Happy Valentines Day


Can’t believe we are half way through February already, where has that time gone?  Apologies for the inexcusable lack of blogging, mostly because I have been snowed under with uni work and partly because I couldn’t trust myself to make too many yummy treats as I’m still fighting my hideous sweet cravings after letting my guard down at Christmas!!

December was a busy month with Christmas cake pop orders and a 60th Birthday with a musical theme.  Unfortunately I made the mistake of not taking my camera to the function so only managed to get one half decent shot of the cake with a borrowed camera!

Speaking of Cameras…Father Christmas came up trumps, I got my wish; a beautiful Canon DSLR 1100D.  We had a wonderful Christmas just the 4 of us at home which we have not done before.  These are a couple of my favourite pics taken with my new camera on Christmas morning!
I am really looking forward to experimenting and being brave enough to venture away from the automatic setting!  On Boxing Day, we went to visit some good friends of ours Seamus and Lisa and their beautiful daughter Orla; who live in Northumberland.  I was keen to show off my new camera only to find that Lisa’s Brother Ray (also visiting) just happens to be a Photographic Journalist!  Thanks for the impromptu training session and advice Ray.  I think it will be a while before I can get a shot like the one he casually took of Tamsin playing the piano.


Another busy weekend with a Sponge Bob Square Pant party (blog to follow) and of course I couldn’t let Valentines pass me by! (Even though it doesn’t seem to feature on the Bradford Calendar!) If you’re reading this my Valentine "Happy Valentines Day to you ‘Mal Hopping’ somewhere!!"

I love a Love Heart!!
Happy Valentines Day x
