When I started this blog I promised myself that it would be a weblog of our family times together, for us to record our time together in our new home in Devon and to look back on every now and again and say; "Gosh look how lovely the weather was then"..."Look how young they looked"........."Oh, wasn't that the best ever day"............................................As I explained at the end of my old blog, for those of you that knew it, this blog I'm sure, could appear quite self indulgent with picture after picture of my family, but that is what it is for, so I apologise if my posts are sometimes a little repetitive.
I never intended for this blog to really be read by others, but it's lovely to see that some of you have chosen to follow my life, it somehow makes the hours and hours spent uploading photos worth it. If it gives anyone ideas for day trips, holidays etc, etc, then that's all good, and if you live outside the UK as I know a couple of you do then it shows you just how beautiful this country can be and prove it's not all grey and rainy days!!!
Sometimes though as a blogger you see something, buy something or are given a lovely gift and you just know that fellow bloggers would love it to don't you? You just want to share. So as well as my family journal every now and again I like to throw a new purchase (or two) in to show you, after all I am a semi-professional shopper!!

A few weeks back, my kind mother presented me with this wonderful book and I just HAD to share it with you, but as time is short today and these pictures are taking an age to upload I shall show you a few today and a few tomorrow. I'm sure you'll love it as much as I do!! I LOVE making cupcakes, I love eating cupcakes but I certainly don't love the inches they have added to my waistline, so I shall take my time working through the book or I may be the size of a house by Christmas!!!!!!!!!
For anyone that knows (or is) a keen gardener this would be worth a go....It would also be great for a Garden Party.
A close encounter of the cupcake kind!!
The Big Top.....................Looks easy, maybe I'll make two!!!
Turn all those funny family quirks into quirky family cupcakes..................
The perfect bring-along for a baby shower or for a new mother.................
Score a strike when you serve these at a bowling party.........
For the more traditional amongst you.....
A different idea for an Easter cake......The Easter Bunny jumping down a rabbit hole.
Something for a teenage party perhaps???
My favourite....Sunflowers with Oreo centres...Mmmm.
And how cute are these fellows?...........
Almost as cute as these..........I hope some of these have given you a few ideas, I just had to share! More to follow tomorrow.
Have a lovely day.
