Breakfast Teapot

There’s just something deeply satisfying about a breakfast tray with a teapot on it.

Charity Shopping

Been out doing a bit of charity shopping and picked up a couple of vinyls, a rather special cushion and a cute little T G Greens teapot. The teapot is a bit of a triple threat for me, not only am I a local boy, I was born and raised in Church Gresley, but my Nan worked as a cleaner at the T G Greens pottery for years and the piece it’s self is named after the mine my Grandad worked most of his adult life down.

Christmas Food

For me Christmas day is almost entirely about food and drink, even down to the late night leftover sandwich and glass of port. Merry Christmas.

This Week I’ve Mostly Been...

This week I’ve mostly been a complete and utter fatty, I should really know better by now.

When You Thought That You Looked Good In The Mirror...

When you thought that you looked good in the mirror, but you look like crap on the camera.

Fear Is The Only Logical Response

This is the war cry of a truly vicious creature, the dreaded attack squirrel. Tremble before it's glorious might and live in constant fear of invoking it's squirrely wrath.

It Always Happens When I'm On Leave

It turns out I've hardly used any of my annual leave this year, so I've booked the rest of December off. Apparently, as an adult, it's a generally accepted fact that the moment you take a break from work your immune system shuts down and you invariably become ill. I woke up this morning feeling headachy, slightly groggy and thoroughly congested so I dosed myself up with plenty of water, strong coffee, vitamin c and menthol. Now I'm taking some time out to do a bit of walking and enjoy the beautifully fresh winter morning. Also I came across these cute little guys up near an old tree stump.

Cooking My Meals In Advance Because I'm Lazy

That’s my dinners sorted for the next few days, jerk chicken, roasted seasoned veg and rice and peas.

It's Mince Pie Season

It's December so I finally feel justified in breaking out the mice pies, nom nom nom.
