And then there were four...

For months now I've been planning a 'I'm pregnant!' post but as you can tell by the pic below, I've left it a bit too late :-) Two hours after arriving at the hospital we welcomed The Baby into our lives. I still can't believe he is here! I'll be taking a bit of a break to enjoy my boys but will still try and pop in online every now and then to say hi... Love, Col x

Hello, I hope you all had a fab long weekend! We were treated to typical Easter weather here in Cape Town: grey skies and lots and lots of rain. I really enjoyed pottering about indoors though... The Boy and I baked these chocolate banana muffins, lots of amazing Lego creations were built and way too much junk food was consumed. All in all, a great weekend :-) 

Hope you like my latest pins. I wouldn't mind getting my hands on that tea pot. Isn't it a beaut?

And hello new followers. It's lovely to have you here :-) Once The Boy is back at school I'm hoping to have some more time to visit your blogs. But in the meantime, thanks for visiting mine!

Bonjour mademoiselle

I've been indulging in a spot of window shopping at online store Human Empire and have spent far too much time browsing the Poster section! These designs by Blanca Gómez are my favourites. The first one may just will make it onto my birthday wish list :-) See more fab posters here.

Splash!

Hello all! Hope you've all had lovely weekends. Ours was long and lazy - just the way I like it :-) We're making the most of the sunshine over here. The mornings and evenings have turned quite chilly. Duvets have been hauled out of storage, laundered and plonked back on beds. That really signalled the end of summer for me... It seems to have flown!

I haven't been blogging much lately as I've been too busy pinning. I've suddenly become addicted to Pinterest again. You can see all my pins and follow me here if you like.

Hope you have a great week! We're all looking forward to the long weekend and a break from school for The Boy. If the weather holds I'm sure there'll be lots more splashing going on around here :-)

Have you heard about

...Jessica Nielsen? I'm sure you all have - her designs have been popping up all over Pinterest and blogland lately. I couldn't resist reblogging though. I'm just loving her simple yet striking designs. They're making me very happy on this extremely hot day and energy sapping day. Thank goodness The Boy is having a nap this afternoon (sadly they're happening less and less these days). I certainly am not feeling up to playing Sea Monster, a game which basically involves me chasing him around the garden with a picnic blanket draped over my head :-)

You can see more of Jessica's designs here.

Here comes the rain again

You would think, wouldn't you, that after all those years of living in Edinburgh I would be able to find one umbrella in the house. Nope, all I can locate is an enormous beach brollie. Not very practical for this very wet and rainy Cape Town day. (I really am enjoying the cooler weather though despite being drenched several times today.) I did however buy The Boy some wellies a couple of weeks ago and he had a fab time jumping in all the puddles on our walk today :-)

It's meant to be hot again this weekend. Probably one of the last few sunny ones left so we are making the most of it and having a lazy barbecue. Hope you all have sunny and happy weekends!
