Life at Sylvan House: August 2014
http://lifeatsylvanhouse.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 26 August 2014. Blackberry Bread and Butter Pudding. August Bank Holiday Monday and it rained solidly all day. A proper pudding sort of day. Inspired by Laura's growforagecook. Post I had intended to go and pick blackberries from the brambles down by the railway. Nobody was keen to go out in the rain, so I got some blackberries out of the freezer instead. 12 slices brioche buttered and cut into triangles. 2 tbsp caster sugar. 1 drop rose water. Tin evaporated milk 410g. Links to this post. Summe...

A colourful life: August reading
https://christinascolourfullive.blogspot.com/2015/08/august-reading.html
Monday, 3 August 2015. I can't quite get my head around writing about our holiday, mostly because I am unable to decide where to start. Writing about books seems like a good displacement activity. You may remember that my chosen book for July was 'A Crime In The Neighborhood'. So much for being adventurous and choosing a book that would not normally be my first go-to. I listened to a crime novel, 'A Dark Secret'. By Michael Hjorth and Hans Rosenfelt. Novels. This month I read both 'The Edible Woman'.

Tuesday, 30 June 2015. Thank you for all the comments on my last Five on Friday post and I am sorry that I didn't get to reply to you all, it was such a busy weekend! I will be round to visit and catch up with you soon. We went to visit our good friends who live in Norwich, Norfolk for the weekend. It is a fair way from Derbyshire, just under four hours. Luckily the kids are good travellers, except for the last bit of the journey where they got very fidgety. We liked this patchwork dragon! On Sunday, we ...

Monday, 29 September 2014. Just to say that I'm back from my weekend away in Germany, my friends and I had a fab time in Bonn. I need to do a bit of sorting out at home first, the washing pile is the size of the North face of the Eiger - then I'll tell you all about it! Links to this post. Friday, 26 September 2014.

Life at Sylvan House: June 2014

Saturday, 28 June 2014. Reasons to be Cheerful. During the week whilst in the supermarket, I struck up a conversation with a lady in the checkout queue. She remarked that she'd spotted me busily crossing things off my list and I replied that I like to be organised with having a busy life and three primary school aged children. She said her children had grown up and left home and "enjoy it while it lasts, dear.". 3 A delightful sunny morning walk with three lovely friends. Round the reservoir and a sc...

A colourful life: it has been a long week
https://christinascolourfullive.blogspot.com/2015/08/it-has-been-long-week.html
Friday, 14 August 2015. It has been a long week. Friday sneaked up on my quite suddenly. I am glad to sit on my yellow armchair, feet on the footrest. I wish I could say I have a Margarita to my side but I don't. Nothing extraordinary happened all week, I haven't made anything and I haven't taken any photos apart from the one above, and a few more. Still, there is always something worthwhile remembering:. We had a sunny day. Yes, an entire day of sun. Talking of the dog, Jack has first birthday this week...
