Hattie loves to watch a cheesy Channel 5 American Christmas movie on a Sunday. You know the one, big city publisher goes back to her small town to stop a heartless property developer pull down the local shopping mall. Falls in love, teaches him the spirit of Christmas,etc. That one. Seen it? 😋😄😉

10 years ago today, 13th November 2015, 'that' Movember. Never forgotten, never again (still donate though). Any resemblance to a certain office manager from an early 2000s BBC2 mockumentary is purely coincidental..😋😁

Big fans in our house of 'Canal Boat Diaries' with Robbie Cumming. On our meadow walk we always go through Godstow Lock near Wolvercote which affectionately have named 'Robbies Lock' in honour of the great man as he passes through here in Series 6 Episode 2. 😋

Love these boots I got from my Dad. They have a lovely retro look about them and they give me a few additional inches (☺️😋). Before you ask, No!! They are not fur-lined! 😂🤣

Had to be done. Watched this live in my box bedroom with my sister. I was 25, she was 21. This scene, this one bloody scene caused us to jump off the bed, shriek like banshees then shake uncontrollaby. No shit, seriously unless you experienced this live, you have no idea of it's impact.

Me and my Dad drinking Light & Bitter in 'The Blind Beggar' pub in Whitechapel. May Bank Holiday Monday 1990. Mum was born in the East End so we both went up looking for her old street in Canning Town. Found the street but where her house should have been was a Carpet Right!😁
