You know its Autumn

                                         When someone won't get up

I have had a busy week at school we had two art days which were fantastic I will post some pics next week
.
Thursday I had to give in to the pain in my hip and limped to the docs for a steroid injection. I am a bit dissapointed as it doesen't seem to have worked, has anyone else found this or does it take longer ?

Im thinking of having a go at making some of these

                                                               
                                 After watching on of my favourite cookery shows this morning

                                                                 

          I would have put a link but I'm still no good at it, I always end up with lots of strange letters and things, I'm sure it will be easy to get on to if your interested,  she makes such lovely receipes.
Have a good Sunday everyone bye for now

My tag reading list

This is my all time favourite, when I  was young I dreamt of going to a school like this, but would really have hated being away from home.
                                                  

                                        I always wanted to be a Ballerina sadly my legs didn't grow long enough but my daughter has realised my dream and has the legs :)
I loved The Bunty comic.
I could always be found on Boxing Day in my room with The Bunty Annual and a selection box, not much has changed really :)

                                                    Once my children arrived it was a good excuse to relive all these books

                                              I enjoyed reading all about Flopsy Mopsy and Cotton Tail and called one of my ducks Jemmima not very original I know.
                                         My taste in literature has changed a lot over the years and I'm more willing to try anything that catches my eye.

                                        My favourites which I re read every few years are these,
I have a passion for social history.

                                                                
                                                I have a copy of the film Hobsons Choice  staring John Mills it never fails to make me laugh.

                              This book I found in a charity shop it was rrp at £17:99 I paid 55p it was brand new. I like a challange and this  is a huge book to get through,  it's set in Victorian times which is why I bought it, boy did it make me blush a few times, I'm no prude but this is a bit racy to say the least, you have been warned :) that said it's compulsive reading.

                                               At the moment I'm reading this which I have borrowed from my favourite place the library.
                                                 

                                                            

 
                            Thats all for now  Happy reading cate x

   Hope your all having a good week Cate x
