Mother’s Day, also known as Mothering Sunday, is a bit of a mess isn’t it? I mean, no-one seems to know when it is going to be.
Which is pretty important if you want to get a good present for your mother, and to tell her you love her. After all, she’s the one [...]
Today I am going to write about how grumpy I feel. I like to call it crumply, that’s when you are grumpy for no particular reason and your face is a bit squinched up (yup squinched is another made-up-word that I like to use).
And no one is perfect, right? And all these perfect blogs are [...]
Don’t panic – I know the subject line of this blog post looks like we’ve been taken over by spammers.
But no, it’s true. You really can get yourself some free diamonds in time for Valentine’s Day – perfect if you need a romantic present that’s going to make a big impact on a low budget, [...]
No doubt many women will be getting chocolates on Valentine’s Day from secret (and some not so secret admirers). But in some parts of Asia it’s a slightly different story.
For instance, in Japan many women are obliged to give chocolates to all of their male co-workers on February 14th. This is known as giri-choko [...]
It’s a real dilemma when whenever you ask the man in your life what he would like for his birthday/Christmas/wedding anniversary he shrugs his shoulders and just says “I dunno”. That’s because there are some men who, at first glance, just seem to be impossible to buy for.
You know the sort – he’s settled [...]
Graham and I are off to the Cotswolds for the weekend, to Temple Guiting Manor to celebrate our friend Clive’s 40th birthday. It is a beautifully restored, Grade 1 listed Cotswold Tudor house.
The snow will make it all seem even more magical.
This weekend at Temple Guiting, I am on Friday night supper duty and in [...]
It seems that I spoke too soon. Oxford, home of Fabiola & Sing Sing, wasn’t hit hard earlier this week by the flurries of snow that struck much of the rest of the UK, and yesterday there was barely a speck of snow left on the ground.
Well, that’s all changed overnight and [...]
There’s a great article today on the BBC website all about the history of the “Keep Calm and Carry On” World War II poster.
As we’ve discussed before, the posters were produced on the eve of the war, but never displayed in public.
We’ve found that people don’t just love it as a poster, they enjoy seeing [...]
What a difference a day makes…
Looking out the window this morning, to find out that someone has stolen all the snow overnight, makes me think at first that maybe Caroline turned up the heat a little too far. :-)
We have this regular see-saw situation at Fabiola & Sing Sing where we disagree about how hot [...]
The snow has finally arrived here in the UK and I am so excited! I’m hoping there will be enough to make a snowman, okay a teensy-weensy snowman…
It makes me want to snuggle up on these cold nights with a good book or a lovely man (you know who you are!!!).
Whether you’re in love with [...]
