Taking a break
I'm taking a blogging break for the time being. I'm not sure exactly when I will be back. I'm still around reading all of your lovely blogs, but for now I just need a break from mine. I really want to go back to how I started my blog which was as a place to show my creativity and homemaking. I can assure you that there will definitely be a lot more of that going on again soon, especially as I have a new home in Oxfordshire, but for now I am enjoying happiness in my personal life to a level that I have never felt before. I have lots of settling in to do and a trip to Paris to take in the coming weeks so I'm going to be pretty busy. I will be back I promise, but it may be as much as a month. I'm just not sure. And when I come back perhaps I will feel ready to share a little more with you about the wonderful man who has totally changed my life.
In the mean time, please take a slice of cake, freshly baked just for you. Lemon sponge with raspberry jam and cream! See you soon my lovely blogging friends. xxxx


Here's to a happy Fiona, 'cheers' with a big slice of cake!

Good your life is good now and you have a new home. Oxfordshire is an amazing beauty.

Happy bloging break, it all sounds so esciting, a new Home and a trip to Paris and a new man. I look forward to hearing about it when you return, and your home amking. I thought of you as I said to you ages ago I could not wait to get my sewing machine out and start sewing or something like that. I have finally started some sewing projects, some bunting shaped pelmets and a captain rupert bunny out of felt.Its not on my blog yet but will be soon. Please tell us about Paris I have been nagging K about a Paris trip for ages.

Thank you, thank you wonderful girl for all your sweet loving words!!!
And I am so happy to hear that you have found the Love of your life, you deserve truly all the best. This is all so very exciting, a new man a new location. I am so looking forward to hear more about it all when you are coming back. And a trip to Paris!!! It can`t be any romantic than that! :))
Please forgive me for not responding earlier, but as you can see I have a bit much to do myself. Not everything is sold though, but a quite a bit of it. It makes me so happy to see that people want to decorate their home with what a I make :))
Take really good care of yourself Nonnie, do enjoy your days a lot and don`t hesitate to send me an e-mail!
