakes. There must be a latent Presbyterian in me somewhere. Today is the day of the pineapple cream and I must state, for the record, that M&S make the very finest. The perfect snack while listening to a @tenx9storytelling podcast. 🎧

🧼🛁 First time back in town when there hasn’t been an enormous queue outside @lushbelfast. Gorgeous m, helpful staff & sweet smelling tubs & bars of loveliness- I could have stayed all day. 🌸🌱
