I’m so excited about the months ahead….spring and Summer. After the horribly cold snowing months of the winter seasons I am more than ready for the coming seasons although not physically ready! We moved into a nice house in North London late last year and it has a huge deck and quite a big patch of grass area. So the decking will be perfect for our summer BBQ’s and the garden area will be great for some gardening and a fun area for the cats to hang out in. At the moment this whole area is quite bare…! I need to grow some more grass as it is a little sparse and I’m going to plant some cat grass in random pots for the kitties to nibble on (apparently it helps them with fur balls). Once I get the grass growing all lush I’m going to decorate with some gnomes and plant some ‘bunny tail’ seeds. Its a sort of grass with little furry buds on the end. Of course I need to buy some big pots and plant some shrubberies and nice flowers. I think I definitely have my work cut out for me!
Okay I think that is enough pictures! Goodness me I’m excited!

We went and bought a real Chrsitmas tree last night, along with a holy and evergreen wreath. Poor Kurt had to Haul-ass but luckily the garden shop wasnt too far away.We put the tree up this morning, and I just love having a real tree. I’ve never had a real one before I guess living in Australia with all the hot weather limits that. The smell is so amazing, the lounge is jsut filled with this amazing fragrance! I made the felt bauble decorations, and they arent perfect but I’m happy with them. I’ve also tried a DIY project that I got from another blog, I shall blog about it later this week.
Here are some photos for now.

I got a tiny bit over-excited about my citron macaron
I went to Paris on the weekend and had the most amazing time. The city is so full of history and beautiful buildings. I nearly wanted to cry when a French lady said “Merci”, I was like finally I’m in Paris! The Eiffel tower was so much bigger than I expected, Notre dame was beautiful and of course the Louvre was everything you would expect. The best experience of course was going to La Duree. We had the most gorgeous hot chocolate and the most amazing dessert I’ve ever even looked at. I bought a box of macarons that came in this gorgeous box that I will keep forever and ever! Paris is the perfect romantic city!

I’ve spotted a few adorable things online today, so thought I’d share!
I’m not a HUGE mushroom fan, but this journal and plume pen set is so cute!
We’ve already got the titanic and space invaders tray now I need more! These tiki heads would be perfect for silly luau parties.
This is so adorable!!!! Lollipop brooch, why didn’t I think of that?
This is so exciting! I’ve always loved with Jane Austen’s pride and prejudice, and this book puts you right in it! its silly, but totally cute!
This is definitely on my wish list for Christmas, actually I might have to go out and by one BEFORE then!
Its getting mighty cold London now, so I’m in need of a good little milk pan, this one looks perfect!
Got to go now, home time! x
