Good morning
Can't wander too far this morning as I am awaiting a bulky shopping delivery and don't want to miss the knock on the door!
Well lots of last week was testing to say the least - life is certainly a roller coaster ride and many times last week I just wanted to get off as I wasn't enjoying it.
However I am a lucky girl and have a fab family and some truly wonderful friends who are being very supportive at the moment and are there with hugs and tissues when I turn into a snotty blubbing mess (again).
Hardly the right start for a happy post!! However despite everything there have been happy moments that I have managed to capture on camera and here they are;
1) It was my birthday on Friday and I was thoroughly spoilt - as I was planning a party on Saturday we just had French Fancies as a cake for Friday. I thought we'd just eat them but Big Son insisted they were arranged on a pretty plate and that I had a candle to blow out!
2) This was my cake for Saturdays party - I made it and Little Son iced it with a thick layer of chocolate ganache and then decorated it with a mini-egg flower - serious chocolate overload but very tasty.
3) This is my baby sisters dog - Lula. I went to visit last week and Lula was so pleased to see me - she loves visitors. As you can see whilst she stayed still for a photo, her tail did not!! Still no baby news - hopefully sometime this week I get to be an Auntie - I will know roughly when as I am dog sitting!!
4) New boots for Morris Dancing and my first stick - they sit in the hallway behind my desk and every time I look at them I smile. Thinking of dancing out days this summer and several weekends at festivals with new friends and old.
I am struggling with blogging at the moment and I owe so many people replies and I am behind with my reading too. Bear with me, I will get back into it properly - in the words of Chumbawamba - "I get knocked down but I get up again, You're never gonna keep me down."
See you soon

Aw chin up Vicki, hope you're ok Sweetie ... put on your green bicycle dress, that'll cheer you up! Happy belated birthday, though I did 'talk' to you on Instagram, please take it easy, and come back when you're ready, we'll all be here waiting! Little secret, I'm struggling with blogging obligations at the moment, worried I'm not mentioning someone and offending them, forgetting to mention giveaways, swaps, awards etc, I hate to let anyone down, but we're only human Vicki, and real life gets priority! Have a well-deserved rest, Vicki, you've had a lot of changes, sorry for rambling, I'll go before i completely take over ....
Love Claire xxx
sending a massive virtual (but still good) hug your way VV!

Hi Vicki
Big hugs flying your way. I know what it's like when life becomes rather testing and big changes are afoot....but trust me things do get sorted in the end and life just flows along a different path than you envisaged before. If it's any consolation I'm so delighted now that those changes happened...was just difficult at the time.
Hope to catch up with you soon
