Hello all.
I haven't blogged in a very long time. I have however continued with a photo a day and as long as I don't forget tomorrow will have completed the year.
I don't think I will do photo a day next year purely because it is hard to find things to capture when working full time in and office.
The last few months have passed in a whirlwind. I am well settled into my new job now.
I have decided my new years resolution next year is to make at least one new recipe out of every one of my cook books. I have over 30 books so this will be a fun challenge. I may well try and blog each recipe too.
This is only a short post but better than no post at all. Happy New Year everyone.

Why I should have listened to my Dad when he told me not to put whole potatoes on the compost heap because they would grow.

One of the benefits of decent sized boobs. If you lean back slightly you can rest your cuppa on there.

A general update.
Hello.
I do apologise for only photo a day updates lately. I started a new job 6 weeks ago and have been very busy. I am really enjoying my new job which is great.
I have just signed up for 2 half marathons and paid for my London Marathon ill/injured place so am going to try and run on a regular basis. My gym membership has just expired as I no longer work for the gym company. I am going to try over the summer to go for bike rides and run outside to save money.
I have the Fleetly app on my phone so have joined lots of challenges which are great for motivation.
This weekend was the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. Yesterday we had a barbecue to celebrate which was fun. I have watched the other festivities on tv but I kind of wish I had gone to one of the events. If not the national than a local one. I have decided next time there is something big on I will go.
This week I don't have many plans except making macarons for the first time on Saturday. If anyone has any tips please do share them. I will probably also be doing the odd garden job. I am growing lots of fruit and veg this year :)
Have a good week everyone.

My painted nails. Now I have an office job I figured they were less likely to get chipped so I'd paint them every now and then.

This was a Saturday and there is barely anyone around in the area I work on a weekend. As it was lovely weather I had lunch outside and this was my view.

The photo was of my Mum's birthday cards and presents. However I realised afterwards that our address would possibly be visible and as the pic is on my phone I'm not sure how to crop this bits out so am not uploading the picture.

2 tomato plants that I planted within seconds of each other that have been kept in the same conditions. One is twice as big as the other. I repotted then last week and have the bigger one a bigger pot. They already look like they could do with potting on again.
