Lovely Christmas Lighting

I love pretty lights and have a few up all year round, nothing says cosy winter evenings and Christmas like twinkling lights.

This year I want to light up the house, from the dining room to the kitchen and the lounge to the hallway I want to make sure the house sparkles and make it as magical as possible for the children.

Here are just a few of some of the wonderful lights available online and on the high street, how do you make your house sparkle?

Summer Picnic Wish List

With the sun out and summer fast approaching, there is no better time to start thinking about picnics. There is a wide range of picnic items , everything from snuggly blankets, to baskets to carry your picnic in, storage for your yummy food and BBQs to cook it on.

I particularly love the wine glass holders, great for making sure that no more glasses of your favourite vino get tipped over!!
