What to do this windy, wet weekend?
Ok, so I have just had a good old look at the weather ahead this weekend and it's fair to say it's looking wet, windy and to be honest a little grim! With plans ahead I'm seriously contemplating cancelling them all, popping some scones in the oven and spending it relaxing, reading a good book and enjoying copious amounts of hot chocolate in a lovely big mug (with whipped cream, syrup & marshmallows of course)........ what do you think? Cheeky, indulgent but so earned!!

According to experts, the big design trends of 2011 will stem from consumers reassessing what they need to live comfortably, seeking innovation, finding a local balance in a global world and searching for personalized products.
The book Interior Trends 2011 was recently released by IMM Cologne; compiled by the expert committee of the international trend board at IMM Cologne, this latest in a series of annual publications predicts that people are questioning what they need to live well, demanding innovation not re-imagination, addressing issues of balance and seeking products with personality.
Valentines....... what to do?
VALENTINE
A poem, a meal, a simple kiss
Valentines you better not miss!
Bake a cake,
Row a lake,
Give a ring; a bit of bling.
This valentine show you care,
