Hi I'm Jill and I'm married to MarkT. I have 3 grown up sons and 3 small grandaughters. I was a dressmaker for around 25 years in my former life. Now I work on the main reception in a private hospital and enjoy a bit more free time.

Long Family Weekend
For the first time in a year I actually got all my sons to visit on the same weekend! It was fabulous, the weather wasn't too bad, positively nice on the Sunday. For those of you not in the UK, it's seems to have been cold wet and windy here for weeks, even though we have a drought order in Sussex! We all had the best time and with 3 little grandaughters to play with there was so much fun and laughter.
They are 2 actors, 2 teachers and a musician, so it was a very noisy weekend with everyone trying to get themselves heard! They were all very sweet about my taking photos every five minutes, (well I had to make the most of it)! We ate a ton of food and drank a fair bit too much wine, went for walks in the country and had lazy breakfasts with coffee and eggy bread .... All too soon it was Monday they were all on their way home. And afterwards? I must admit Mark and I just crashed out in front of the telly exhausted.
Hi there everyone, I know, bad blogger, but there are times when there just isn't enough time! Today is NOT one of those times. Today I do have work but with spaces inbetween so I decided to make the effort. Southend was fab, meeting friends as well as watching Mikey and C C who were all amazing with their perfomances. And the weather was kind too, what more could you ask for? So what else have I been up to, well this and that, working of course which has been busy, it's the moving season. Trying to decorate, I now know there are at least 1000 variations of palest cream/ivory/magnolia/white !!!! But I finally found the right one ( I think? )Also trying to set up the garden for now and future summers with climbing roses and clematis, I need to soften the boundries so that they become part of the woods beyond, but keep us sheltered as well. It's only a small space and so far hasn't ever been planted apart from grass so I have to start from scratch, which is good really as I get to choose everything, but it does look a bit bare right now. The weather has been lovely lately so we've also been out and about to see friends and family, celebrated my grandaughters Maisies 1st birthday, and had a great day when my mum came to visit recently.Now I want to introduce you to my niece Alice who has just launched her new card company,The Little Acorn Company. They produce beautiful personal stationery for all occasions, please take a look at her website; www.littleacorncompany.com and see what they do!
