Here are a few photos of my new home.

I am so so in love with my new red sofa and chair 🙂

My weight has stayed the same for the past few weeks, which is great as I find it hard to maintain my weight.

Now things are settling down at home and I am getting back into a routine its time to start cooking again.

Tonight I decided to try the baked bean lasagne recipe and much to my amazement it not only tasted really good but was really filling too.

Good job I enjoyed it as it made enough to feed me for the week !!

And the best thing is….. its free on Green and EE 🙂

I go into the Cath Kidston shop in Cambridge quite regulary to drool over there bags.

Its since we went to China and I regreted not buying a fake Cath Kidston Bag.

So to get it out my system once and for all I have been saving hoping to get one in the sale.

Well the sale starts tomorrow 23rd June.

So at the weekend I may just buy this bag, just in time for my holidays too 🙂

But I do like this one too , although I am not really a blue person and the other colours are not in the sale 🙁

I have finally planted up my window box and look forward to seeing the flowers from my kitchen window 🙂

The rest of my garden is going to take much longer to do !

Although I have a collection of plants in pots thanks to Geoff’s sister 🙂

Can you guess what they are ??

I have only been living here a few weeks but all ready I am beginning to find a few things out about this Estate.

Firstly they have there own web site  where you can find out about anything that is happening on the Estate, and of course I have all ready signed up 🙂

Secondly the estate has its own little running group called the Fairstead falcons , this could be a great way for me to make some new friends 🙂

So all is looking good 🙂

One of the good things about moving house is that it gives you the opportunity for a really good clear out.

Not that I need an excuse to have a clear out, so even I was amazed at the amount of things we had out grown over the past 5 years

It was suggested that I do a car boot sale but to be honest I like to donate my unwanted things to charity.

I may not have spare cash to give to my favored charity’s but by donating my unwanted things it helps them raise the money they need.

I am waiting on the arrival of my new Red chaise end Sofa and Plain Red chair ( and no I never paid that price in fact its an early 50th birthday gift ) so I needed a home for my present settee and chairs.

Recently I met a couple who have set up a fantastic charity called Lifeline 4 Chernobyl the work they do is amazing 🙂

So today my Settee and chairs were collected and will be in there next auction.

If you live in the Kings Lynn / Downham market area please give this charity a thought, if you have unwanted items at home that may be suitable to auction.

Our Saturday did not turn out as expected, luckily it fell apart before we made a 75 mile drive.

It could also have been much worse as I had really wanted to take part in this event but thankfully I had decided I could not afford too.

So instead we went to the Cambridge Town and Country fair

There was many interesting stalls but one really took my eye, it was selling The handy re-usable collapsible PVC vase.

 
You simple fill it with hot water to shape -empty-then fill with cold water and arrange your flowers.

Simple reverse the process to store away flat

Most weekends we spend some time with Geoff’s grandchildren,which I really enjoy.

As Isla loves to bake we have a lovely routine of baking on a Saturday.

Today we made enough mini chocolate muffins for Isla’s lunch boxes and some for the walk Geoff is leading for the Cambridge rambling club tomorrow.

I started off with 42 muffins but only seem to have 22 left so I hope its not a huge turn out for tomorrows walk 🙂
