We are almost at the end of March and I honestly don’t know where the weeks go!  I have been busy with our work, Eldest’s work, all the usual home jobs and Youngest has now started his own business too, just to add into the mix!

Sunday was Mother’s Day in the UK and Eldest booked for us to go for Mother’s Day Brunch at a little cafe in Nottingham called White Rabbits Teahouse.  It was lovely Brunch and the food was great. I also got to go to the Bookshop which is around the corner from The Teahouse!  Of course I came away with a couple (five!) books! Obviously Nottingham is DH and My home town.  This is a mural on one of the buildings which is in the heart of what was The Lace Market of Nottingham.  There used to be many lace factories in the area as well as the homes of the Lace Barons.  There was never a market there but the factories had sales rooms where buyers could view the different types of lace.  The whole area has been restored to its orignal look and is now home to many businesses.

The above picture is some of the fantastic buildings in the Lace Market.

In the evening Youngest cooked dinner for me which was also lovely.  It is always great when you don’t have to cook dinner!

I feel the last few weeks I have been racing to catch up with everything and keep on top of things.  We had the final round of the Swimming Leage competition last Saturday evening and our swimming club won!  Which is a great achievement for them especially for our new young Coaching team including Youngest!  A great night was had by all.

DH is out all this weekend at another swimming event so I will be able to get quite a bit done then.  The weather has gotten a little bit more Spring like here, as it has still be quite cold, so we are hoping it will hang around although we are now getting April showers in March.  March also seems to be going out like a Lion this year but it did come in like a lamb so fair’s fair!!!

Madam has now found another place to stand up and look out of the window!  This is in our dining room and she can see out onto our road.  Treacle used to do this until she knocked over a vase which smashed!  She didn’t do it again!

I couldn’t find her the other day when I was busy cleaning and then found her here:

She was in her crate chewing one of her toys!

I hope you lovely lot are having a good week and I will do Book Club Friday this week. 

Hugs & Love, Susie & Coco xx
