Bracelet & Charm C/O Links of London
I am a huge fan of Links of London, and I also enjoy the odd afternoon tea too which I’m sure you have figured from my Blog already. So when I got the chance to receive something from the Afternoon Tea Range with Links of London AND indulge in a little bit of cake, it was quite possibly written in the stars. How could one possibly turn down the offer?
Martin House is a wonderful place, it does wonderful things for wonderful people. It’s a place that families can go to when their terminally ill children need more support than the family can give them, whilst it’s a harrowing decision for most this place is a great unit that provides love & care in the last few months of these precious lives. I’m always dropping bags and bags of clothes off at our local Martin House charity shop, so when Branded3 got in touch to say they were holding a Martin House #B3CharityRevamp event I was in.
There’s something so wonderful about exploring the local land. Whilst most of us dream of jetting across the waters to distant destinations, sometimes it’s quite nice to explore our own territory. Plus, where else can you get a good cup of tea other than in the UK? I was so lucky as a child to travel up and down the country with my Grandparents on holiday, my fondest memories were those spent in our static caravan in Sewerby near Bridlington though. We’d pack up the car on a Friday night after school and head up the A64 to the fresh sea air. We’d have late night fish & chips for our first supper on the promenade, with a quick walk round the amusements, pop in to the little book shop so I could pick an Enid Blyton short story book & then finish off with my favourite; a mint choc chip ice cream. It was so easy.
For those who don’t know I am the monthly chat host of #HappySelves on Twitter. This is a once-monthly takeover of the wonderful #HealthySelves chat. I pick a topic that is light-hearted and upbeat and we all just chat away like we would with friends over coffee. It’s so lovely to have a chat on Twitter where there’s never an argument, everyone plays nice and we are also a support network for those who aren’t necessarily feeling 100% with themselves.
I love animals, I love my dog to the ends of the earth and pretty much any other animal I come in to contact with. I’m one of those saps that watches Paul O’Grady For the Love of Dogs with tears in my eyes, proclaiming ”I just want to bring them all home and love them and care for them.” You know this, because you’ve probably been there too. That’s why you are reading this post about the RSPCA Cake Off Challenge. Great, I’m glad we have some common ground. I was asked to bake a cake. As wife to a Farmers Son you probably have the image that for most of the day I’m holed up in the kitchen baking cookies and creating mammoth cakes every day, well quite the contraire. By day I work in digital experiences for Events so you could not be further from the truth. So when I was asked to do it I was like ”Yeah sure, I’ll do my best.” Secretly I thought ”Oh Crap!” but ever one to turn down a challenge I was ready to go full steam ahead!
