Happy New Year!
I am sorry for the long-ish absence from this space but combination of Freddie’s birthday party (he turned 1 in December!), Christmas, a baby stomach virus and absolute addiction to David Copperfield left me with no time whatsoever.
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and a fun New Year’s eve and am wishing you all the best in 2012.
I have been pondering about this space a little, I was wondering whether I should just close it down or pay it a proper attention and update the look, mmm.
Anyway, here are a few pictures from the last month and I will be back shortly with some more things to share.
The birthday boy
The retro yule log!
Plenty of cookies
Stylish objects at Science Museum

Oh, I hope you don’t shut it down. I enjoy reading your blog. You’ve given me so many ideas about where to dine and what to see the next time my English husband and I get over to England. Thanks so much!

Please don’t shut your blog down!
It doesn’t have to be either updated on a daily basis or closed down. Don’t put yourself under too much pressure: if you’re busy, you don’t blog and if you feel like blogging, just do so.

Your blog is great! You have lots of interesting baking recipies and I love the home/interior design ideas! It is also refreshingly honest and much more grounded than other blogs. If you do decide to close the blog, we will of course miss it, but good luck with everything in life!

Echoing the other commenters! Don’t go! It doesn’t matter how often you update. I love your recipes and interiors stuff. And gardening inspiration. And just how much you manage to do is inspiring!
Oh, and Happy New Year!

Happy New Year. It would be a real shame if you were to stop your blog. I know it can be hard to keep it updated; I struggle and i share my blog with 3 other friends so please try to keep it going as I really look forward to your posts.xxx

Aw, thank you! I have now started a new blog though…rather low key, but it’s nice to be blogging again. I’m very pleased Sneaky Magpie is continuing!
