Testing… Testing…

My blog will very soon be getting a face lift… YAY!

Until then I want my images BIGGER! So now that I am a flickr user (thanks Miss Sheye!) I thought I would give this a go. Let’s see if it works.

This is my Poppy and HER ‘Baby Ellah’. Ellah is HER cousin, NOT my niece apparently, even though her mummy is definitely my sister. This is the world of an almost three year old…

Poppy & Ellah

And because I have already had a few questions about the chair… The chair belongs to my Mum and Dad, or Poppy’s Granny and Pa actually (because we all know it is ALL about her). They have had this setting for as long as I can remember and talk regularly about replacing it, but it continues to sit loyally in the front lounge of their house. As kids we jumped on it, dove off it and made cubby houses with sheets around it… As teens we lazed and watched TV on it and hung out with friends on it… As adults we drink tea and chat on it and as a pregnant adult I occasionally have a wee snooze on it while Poppy is off in cahoots with HER Granny.

This setting isn’t as comfortable as it once was… The seat cushions are propped up with cushions underneath and the lumpiness is becoming more apparent with each visit – and each snooze. It could, however, tell a LOT of stories and is a bit like a favourite jumper that no longer keeps you warm because it is so threadbare – I love it anyway.
I plan to snaffle it when they do eventually replace it ( I can hear my husband’s shudder already – ‘where WILL we put it Fran?’). I do have three other siblings who may want a look in, but with two arm chairs, one three seater and two gorgeous ‘little people’ chairs I am sure we can come to an agreement :)

Have a great weekend.
