New

 

The past few weeks have been hectic as we have been working hard redecorating our bedroom. What was supposed to only be an easy weeks work turned out to be a complete overhaul.
Our bedroom hadn't been decorated for nearly 10 years, was a very bright pink and certainly needed updating. Poor Dan has lived in a pink bedroom for nearly 4 years!

We decided on a green colour scheme with cream accents. The carpet and curtains are beautiful and look lovely against the green walls. We replaced our bed (thank goodness!) and added a beautiful antique mirror and found a new chair at a local vintage shop.

We decided to store a lot of the things from our shelves, keeping out only our DVD collection (far too important to put away!) and a few books that we hadn't yet read/finished, making our shelves free for photographs and keepsakes.

Our bedroom is now so peaceful and tranquil, far from the busy and vibrant state it was in before. It took weeks but was well worth it :)

Radiator

Easyfits on the radiator, winter drying!

A taste of things to come!

Well this morning, we got up and went out, to a eco-fair at De Montfort University called The Green Light Festival. It was a really nice day, pleasant and not too cold, so because parking is a 'mare around there, we parked near my old house and walked down. It was nice little fair, we met some lovely people and I took home a fist full of leaflets! 

I finally met some of the people putting together the Steiner School in Leicester, which I am hoping Louie will attend. There is a playgroup starting on Friday which we need to rearrange our current plans to accommodate. We didn't stay long, but we did get some really helpful information about growing veggies and about veg boxes, both of which I have been looking into!

So when we got home, Louie went to play in the garden. He just absolutely loves being outside. He inspected every single stone and pebble out there, and gave the crusty, dead plants a good going over!

Then it turned a bit grey so we came in. Just as it started to rain, we settled down with blanket and monkey and we both fell asleep watching Toy Story 2.

A lovely family Saturday!
