We have a community shop on a Friday now at the local community centre. You get approximately £12.50 worth of food for £2.50. this last week's load. You get 4 items from store cupboard staples, 2 from the fridge, 1 from the freezer and a choice of cereals and random stuff. On the way out you can pick as much cake,bread fruit and veg as you like. I quite like the process including the tea and toast while you wait. It's certainly helping fill up my low supplies and coming in useful. Tonight I made chilli and had no kidney beans but had a tin of butter beans so pleased with the swop. Looking forward to tomorrow's visit.

I have a huge amount of embroidery threads so recently started some little cross stitch pictures. I found it quite calming but got a little engrossed. With Pinterest having soooo many free charts it would have been rude not to carry on. I also did a few rather nice lighthouse charts but they need a good press. I will now be haunting charity shops for small frames. Picked up 2 today for £1.49. 

Our little man is 8 today and was bursting with excitement all last night. Mummy took him too his favourite place - Blackpool for a few hours so he could go on a few rides and play on the beach. I'm just hoping they save me cake!

I'm a bad blogger, full of good intentions. Hopefully I can start posting regularly. It's garden time and my wee pear tree us full of blossom and promise.  This is its third year so let's hope it's a good year. I finally put my new greenhouse up, 2 years late but better now than never.
