| l love looking at clouds, watching them change shape before my eyes. lt's just gas moving around , but l think they are magical creatures hiding in the sky, and only a few can see them. |
 |
| Sometimes we forget about the magic around us ..... |
 |
| The magic in our day to day lives ... |
 |
| The little things that feed our imagination, and inspire us to create .... |
 |
| lt may only last a moment, and then it's gone ... like clouds in the sky. |
 |
 |
| Oh dear... me and mini me have both been suffering with nasty colds all week, so to try and cheer ourselves up we've been thinking of our favourite things .... like whiskers on kittens ..... so here are a few !!! |
 |
| A cloud with a silver lining.... |
 |
| A beautiful baby deer , ahhh |
 |
| A moment of freedom .... |
 |
| Just joy .... !!! |
 |
| The beauty all around us ..... just remembering all these lovely things in our lives helps make us feel better. |
 |
| So, firstly take two slices of bread and cut the crusts off. Slice the cheese thinly and place on the bread. |
 |
| Now for the fun bit, ask your little helper to put the cheese on the bread and make a sandwich using the second slice. Now squash together, sealing the edges so it looks like a little white parcel |
 |
| Take 3 small bowels, one each for flour, milk and egg. First place your parcel in the milk, but don't get it too wet ! |
 |
| Than pop it into the flour and give it a good dusting, finally dip it into the egg until it's all coated. |
 |
| Should look something like this ... so far so good !!! |
 |
| Lightly oil a frying pan, just enough so the sandwich wont stick when cooking, so , place your yummy treat in the pan and cook on a medium heat until it turns golden brown and crispy. You'll need to flip it a few times, but you know that already !. When you're happy give it a quick press to see if the melted cheese oozes out, when it does you are there !! |
 |
| Once it's cooked place it on a kitchen towel to drain away any excess oil and leave to cool. You can add a few chilli flakes when cooking, or salt and pepper and even a shot of tomato ketchup to taste. Mozzarella cheese can be a little bland so you might want to add something to give it some zap !! |
 |
| A very tasty treat after a long day at school, and a very happy little girl. Thanks Nigella, and thanks for watching !!! |
 |
| I recently read an article about women who buy lovely shoes and end up not ever wearing them. These works of art end up in a box at the back of a closet, collecting dust !! |
 |
| "That's outrageous" l thought. |
 |
| why would anyone buy lovely shoes and not wear them?? |
 |
| And then l realized |
 |
| I have my own collection of lovely unworn shoes .... boxed and hidden away. These gems l fell in love with, spent money on , held in my hand and fantasized about being glamorous and successful, these beauties who were going to change my life, were .....um stored in a box with a label on, and neatly placed at the back of a cupboard. |
 |
| Mainly because, well it was raining, or l was in a hurry, but my feet hurt or l don't want to draw attention to myself, and well they don't go with this outfit blah blah blah ....... |
 |
| There are so many reasons not to wear these shoes, these lovely shoes , but l promise to when the time is right !!!! |
 |
| P.S .... These are the shoes l usually wear !!! |
 |
| I would like to dedicate today to two amazing women who in their own way have help shape my life and the person l am today !! for different reasons neither of them are with me now ..... but they are very much in my thoughts. |
 |
| Two wonderful women who have helped guide us and teach us patience and kindness, shown us love and understanding, and asking nothing in return. |
 |
| Today we are sending our love and gratitude to these women, our mothers, our family. What would we be without them ? Happy Mothers Day U.S.A xxxxxoooooo |
