Goosegogs

Ooh the gooseberries are coming on nicely, first time I've managed to get some! Looking forward to a nice pie or Gainsborough Tart....

Gelish nails

Had Gelish put on, it's a sort of coral/flamingo pink.

White Foxgloves

I love these white foxgloves which have self seeded in the veg bed.

Tub O' Butter

Finally tracked this product down after reading about it. It's supposed to be a wonder miracle product, making your skin feel softer than soft! Liking it so far, it smells chocolatey as it's got cocoa butter in. The main ingredient is petroleum jelly though so it's a bit messy! Applying it overnight seems to be the best option. A bargain at £1.99 a tub, it also comes in a lotion formula too so I want to try that and see if it's more suitable for daytime use.
