Tails Of The Unexpected

My cat Rollie treats my house like a hotel , you see fluffy cute I see evil.

It waits for me on the stairs.

"Go on come up stairs , you chicken ?!" taunts Mr Grey ( ninja)

"Yes , yes I am , " I say 

I take signs of limbering cat yoga as a sign of war...

Rollie in the matrix you see he knows jujutsu , trust me you know mess with him at your very peril.

Infact I hear the kitchen door going now , like Jacob Marley rattling his chains , pick the quiet kitten my husband said.

The quiet ones are the worse aren't they .

Help.

Blog As You Are

Blog as you .

Power to your hands (paws)

Leaving behind those I've lost, with a clear conscience and I wish those who have wronged me one as well. Putting my mistakes behind me , learning to let go.

Friends quality over quantity and if you've made the grade then you are friend indeed.

I'm making good choices here on in, I don't do resolutions more revolutions.

I will be back to recipes and picture taking , I'm still getting over an awful virus , people have it worse than me so woeful I won't be.

Good cheer to you all and hope you'll be with me for year 4

The Hidden House Westfield Stratford City

Yesterday I went along with my family down to London to the Westfield shopping centre Stratford City right by the Olympic park and having left at 8 am form Derby were were able to have breakfast in Giraffe. Setting down for breakfast we had a good view of the Olympic park with the shelter skelkter structure which was used as a media centre during the Olympics  but of which now you can ascend and achieve magnificent view overs London.

Christmas along with a time of festivities has had a long tradition of ghost stories and the alike challenging our fears and giving us a jolly dossier along the way. With my family I was very much appreciative of being invited to 'The Hidden House' at the Westfield Stratford City to discover the secrets that lie within.


What is the hidden house ?

The hidden house is a thrilling brand new scare maze inspired by The Grimm Tales .


How long does it take ?


This immersive experience takes 15 minutes and you are interacting from the word go with the  use of actors, technology and drama to create a unique one of a kind experience . It is sure to make you laugh  ( well my husband and son did as one of the actors came up to up and sniffed me and said in a slightly menacing voice


"Fresh meat mmmmmm"


Both in equal measure you will have goosebumps and you will laugh !



What ages is is suitable for ?

Ages 8 and above an adult is not required for either the Hidden House session or The Hidden House : Darkest secrets secrets. I think it is better to go with your child unless they are utterly fearless but that is just my parental point of view.


I would say don't wear stilettos or teeny tiny skirts or your poshest outfit as you 'may' have to crawl a small way.

The experience was till the 4th January 2015


Disclosure I was provided with tickets for Hidden House and a gift card all view , words and opinions are my own.

What To Get A Marvel Fan For Christmas

My son is a Marvel fan and really big this one and this year I have been tasked with finding gifts that are different , unique there are plenty of comic gift are the market. You have to have deep pockets for some of the comic memorabilia that I have seen , such as signed Stan Lee art work etc which I have to say is a little out of my price range.

I happened upon a company called Bombus who mix vintage,modern design to create handmade bespoke personalised gifts, home accessories and one off art piece. The first item I picked were bookends in his initials and they are covered in comics , you can ask for what ever character you want they will do their up most to find it for you .

 I then thought abut all the nick naks he has , what it  it with boys and keeping things so I thought a bespoke marvel covered box would hide all the little bits and bobs he insists on keeping. 

The box is again covered in a comic that you request and I think it is rather funky and I hope he likes it !  ( sure he will )

My son has posters on his wall but I thought that it would be nice to add a more depth to this room and I thought that a trio of the circles covered in Marvel comics would do just the job. You can of course buy more but as the rest of his wall are covered in his beloved posters alas there is no room.


If you are looking for an alternative to a needle dropping tree or sigh at the thought of putting up an artificial one again and you are a Mavel comic book lover what about this alternative tree ?! My son has a small version of this tree  in this room and again he loves it.

Disclosure : This is not a review and I paid for all this with my own fair money , well I have a join bank account so is suppose we went halves  , no all the money is mine I have just decided.

I'm Not One To Be Truffled With

I am coming up for my 4 th year of blogging , would you believe that it started with my cat , I now blog not just my cat but my whims , sometimes serious , happy sad whatever I want. I have and always will do what I want , no longer do reading myself too thin. No longer I'm out for me but I'll help my friends , you see that's me.

You wouldn't have guessed it but I do rather like my own company , getting away from it all , suppose this comes from being a combination of factors . I have and always well wonder why folk like me , yet at one time I wanted to be liked, I'm the blogging enigma I'll not go away . I'll be there to help, support and talk and develop myself as I go.

And as I set here again wondering why to write , I again peel the cat off the kettle so I can sit down with my trusty cup of tea.

So I'll be with my pink truffles if you need me.

These are blogging truffles it is what powers bloggers.
