The D Word

I um'd and ah'd about writing about my beginning a diet but I thought that maybe writing about it would be theraputic - maybe boring, but theraputic. I know it seems that every person and their dog is on a diet but I need to lose some serious weight! We are talking halving the weight I am now. Yikes! So today I went to my first LighterLife meeting. I went for an introduction meeting a couple of weeks ago and tomorrow I start the diet proper! No food just shakes and bars. They told us that we would feel awful for the first 3 days so fingers crossed I don't feel too bad. I will let you know.

Sempringham Abbey

I must wax lyrical about our local Abbey. I have been walking with the boys every morning up near the Abbey and it is stunning. It is a church really but there was an Abbey there before good old King Henry decided to demolish it. The views are spectacular and they have given me some inspiration for some new jewellery. I will keep you updated!

The boys love to run in the stream especially in this fabulous weather we have been having and I couldn't resist a piccy!

Well off to make a lily ring - no rest for the wicked!
