Yoga

You're worth celebrating.
You are unique.
No one else could take your place.
You're worth celebrating.

That little message is for each and every one of you reading this.
This is one of the many reasons I love yoga - this was our chant last night.
I finished off with my favourite pose, plough...

So I feel great today.

Happy Friday!

Zoom Zoom

This little guy is a regular visitor to the Bs house. Meisha the cat goes crazy when he arrives in our garden. She yowls like you’ve never heard a cat yowl before. She runs up the stairs and madly dashes to our bedroom windowsill for a birds-eye view. A few seconds later she decides that won’t do and races downstairs to our living room windows to see the squirrel closer-up. Then she gets fed up again and the cycle continues… with lots of yowling in between the mad running. I’m quietly relieved she’s an indoor cat as I’d hate to see how the Meisha vs. squirrel fight would turn out.

I wonder how often Meisha dashes about while Mr B & I are out at work? I’d love to rig up a Meisha-cam and see what she gets up to when we’re out. Perhaps when the humans are away the cat will play… or perhaps she just snoozes?

These photos were taken with my new 135mm lens while I stood all the way away in our living room. Isn’t it fantastic?

Lap Cat

This cat...


Sat on my lap last night!!! Can you believe it?

The expanse of denim is my leg!!!

I'm still very excited about it, can you tell?

Special friends

This necklace is being worn by someone very special. She has travelled to Australia all on her own. She has not booked a return ticket (aaahhhh!) She is in Perth at the moment, the starting point of her great adventure. By the way, isn't her necklace just so pretty? I chose it! I love it.

Jem, I hope you and the pretty necklace are having the best time!! I can't wait to hear about all you've been up to! I miss you x

Savill Garden

Last Saturday I visited Savill Garden with Zoe. It was a crisp morning and there was hardly anyone else around. I used my new 28mm lens - I love it's perspective. Zoe and I found these fascinating, tiny mushrooms...

Even though the gardens were sparse don't you think they're also beautiful?

I just loved this pumpkin exhibition in the Temperate House. I wonder what they will have there for Christmas?

Unity

Mr B and I were reading in bed last night. Wonderful.



I am reading a wonderfully written, compelling book about Jewish partisans who harried German forces in eastern Europe by my favourite author, Primo Levi.

I gush regularly to Mr B about how much I love his writing (Primo that is, not Mr B, though Mr B can write very well too). I tell him what is happening in my book, wonderful words and phrases as I read them, and mostly how much I'm enjoying it.I don't mind if Mr B cares about what I'm saying, I just have to say it. I'm sure you know what I mean.

But Mr B never gushes about the books he reads, well apart from the Alistair Campbell diaries, but that's another story. I never know what his books are about, if he enjoys them, nothing.


So I last night I badgered him to tell me about his book. It's Enigma by Robert Harris, a Second World War mystery novel. He is loving it.


So there we lay, reading our World War II books - mine a story of resistance and Mr B's a story of the UK code breakers at Bletchley.


I never imagined that it would be my love of History that led me to my husband. I never imagined that I would share my interest so closely with someone.


Happy 6 month anniversary for yesterday Mr B!

Celebrate

Last week Mr B and I finally celebrated the evening that we took home our wedding album!!! We bought champagne and got some delicious Indian food from the Tigers Pad in Sunningdale.

Meisha was really intrigued by our food (as usual)

But soon realised I was on to her...

Carefully we looked through our album. It is truly beautiful and has such magical memories.

Definately worth the wait.
