Time For A Cuppa | Twinings Giveaway
Do you ever get 'that sinking feeling' late afternoon? Not quite dinner time, but lunch seems a distant memory? If you do you aren't alone, in fact Anna the 7th Duchess of Bedford (and close friend of Queen Victoria) in the early 19th century discovered the perfect solution - afternoon tea. During this period tea consumption increased dramatically in ...
Feeling Lucky? Mosami Giveaway
I was recently asked whether I'd like to feature Mosami on my blog. Honestly, I'd never heard of them, but as soon as I found out what they sell, and what they stand for, I was more than happy to give them space here at my virtual home. If you haven't heard of them yet either, then please let me introduce Mosami to you: Mosami create jewellery ...
Angel Wishes Chocolate Giveaway
I mentioned last week that I am starting to think about Christmas. It'll be nice to get the gifts all wrapped up. Because I like to keep it simple, there's a formula I follow: Each person gets: Something to drink Something to eat Something simple to wear - usually socks Something to enjoy as an experience - book, DVD, ticket to an ...
In The Box Is…
One of my favourite memories from 2014 was stumbling across Tissington Village in Derbyshire. In particular finding Edward & Vintage Sweet Shop, in the picture perfect English village. ...
What’s In The Box? Giveaway!
I'm not a massive consumer 365 days of the year. Understatement. When it comes to Christmas, and the giving of gifts we do give some gifts to close family. But over the last few years gift giving has reduced dramatically. Why? I find the commercial side of Christmas rather depressing. Being a trained professional marketing person, I understand it. I get ...
Did You Stir-Up Sunday? We Didn’t.
I do love traditions. Apparently (according to Wikipedia) Stir-up Sunday is one of the essential British traditions. Introduced to the Britain by Prince Albert, the husband of Queen Victoria. We didn't participate this year. Do you recall I'm taking Christmas off? That means no home-made Christmas puddings. No gathering together to stir the pudding in ...
Giveaway / The Dungeons
School's out in our neck of the woods. It's day 1 and so far we've done clay modelling, dance practice and First-born is taking a literacy class in the playroom. She has two willing(ish) students. Next on the list is swimming. We do like to make the most of our school holidays at Chez Wright. If you're a regular reader, you'll know school holiday ...
Time To Get Christmassy – Thorntons Chocolate Giveaway
There aren't any Christmas decorations up yet at Chez Wright. The tree won't be arriving until this weekend. We're a little later this year with the festivities. That's not to say I'm not organised. It's beginning to look a little like Christmas. I have a Christmas CD on (to get me in the mood for today's post), the gifts are wrapped and believe it or not ...
Sharing The Love – A Colgate Giveaway
This month, as part of Colgate Oral Health Month, I was kindly invited to a blogger event focusing on oral hygiene. It was scheduled for the same day as the Kids went back to school. We had back2school cake to eat, what can I say? I didn't go. ...
