Ben went fishing one day last week and he gave our neighbour some fresh fish. She in turn gave us a bunch of plun (bananas). That's the Norfolk way!

And yes, that's an eclectic pile of books! I have to do a First Aid course this week, a full day course, eeeeek (NOT BY CHOICE). Me and First Aid DON'T go together! I can't even look at a packet of band-aids without feeling squeamish!!! 

I've been using Primal Pit Paste for a while now and I find it works really well, even in Summer. But it's hard to source and at over $20 a jar, I was keen to make my own.  My sister-in-law shared her natural deodorant recipe with me and I finally put it to the test last weekend. It was super easy to make and I like it even better than the one I was buying!

And before you accuse me of being a little keen in the Christmas department, I can explain. In a few weeks I'll be visiting family in Oz. I'm taking presents with me so I don't have to post them later in the year. I'm feeling a bit smug with my efforts to be honest ha ha! I'll be sitting back with my feet up come December!!

Have a nice week Lovelies!

weekends are made for...

...time in the hammock, bed-hair and daggy clothes, breakfast on the deck, yoga classes, play dates, sleep-overs, rescue training, slow cooker meals, walks on the beach, buying veg at the markets and watching a movie! Can we do it all again?
