Baking + Kenny = Cakes

When you are content to be simply yourself and don't campare or compete, everyone will respect you" Lao Tzu

Welcome to the weekend!

I woke up and couldn't get back to sleep.

The sun was coming up ↗↗↗

 Downstairs I went...

Loaded up the Dishwasher and put it on...

 I listened to "Sounds of the 60s"

 While I wrote two blog posts...

I just had to singalong with a great song that was being played on the radio...

Now for some marmite↓

 Hubby got up,

Had a nice big 💋 from him..

Later on hubby took our kids to their boxing lessons..

I meanwhile, started to play with Kenny..

 with coffee.

 I made a spare cake↓

(Half of it will be going over to my father in law on Monday)↓

 I put Kenny to bed.

I was asked, "Why I didn't go to the Tardebigge Church Fete?"

"I was making cakes for a good friend instead!"I replied.

Now for some tea↓

(A nice German meal from Lidl)↓

 We then watched:

We caught up with the news,

Then I fell asleep....

I woke up↓

Time for bed!

 

 

  

Back On The Road...

What a surprise I wakes up really early on a Saturday morning!

Just in time to hear "Sounds of the 60s" on Radio 2.

We enjoy a nice cup of tea listening to it.

At 8.30 it was time to wake up the kids!

"Wakey Wakey!"

After they had their breakfast and got changed..

We were out of the house...

Road Trip Time!

 Let's hope we don't have a windy problem like last time I wore the dress!

 Off we go....

 First we got some great things from the monthly sale by the Droitwich Lions↓

 We moved the car to the long stay car park.

Nice to see the church on the hill again

We finished putting the pictures over the bed, and 

got a new bed spread to go over the duvet↓

 We nearly have finished sorting out our bedroom.

Just waiting for one other item...

My spare curtains arrived as well↓

 I caught up with my blog...

Until I saw the time....↓

Hubby was fast asleep when I got to bed...

Now to test my new earplugs!
