Valentines Day

So it is soon to be Valentines Day, the day to declare your love to the subject of your desires. 

Well not for me! I have instructed my husband not to waste any money on Valentines Day this year. So am I total miser - you decide!  I just feel that Valentines Day is commercial clap trap designed by card company's to make a killing.  If you want to buy flowers they are twice the price or if you want to go for a meal (if you can even get a table) everywhere is packed out with an expensive Valentines menu on offer.  It is not that I have no romance but I would far rather my husband sent me a card to tell me he loves me just because the urge takes him, not because society tells him he should.  If a bunch of flowers happen to land on my desk for no reason other than to remind me how much he loves me that feels so much more genuine.

So what are your thoughts - is my romance dead or am I right to take a stand against commercialised love?

I love Chocolate

After reading a magazine article my niece recently told me about possibly the best website ever and I feel I have a duty to share this with you all. www.choccywoccydoodah.com has the most amazing looking creations on there EVER – fact.

I have been desperately thinking of events to justify one of these cakes. It is only 3 months to my birthday so I figure I NEED one for that... right! I am not sure that I could justify the solid chocolate skull to go with it though and since I am so in love with that I am going to have to keep patiently waiting until Halloween!!!

Revisit to Blogging

I have not blogged for a while as my interest in it seems to have faded away.  Today however as part of my job I spent the afternoon with a graphic design agency and have been inspired.  So I have decided to start making more of an effort with my  blogging and come up come up with some interesting thoughts for you all to contemplate.

I have lots of interesting things coming up this year and I am going to share my journey with you so expect scuba diving, tattoos, UK holidays, a new baby (not mine), house hunting and lots of gigs (including my first proper festival experience!).

Assuming of course I remember to include you all on my journey....
