Never apologise!
That's the advice given on one of those "How to blog" blogs. But I feel I should apologise. My blogposts have been irregular, to say the least, this year. That being said, I'd just like to thank anyone who takes the time to comment, I really appreciate and enjoy reading them. One of the things I love to do in my (now rare and precious) free time is to look at your blogs, going back through your posts and photos - it really is a treat.

In any case, what have we been up to over here? Well, my sister, her husband and their five - count them: five - children came to visit. When they left Ireland, the weather was miserable there and wonderful here; as soon as they arrived here, their meteorological fortunes were reversed.

This is my Fancy China. It normally resides in a cupboard, while I use bucket-like mugs from the 99c shop, which sadly don't photograph quite as well. While here, Emily and I discussed our nefarious Blogging Lies, wherein we take nice photos that belie the fact that we are both extraordinarily untidy people, coming to the conclusion that no one wants to see the mountain of clutter that constitutes our real lives. Instead, we will show you our pretty porcelain and relatively uncluttered work surfaces and we shall all pretend that this is our general reality, as opposed to our (Op)Posed Reality. Please play along.
