Too soon for Christmas?

I've thought about Christmas three times today... it's only August! After the rain poured and poured and the grey skies got darker and darker, my mid drifted to autumn and then winter... snuggly clothes, fur scarves, snow filled skies and cashmere cardigans. Maybe this year we'll be part of the icy mornings, I'll ride my bike around the frosty gardens? Rushing into our warm home, candles burning, hot vimto we can drink!

It had disappeared off the plate too quickly to snap,

so here is one that was made earlier, in some other household...

I did get the thumbs up from my family, in fact, I even

got a "hou sik" from the eldest family member!

Definitely worth the three hours of cooking

I am a housewife and I like it

Colour makes people happy

Last week it was Leo, this week it is London that get's my love.

After a long weekend in the capital, celebrating sister's birthday, shopping, eating, drinking and dancing, we stumbled across a lovely enchanting place! I have since spent my time, trying to explain just what this special shop/studio/home really is. All I can say is that I loved this space, as soon as I saw the colourful clogs hanging on the walls and dangling from the ceilings (as aeroplanes) I was hooked. The beautiful bicycle parked up outside also threw it for me!

In we went to be greeted by an array of clogs, everyone a different colour, every pot of paint you could imagine, some made from milk, some were magnetic and my favourite one "dog biscuit" (as it was that exact colour).

Personal wall papers, each designed specifically for a client (one girl is opening a bike shop so has her very own bicycle wall paper), red telephone boxes, the double decker bus, all typically English things.

Another thing I loved were the birds sitting on top of buildings, perched on TV ariels, these too were wall papers.

We even got a sneeky look through the door, where we got a little tour of the rest of the building that went on for what felt like forever. A striped blue narrow path way that opened up into an arched space (currently under renovation). The transformation of a new kitchen space was AMAZING! Bright colours, little arch ways, tiny windows, 50s kitchenette.

I LOVED IT ALL.

I definitely recommended a visit to this place, they specialise in eco-friendly paint by Dofine, but do so much more too!

love for Leo

The last two films I have seen, starring Leonardo, I have loved. Last night I went to see Inception. It was truly great. I left the cinema dying to get home, so I could fall asleep and enter into my own dream world.

Shutter Island is the other of the two, this I also loved, maybe even more. The twists at the end, the worlds that you're pulled into for over 90 minutes...

Some people are complaining that Leo's last two characters have been somewhat similar, but the stories surrounding these performances play out in totally different ways.

Yep! Both of those films get a thumbs up from me!

Here are some clips...

New favorite song

After a fun-filled day, dancing, talking and eating some nice food. Returning home, Fleetwood Mac on the record player, dancing continued into Saturday morning.

Next morning I woke to this song on the radio, similar to Fleetwood Mac, deliciously sweet sounding. So I started dancing again.

I like dancing

I love this song
