Celebrating a 50th Wedding Anniversary

This house holds many dear memories for my Mum's family. In fact my Mum was born at home here so it was a treat to create and give it to my Aunt and Uncle as a 50th Wedding Anniversary gift.

A real Indian takeaway

Tonight we had our first real Indian takeaway. It was delicious. The kids were v brave and tucked in too... Adding a mouthful of mango lassi with every bite of korma!! Calvin was the funniest. The spiciness didn't put him off his love of food but oh the facial expressions as he persevered on. 

I also loved the packaging that the take away arrived in. V cool illustration.
