Isleham Pottery



What a laugh my sister and I have been having over the last few months, we were both given a piece of china as a gift, by our Grt Aunt, she said it would be worth something in the future, not enough to pay off our mortages though!!!!. These pieces of china are always travelling whether they are living at my sister`s house or mine. Without us really knowing where they are.!!!

On our last visit to the IOW my husband and I hid both pieces at my sisters house, she has found 1, but yet to find the other.! Come on surely you do your housework on a weekly basis and should really be able to find the china ming twin. The missing one was the easiest one to find. LOL It looks so pretty amongst all of Paiges painted stones!......

My passion "the colour Pink"


As you`ve most probably already guessed, I like the colour Pink. Not that I`m a fluffy person, I can change a car tyre, put petrol in my car, change a plug, I just like PINK!!!!. Especially pink handbags, In all shapes and sizes, my holiday luggage just bought recently is, Yes you`ve guessed it, "Pink".

We went to the IOW in May and I just had to have that bag in the sailing shop. Yes it was Pink

My husband hates me shopping, if I go missing he knows where to find me, in the handbag shop.
On our last shopping spree in Norwich, I actually bought 2 hand luggage bags, both in a soft pink, why I bought 2, I will never know, you can only use 1 at a time. But hey they were pink.
My daily handbag was a very expensive purchase in Florida, its a Dooney and Bourke bag, soft leather. I cant wait to go again maybe I will purchase another one.!!!! LOL

What a great weekend


We had a few friends over on Sunday for a walk, they bought their dogs as well, in total we had 3 Ebt`s a Westie and a Staffy, fun was had by all. Dp was in her element, showing off all day. Missy Moo and Rocko, are Ebts, the other dog was a Staffy called Bodie. We walked for a good 2 hours and Ruby our 12 year old westie and our heavily pregnant Daughter Lucie, kept up with us. Wow, Lucie seemed to find some energy she thought she had lost months ago.
We enjoyed a lovely walk through our forests, all the dogs got on so well together playing most of the way around the walk. I`m sure they must off walked double the amount of steps that we did.!!
When we arrived home we had beer and burgers, sat and watched the dogs playing, Dixie and Bodie (the Staffy) played until 6pm and I`m sure they would of played right through until Midnight if we had let them. LOL Dixie and Bodie still playing after a very long walk

Well this is my first ever blog, so I better tell you all about us and them!!!

Us, being myself and my family, consisting of Me, my husband and 2 grown children, both girls. - Lucie (soon to be a Mum herself) and Kirsten she is our baby of the family. Well she is 19.!!

Them being our family pets. - We have always had animals and Jack was our first ever West Highland Terrier, sadly we lost him in April this year, at the grand old age of 14 years and 20 days, a sad loss and we miss him so much. Ruby was our next dog she is now 12 years old, so an old lady, her and Jack were always together, she misses him too. Now to the newest member of the family, "Dixie-Pearl", we fancied a changed, staying with the Terrier breed, but this time we went bigger, EBT bigger, for all those people out there that arent sure what an EBT is, ""English Bull Terrier"". Yes she is a handful, but loads of fun and only being 9 months she is learning very quickly. We also have, yes 3 cats and they do get on very well with the dogs. Dogs dont chase cats in our house, Cats chase Dogs!! HAHAHA.

We all live in a fairly tiny 3 bedroom house in Suffolk, with a garden which resembles a ploughed field, after the mole has had fun, Dixie-Pearl then joins in, digging as if she were on her way to Australia, so I have no plants, as Dixie uses them as perfume to roll in, we are very lucky as we live in the countryside, we can walk for miles without seeing a soul and no traffic which is an added bonus. We love to go to the beach, but we generally go to the IOW and visit my sister and her gang, 5 cockers spaniels, who all get on so well with my gang. They are to blame for Dp`s (Dixie-Pearls pet name) passion for the water. She is like a duck in water, loves it. Now a nightmare to get her out.
