Random Likings

It's been a while since I posted one of these so here, for your delectation, is a list of utterly random objects I have seen and liked recently. Ta dah!

1. Ryan Gosling Tea Towel
I am not sure £9.95 is worth having Ryan's face swooshing around in my mugs and bowls, and what's all the popcorn about?

£9.95 at Prezzy Box

2. Sockadoo

I have a think about sock monkeys and I only have to look on Etsy to see that I am not alone. Sockadoo is a Cardiff based woman making cute sock animals. They're mainly £8 plus postage and, being CE Certified, would make fab pressies.

3. Lego Wall Decal

£43.36 from Etsy

4. Philip Veale Photography

If I ever doubted that I lived in a stunning part of the world just looking at the gallery at Peter Veale Photography would remind me. This is the Sugarloaf near Abergavenny.

5. Staffordshire/Derbyshire Oatcakes

When I saw these on the breakfast menu I thought it was weird to have crackers with sausages and eggs, so imagine my delight when they turned out to be like big, thin blinis! Unlike blinis these are made using fine oatmeal instead of buckwheat. Yeast is on my shopping list and I will be attempting these in the near future.

Thinking about getting this one framed for the house. 

A brilliant website, app and free resource for parents to help raise active children

English Garden Worm Gin - what middle class tequila drinkers graduate to?




Alex Clare. I can't get enough of his album, The Lateness of the Hour, at the moment.

What should be on every good girl's Christmas list for Santa: the Ryan Gosling colouring book. I found this at Your Home Is Lovely, which is well worth a look.

Great advice from my favourite Sunday site, PostSecret
