so this is me...


" What shall I rabbit on about today ? "



umm...



Hi Bloggy mates !
This is where I sit & talk to you.
It's also where I do my crafty bits.
It is the hub of the house.

I always wanted a kitchen like this-
children doing their homework
in the kitchen
while I cook....
conversations round the table 
over big pots of food
and several bottles of vino ! 

When we bought a new kitchen table,
a sparkler from Jess's birthday cake
fell onto the table & left a burn mark.
I was so upset,
but my friend quickly said,
" Penny is the first of many
happy memory scars
around this table "


sometimes I do  wonder though,
                                            what it would be like to have one of those kitchens
                                                             they advertise on the telly !




Sigh...

So  showed you mine...
( photo of me where I Blog )

I actually like this photo...
umm wonder if I could airbrush out ...

the washing up liquid bottle !

HAPPY  VALENTINES DAY

    See me in all my varied colours (Quite literally) we think we have pressed something on the camera by mistake and the colour setting has gone a bit strange.

  4. PS

    I have just visited the blog that you originally posted when requesting our photos. On that blog you clearly stated today was your birthday. Did I see it - did I forget?? who knows but SORRY. My children have given up on me already. I walk around in a fog of hormones. Plus it is so wet here I think my brain is leaking.

    Just call me foggy - not Frodo.

  5. That's so funny. I just posted pics of me on my blog but believe me, they're not very nice at all. I've just had some skin cancer surgery. If you look please remember that normally I wear makeup for pictures published out to the whole wide world (and no bandages).

  13. Dear Penny, Happiest of Birthdays to you - I wish I was organised enough to have arranged a pass into sons room where blogging takes place but sadly, I cannot get one unless he's out these days! So sadly, no photo. May this year be filled with wonders for you. (love the story about your table scar!) Lotsa love, Pen x

    You look like monkey
    And I'm glad I'm not you!

    Ahhh! What a tune. So retro and so touching!

    I love your idea of a kitchen far better than the ones you see on the TV, so stick with it gal!

    It's fabulous seeing where you blog, I will happily return the favour if you let me know where to send the pic to.

    P.S. Hope you got loads of expensive pressies!

  23. Hi! I came over from Nathalie's blog and the two of you have now inspired me to post a photo from where I blog too! This is fun. It's nice to meet you!

  24. Oh, and if you had one of those advertised kitchens you would feel like you had to spend all your time keeping it clean and there would be no time to blog or to enjoy those kids around the table!
