This time next week...

Short post today, not saying a lot as I am just too excited.  
This time next week I will be travelling up to see my sister for the night (actually I am doing her filing!?).  
Then the following day I will be off to Paris for 4 days!!!

EEK!

Really?....It's March already?

I can't believe it is March already.  Not only that it, is the 2nd of March!

Work has been busy and the weather has been a little grey recently so we haven't ventured out that much. 

I did however have a lovely girlie weekend with my 3 friends up in Manchester last week.  It was a belated Christmas Party that we were supposed to do in December when we had all the snow, also it was my Travel buddy's birthday on the 16th (another reason for a cocktail)....OH and my other friend finished Chemo and Radiotherapy just after New Years - so all in all, many cocktails were prescribed!

We started out at a Champagne bar called Epernay where we had a couple of very nice cocktails and some olives!  I say started - M and I had already consumed a Kir Royal at her house getting ready...but ssshhhh!  

I tried a new cocktail called a Polish Princess (it was yummy and had three blueberries skewered on a cocktail stick...but I can't for the life of me remember what was in it....Ginger, Vodka....and then it all gets a little vague)


From there we walked a little ways to Room... the food was good, but the music was too loud and it was all just a bit "I am here to be seen" kinda style... not really my thing.  But we had a laugh giving out our Secret Santa gifts in Feb!  Here I had a couple of Cosmo's...I was missing the Polish Princess though....yep you guessed it, after dinner we ventured back to Epernay (and got VERY wet on the way as it had started lashing it down)  All in all a LOVELY night.  On the Saturday M and I hit the Trafford Centre in style for a spot of retail therapy and met C for lunch too!  I have to say since moving to Cornwall, large shopping malls are a little overwhelming, but I managed a few purchases!

Apart from that - not a lot.  We have had a few nice afternoons weather wise, and Marleyman has cleaned the greenhouse and started the first lot of seeds!  

Take Care

Back from Boston...and Lemon Cupcakes

Well - I am back from Boston....and my luggage eventually followed! It was great - lots of shopping, eating and the consumption of Cosmo's. The weather was HOT HOT HOT and VERY humid too. Our last day was particularly hot so we headed up to Marblehead and had lunch in the harbour there.

So this week I have been catching up. Today I did a little baking:

Oh the weather outside is frightful....

I don't really have "snow days" due to my office being next door to our bedroom ;) However, we did take a few mins to build these guys today before our snow melts away. It was PERFECT snowman building snow - very "sticky".

Just thought I would really just pop on to wish everyone a Happy New Year before it gets to June and it would seem inappropriate!?

I have just found out that I am due to go to Germany next week - my flight is booked from Bristol so now all I have to do is get there on Monday!!?!!...and presuming the airport is open of course!!

Wish me luck...EEK
