What beauty.

I just wanted to show the colour & texture of the magnolia flower's leaves. They are this vibrant, glossy green on the top side ...... but then this soft, rustic, velvety brown on the underside. Nature is a wonderous thing!!!

This is the flowers on the second day. The petals have started to change from their pure soft white to this antiqued, distressed look & colour. Just beautiful to see.

So I hope you have enjoyed these few posts.

Thinking I may need a nana nap real soon, Coco will have a little shut eye in the car on the way home & same to Susy travelling in the car today also. So bye for now.

luv me xxooxx

Laughs, love & LOUD!!!!!

What a fab couple of pics!!!

We got to experience ALL of the above after a fabulous meal at the chinese restaurant.

Susy joined us for a laugh & drink after our lovely meal. Thanks so much to Bren for letting Susy  'come & play' with us, especially considering it was your BIRTHDAY!!! We appreciate your generosity!! We were able to spend time together where we talked, laughed, got a little serious, hugged, laughed some more, caught up on things, talked some more and laughed til we nearly wet our pants!!! hee hee

It was a great night & we apologise for maybe being a little grumpy today due to lack of sleep!!!

But before I sign off on this post ....... I have to mention the SHOES of Princess Coco!! Bling & sexy!!!! How cute are these pair of balck little heels??? And for the price ..... well what more can I say??!!!!

So cheers again for now.

luv me xxooxx

Magnolias

This is a snap shot of beautiful magnolia flowers we discovered yesterday on our travels. I can't exactly tell you where or how we got these in our hands ........ as then I would have to kill you !!! ha ha

But they are just magnificent and we could not leave our location without bringing some home with us to enjoy. hee hee The size of the flower is quite large & the texture and smell of them just awesome!!!We took many photos of them while we had them in tip top condition to savour the moment. While we were taking the pics, I was so lucky to capture this wonderful image of Christina!!! Love you gorgeous & this is just so cute!! Yes I will send o copy to you as it is a good one.

We had a great day yesterday & thank you for this time we were able to spend together.

Cheers for now.

Hello 2010, we're home.

Hi everyone!!!
Welcome to the new year!!
Hope you all had a wonderful time with family & friends over the festive season.
We are home from our holiday by the seaside. Yes ..... back to reality!!
We had the best time. Fab weather, great times with family & friends and so many laughs!!!
This is me and Joe at robe pub having lunch. Walks along the beach ..... what more could one want????

Big 'Harry Snapper'!! Yum. This is one of the fish the boys did manage to catch.

Yep .... you got it!! My beautiful Chloe girl was there enjoying the beach with us for some of the time. Isn't she just so cute & so good!!

Just one of the wonderful views while we were there. Look at that water. Just fabulous.

Well that's just a snippet of what I enjoyed over my 10 days at the beach. Just thought I would share a few pics with you all for now.

Things are all packed away and I've got the washing going. Yes ... sadly, back to the real world all too soon.

Oh well, I do need to get back into routine & see what 2010 has in store for me.

Looking forward now to a visit from my darling Princess Coco in a few weeks time.

Hotel Mudge is back on track, open & ready for business baby!!! hee hee hee

Well cheers for now.
