So then, thoughts on the new design? I admit I haven't had time to play around with it properly yet but as the old one disappeared on Friday and I didn't want to leave the poor blog looking forlorn and blank, I've chucked this one together for now. It should hopefully allow for bigger photos which I've been trying to sort out for a while now. I'm sure tweaks will be made shortly but any comments on it are very welcome.
The lovely Eilidh gave me this award last week and I have to list 10 things I like. So, in no particular order, here goes:
1) Old houses, especially Georgian ones.
2) Pratting about with friends
3) Dales ponies
4) Children's books
5) Taking photos of my feet
6) The occasional afternoon of alcofrolics
7) Flowers, especially sweet williams and freesias.
8) Cats
9) Wandering around towns and discovering unexpected things
10) Henry Cavill
And I tag anyone else that wants to do it.
Cats and fuchsias are two of my favourite things, so that photo pleases me.
ReplyDeleteAs for the layout, much cheerier and more you!
I love those flowers! And the layout is very pretty (first time visitor here so I don't know what it looked like before)
ReplyDeleteFabulous new layout, Alex and I'd love you to join me in our Georgian house for an afternoon of alcofrolics, pratting around and cat fancying.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the award and I loved The Devil's Cub. I'd quite like Vidal to carry me off in his chaise. xxx
The layout is much more brighter and clearer, really cheery too.

I love the new layout. It makes me feel like I'm sitting in a spring day =)
ReplyDeleteAbout cupcakes: I actually think they taste better than slices of cake. There is a better ratio of outside to side for my taste buds. Silly I know, but I'm big on flavor. I hardly ever eat out actually because I love my own cooking.
Alcofrolics has to be my favourite in this list. I think I have a slight problem... haha ;)
ReplyDeleteLove the new layout! x
lovely pics and i love the word alcofrolics! haha

What a great list! I have been obsessed with kids books lately... getting my list ready for when I have kids actually. Hahahaha. They are going to have the classics by Roald Dahl, Enid Blyton , Dr Suess... as well as a fun mix of flap books etc. I'm going to have a library for them :) What are your faves?
