And for the fashion stalker

Look what turned up in the post today. Celebration shoes!

This means I now have 6 pairs of Hard Hearted Harlot shoes to my name.

Bliss!

And the one he's been waiting for!

Apparently what my nephew really wanted to see was the kitchen. So here it is.

I'm not sure why he's so interested in the kitchen (other than that's where the food will come from) but curiousity must be satisfied. I suspect he may be disappointed.

It's much smaller than what he's used to. (And what I'm used to come to think of it).

Let's put it this way. If my cat were a swinger, she would struggle in this bijoux facility.

(Outdoor entertainment zone pictures will follow in a future post)

More tales from the inside

So having seen his sleeping accommodation for his visit to Scotland, today's offering covers the entertainment zone.

This is my living room.

Note beautiful big bay window with built in window seat. Also gorgeous fireplace with wood burning stove for the cooler evenings (like last night!).

But probably of most interest to my young stalker, tv with freeview and dvd player.

Outside entertainment zone pics in the next installment.

For my little stalker

My 6 year old nephew who is coming to stay with me in 10 days time has demanded some pictures of the inside of my flat to go with the photo of my back yard posted earlier today.

So here we go!

For starters, this is the bedroom he'll be sharing with his mum when he comes to stay.

Watch this space for more updates tomorrow and over the next week.

And by the way, I made those curtains myself. Plus the canvas on the bookshelf is a beautiful print from the very talented Gorjuss

My back yard

For those of you who haven't seen it yet, today's blog is a quick picture of my back yard.

Taken from the kitchen window in between rain showers and featuring my bargain table and chair set. Also visible are some of my new pots, planted up today in the rain and looking very pretty. I'm slowly disguising the concrete!

Also just visible is the hedge I tried to trim last weekend. Unfortunately as those who know me will realise, I was too short to trim the top properly and now it just looks like it's had a run in with a bad barber! Short back and sides but a bit straggly still on top!

Wild harvest

Sitting out in the back yard today and I realised that the strawberries are ripening fast.

I've already had the first three in a fruit salad. It looks like I'll be having strawberries and cream for pudding before too long.

Sadly I don't think they will last another 2 weeks until big sis and the wee one get here. All the more for me then!

Never too old to play with your food.

Since this is a creative blog, or at least is meant to be, I thought it was about time I showed you some.

So here it is - a multi media creation by a little known 71 year old artist from Scotland. Let me know what you think!

(The accusation that he just didn't want to eat it is entirely spurious.)
