October highlights

Swift snow, concert countdown and quince poaching

Yes, I did say October snow, it happened while we were on holiday in Romania. The need for adventure was stronger than the weather forecast message and here we were, turning around before even getting to Sinaia resort, as the skies opened, sieving white cold 'flour' and laying a carpet ahead of us. So going straight back was not an option. Surreal, but the cold was blooming real!

Back from holiday, chance made it that I found out I can book us 2 tickets to the Chris Rea concert at Nottingham which will happen next year on 15th March!

Sooo looking forward to that!

And if that wasn't geeky enough, the domestic goddess in me created a French gourmet art with 6 quinces bought for us by my parents and 'smuggled in' lol (need I mention there's nowhere to find quinces here in England), I poached them and decorated them with rosemary to look pretty in the jars! Picture will follow!!!

Such A GRAND day!

Yes, it's been absolutely surreal our day at the Grand Designs Live Show!


Me and Paul shook hands with Kevin McLoud THE Grand Designs star!

And got an autograph with my name on!!!!!




And as if that wasn't enough I've got a picture as well! Not 1 but two pictures!


How smug and star struck do I look?


So inspiring the whole event!
