Monday, 3 August 2015. 2 August : Pub Garden. 3 August 2015 at 20:59. It looks so lovely. 4 August 2015 at 09:53. It is a very old fashioned country pub and we are lucky to have it in the village. 3 August 2015 at 22:50. Oh isnt it nice to sit outside a pretty pub with a drink and the one you love. Cheers Alice. 4 August 2015 at 09:54. Cheers right back to you. We were lucky to get a table this time - I think that everyone had gone to the beach because it was the first sunny day for a while. This is my r...

http://allthebrightday.blogspot.com/2015/07/30-july-hollyhocks.html
Thursday, 30 July 2015. 30 July : Hollyhocks. 31 July 2015 at 00:24. Your garden looks like a beautiful retreat - with or without blooming hollyhocks! 3 August 2015 at 20:01. As the Head Gardener I must admit that I chiefly see the weeds but I am training myself to sit and enjoy the flowers every day. 31 July 2015 at 00:32. Nevertheless, your garden still looks beautiful. 3 August 2015 at 20:03. There is much to do after years when I worked full time but it has given me much pleasure this year. Mine have...

Creative Academia: October 2014
http://creativeacademia.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Monday, 27 October 2014. Once again I’m joining in with the very lovely Gillian. Although it may be too warm for a hat. Although I’ve dredged the boots out of the wardrobe, I’ve actually been coatless today. Outside. In Leeds. At the end of October. The weather is unseasonably warm. We ate like Kings for the next 3 days as the ABO and I tucked into; Lancashire hotpot, Steak and Mushroom Pudding (thanks to an IG cry out Sue. This time it was a hotpot with beef and veggies in the pot. I’ve been brows...

Creative Academia: September 2014
http://creativeacademia.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Friday, 26 September 2014. More happies on a Friday. Thanks so much for all your lovely comments on my last post. I’m so pleased to be a part of the ‘precious things’ collaboration that Sarah. It’s been a busy week. I’ve been struggling to fight off a cold which seems to have burnt itself out without too much paracetamol or sniffing. So, BigR’s first full week at school was tiring for me as well as her! Even the combs have age restrictions on them! We love to see the kitchen garden and there was a vast f...

Creative Academia: June 2015
http://creativeacademia.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 30 June 2015. Ten things : June. Here we are at the end of the month. I'm counting down to our (hopeful) holiday, the end of the school year and the end of the medication for LittleR. Hopefully normal life and nursery can resume soon. I need to be more positive I think. The British Summer is here. I think it actually might be too hot. Well, we're experiencing 2 days of 28-30C in Leeds then, I expect it'll rain and normal service will be resumed. I'll look forward to that then! To make sure we ma...

Creative Academia: April 2015
http://creativeacademia.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, 16 April 2015. Ten Things : April. As well as the worry thoughts (what if.) but to counteract that I've actually gotten up and gotten on with stuff. I'm struggling to believe we're nearly a quarter of the way through the year. Thr last 6 weeks have been a blur and a steep learning curve. Pizza is now a staple in our lives since I worked out how not to make to stick to the baking tray. I often have some dough 'resting'in the fridge (who knew you do this? BigR has expressed an interest in learnin...

Just a little less: How it Started
http://justa-littleless.blogspot.com/p/how-it-started.html
Epiphany – any moment of great or sudden revelation; a sudden intuitive perception of or insight into the reality or essential meaning of something, usually initiated by some, simple, homely, or commonplace occurrence or experience. Would we find a smaller house that we liked? Could we cope with the upheaval? Yet we knew radical action was needed. 26 October 2012 at 17:03. 27 October 2012 at 20:57. Thanks - a great title. I will check it out :). 13 November 2012 at 06:30. Im so happy I checked your blog&...

Just a little less: January 2015
http://justa-littleless.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Hello Some very sad news: my lovely dad passed away very peacefully on Tuesday evening, with us by his side. For some occasions in life there are no words but I have written a few - every one of them for Dad. Thank you for every kind wish, prayer and message recently. Claire xo. Why did I fear the end when,. In the end, you. Were deftly lifted to somewhere. Just a hum away. As illness washed-out your bones. Words of comfort splashed. The room like skimming stones. I squeezed your hand and your. 12 Low fa...

Creative Academia: November 2014
http://creativeacademia.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, 20 November 2014. Once upon a time I went through a period of illness. It was a very long time ago. Even now though, moments of that experience stay with me and very occasionally I think back to that time and how it partly moulded me into the person I am now. I chose most of mine for their colours and the way they felt in my hand rather than for their meaning. Every now and again I seek out my stones, for me they are a precious thing. You can see others’ precious things here:. I am trying to be...

Just a little less: How to Make a Vertical Pallet Planter
http://justa-littleless.blogspot.com/2015/07/how-to-make-vertical-pallet-planter.html
How to Make a Vertical Pallet Planter. Here's the vertical planter we've been working on to brighten up our small garden. Whilst last year's gardening was all about changing the design and planting from scratch this year we've tried to be more creative. Our garden style is part Zen part reclaimed chic. This pallet planter definitely fits into the second category. Inspired by what we've seen online and out and about we set about creating our own easy version. 2 x compost bags (we used size 40 litres).
