I have pondered recent news scares about online relationships, the loss of the art of social interaction. I have reached the conclusion that these moaning minnies are clearly not participating in the world of blogging that I inhabit. I have been privilleged enough to meet a few bloggy ladies now and always I have thoroughly enjoyed the warmth of their company. I get a huge sense of happiness that this strange soup called blogger has enabled me to meet like minded and creative individuals. And today was exceptional. Cake was eaten....
Orange and Almond (and the jury is out as to whether this one will make it into my recipe book). Pretty gifts were exchanged..I made this for my friend...
and look what pretties she found to add to my collection! So beautiful!
Even the beautiful boy received a perfect gift and already he and daddy are planning which model to test first!
Can you guess who came to visit Norfolk today? Want a clue?
Ok so thats fairly obvious isn't it! The lovely Mr and Mrs Custard came down our way and we hope very much they'll be back soon for a longer stay! But before then Mrs Custard has far more important things to do!
I feel sure this event, the second Vintage and Handmade Fair organised by Michele and Jayne, will be a huge success. Lucky you if you live close enough to go along for some jolly shopping. Have a bun and a cuppa for me! I so wish I could be there!
Once our guests left us the beautiful boy and I had chores to do in town. Of course this is always an excuse to check out our favourite charity shops and the beautiful boy fell in love...
...with a HUGE tapestry picture of ships and seagulls and waves crashing on the rocks. (sorry, tricky to get a picture without reflections on the glass!). It's very kitsch. I loved it too and at the weekend we will have a shuffle around to find a space for it on his bedroom wall.
I found this lovely Finnish honey pot and snazzy metal tray....
and a few books with jolly summertime pictures.
All in all a perfect day.
Now, have you noticed what happens tomorrow?! Well, yes, we have the lovely journalist coming to visit for a chat and that's going to be such fun! Another virtual contact made real! But also, tomorrow is my blogiversary! There will certainly be cake! Cake and more. Do stop by and say hello! t.xx

Glad you all had fun.

It's great to put a name to a face,isn't it?!
I've met Mrs Custard a few times now..she is great company.
Glad she made it to your neck of the woods.
;-)
SOOOO glad that you and the lovely Mrs.C had such a perfect encounter! You two have so much in common, was there any doubt that the visit wouldn't be a complete delight?!
So glad to see that BB has developed such exceptional taste! The tapestry is gorgeous and perfect for his blue bedroom.
(Yes, and you did well too, as usuual! ;-))
Will try to pop back tomorrow, but Mum will be here as of today and we will be packing the car for the V&H on Friday.
Hope the interview goes well.

And, here's to friendship, wherever you find it!
I've met a few people from blogging that are local to me and two of them have become really close friends now.
So glad that your meet went well. The cake looks delish!
Good luck with the journalist.
And Happy Blogiversary!
Wonderful finds, your house must be a treasure trove. You have such a good eye. Oh and that cake, it looks delicious.
All the best for your Journalist's visit tomorrow.
Happy blogoversary!
I am so dense.. I couldn't understand why you were looking for a custard tin yesterday.. I think I was deep in holiday mode and had switched off that useful part of my brain!
It was such a delight to meet you and your gorgeous little boy.. he is definitely a Christopher Robin and boy does this world need more CR's!!!!
I knew that you would be such a lovely lady to meet..call it a woman's intuition but I do believe the friends I have had the good fortune to meet on my blog journey have been some of the closest friends I have yet made..
The cake was scrumptious.. the gifts were so generous and your company was warm and welcoming and the highlight of our hols.. I could gush for several more paragraphs about your sublime home.. but you know how I feel about that one!
Thanks T...

P.s I can see your boy has inherited his Mum's good taste.. Kitsch rules!
I have teenage BB's and it is pretty full-on at the moment!

Love Vanessa xxx (do you mind if i knit)
Michele wore her gorgeous necklace on Saturday at the Fair. I was going to comment on it's loveliness but there was just so little time for chatting.
I'm sure you had a wonderful time. Mrs C is lovely and as you're a friend of Niki's you must be, too!!!
I had a pair of gardening gloves like those in your post on 26 May. Do your fingers turn green when you wear them? Mine did!
