Love your gums

Smile and the world smiles with you us how the saying goes.

My son goes to the local village dentist it's private but it convenienant for his school and mine.

Ordinarily my son is not fazed by the dentist , he takes it in his stride but the last time he felt the dentist filled him with fear. And as a result for ages he didn't want to go but a simple pleasant phone call resulted in him being transferred to a dentist that he is much happier to see.

Service with a smile ... Sorry for the pun.

Also the dentist practice were able to chase up his braces appointment.

Gum care is important , many people will get gum health issues at some point in their lives and it's the biggest cause of tooth loss.  

My sons attitude to his dentist and subsequent dental care is leading me to revaluate my own dental care.

Coming from a long line of dashing denture wearers it's not something I relish wearing myself.

 So if I can at least try and stop the tradition with my own teeth. I willl be on to a sure winner and as previously mentioned the first step is good gum care.

 So the family are currently putting Pro-Expert Premium Gum toothpaste through its paces.

As a family we can follow simple tips as these to aid good gum and teeth care.

1 . Brush twice a day with a good fluoride paste such as Pro -Expert Premium Gun toothpaste.

2. Floss between your teeth everyday .

3. Visit a dentist regularly for check ups and cleaning.

4. Cut down on sugary food and drinks , I've swooped to having water with my meals instead of cola as have the rest of the family.

5. Don't smoke or chew tobacco.

6 . Cut down alcohol consumption.

SO we look forward to a long and healthy relationship with our pearly whites !

Cracking up

Yesterday all my troubles seemed ..... Tails off

Yesterday well yesterday my iPhone 4 screen broke.

I was asked to politely move my fat bottom... ( not to worry all young kids say things!)

It seems it didn't like bouncing the IPhone that is ( just in case you were worried for a minute .)

What I mean is I dropped my iPhone 4 S on the floor in the middle of a 60mph country lane.

I suppose I should be grateful that a car didn't run over it.

I should have taken the Nikkon ...

Should of, could of .... DIDN'T

My husband says we learn by our mistakes ....

That perennial useful phrase ...

So I won't be getting my biker boot s

Boooooh

But here's some lovely pictures to look at and look there's the spot I dropped my IPhone 4S ...

Memories found today

Memories found today.

When I was tidying up.

Nothing out the ordinary you might think.

Its only an old Inspector Morse video I can't bring myself to throw it out. My mum gave it to my Nan and my Nan wasn't one for clutter.

Underneath it was some childhood photos of my Nan from when she was small in 1932. A young life full of such promise and glee.

One as a school girl (not sure when but commonly people left at 14)

One of when her parents got married looking very much like Downtown Abbey.

 and one of her mother my great Grandmother in 1918.

So you see its memories triggered.

And to top it all I found a copy of my granddads death certificate.

I'm not religious.

I can't say what I am .

I respect religion.

And religions respects me.

Simple touches like that are softly  spoken words of veiled comfort in the pockets of time.

For without the past we wouldn't be what we are in the future.

Macaroons The One Where I Turn Into Mary Berry

Macaroons the one where I turn into Mary Berry.

Who would have thought it?

I think my husband thought I was possessed when first a silicon macaroon sheet turned up and then a space age icing tool by Leuke.

At this stage I'm not quite advanced enough to imagine up my own a Macaroon recipe. So I followed one on the Delicious website, and I was amazed it actually worked.

Why not serve your macaroons in a lemon squeezer ?

Have faith in yourself and who knows what you can achieve.

Go and read the wonder blog Heir Raising who actually met the great lady Mary Berry herself.
