Less is not more
Decking
Doesn't the decking look lovely?! It was a 30th birthday present from my pappa and stepmum, and my pappa and brother came over all the way from Sweden and laid it for us. Thank you so so much! Wish you all lived closer! xx

More finds at Handmade and Vintage Fair
Bought some gorgeous bunting made by the talented Henhouse; http://henhousehomemade.blogspot.com/ Might even attempt to make some myself for Esme's room now.
This reminds me of my farmor (granny) and I had to have it, she always used to have 7 different kinds of cakes on the table when we went round, home made of course. In the olden days it used to be tradition to offer your guests seven different types of cakes, maybe now I will become a proper housewife and bake all day!
Only one more thing to show from the fair now but I need to wait for dear husband to put it up on the wall first! Can you guess what it is?!
Vintage and Handmade Fair
I bought a few things and thought I would show them.
Vintage shoes lasts. Think they look sweet just standing on the stairs (ignore the state of the stairs, the decorating fairy hasn't got to them yet!)
Some sweet hair clips.
Hopefully will grow some lovely lettuce to accompany summer BBQ's.
Bought a few more lovely things but need to take photos of them tomorrow in better light before I show them on here.
I'm already excited about going to the Christmas one, I'm sure there will be loads of goodies!

You learn something new each day!
Just caught the end of Lambing Live and for some reason they were showing the birth of a baby cow. Well I didn't know that they do caesareans for cows! Apparently it is becoming more common too, just like in humans I guess. In cows this is due to the fact that we are breeding them so that they are "meatier" i.e. bigger calves which means that the mummy cows can't give birth to them naturally as easily. Isn't that really sad?
