Home For The Holidays

We are so so excited...Miss Christine is returning home from New Zealand 

and should be somewhere over Singapore about now. 

It is her first visit back since starting University in February. 

In the weeks since we have kept in touch via Skype and Facebook. 

I love this modern world we live in!

I have been a busy little bee getting ready for her return:

1. Miss Tine (as we call her) loves Cath Kidston. 

I managed to pick up a duvet cover and a few pillowcases.
She will be delighted.
My recent research for the Guest Room post
I did a while back came in very handy for this project. 

A few daffodils from the garden 

will be the perfect touch for her bedside table.

2. Miss Tine loves to bake. 

She is going to love the Nigella Chocolate Pudding

recipe from an earlier post.
I did a trial run the other day and ....
YUM!

3. Mother and Daughter movie nights are ready to go.

My Mambo Gelato post will come in hand here too.

I have organised all our DVD's into one large folder. 

Why I did not do this years ago is beyond me!

4. Shopping and tea seem to always be on the list when Mom is around. 

I have scouted out a few new areas in London and am good to go:) 

Miss Christine and Miss Claire are now 19 and 16

and I know they will be rolling their eyes over this photo...

 I am sure I will get something along the lines of 

'Oh Mother, you are such a loser'

but I can't help it... 

This is still one of my favourite photos of the 'girls' 

(and Mom in her 30's)

I call it a Mother's privilege!

Wishing one and all a wonderful weekend!

Jeanne :)
