Welcome one, Welcome all.
If we were having Coffee : time again to ask how are you all are and what have you been up to this week! Come in it is lovely to see you all here again. The fires are lit and the cushions are plumped up and we have the coffee and tea on the go and the cakes and sweets are all set out. We have tea and coffee from all over the world not to mention all our cakes and muffins and as Paul calls them sweets! Every single one is calorie free! Plus of course we now have spirits and liquors to warm the coldest of you.
If we were having Coffee: I would ask you what has been going on in your world this week, has anything deeply affected you, have you need a sympathetic ear, a shoulder to cry on or just needed someone to make you laugh! If yes feel free to talk it out here with us. We will all help if we can.
If we were having Coffee: I would remind you that there are lots of other coffee mornings all shared and organized By Diana and Gene’O over at,Part time monster
If we were having Coffee : Yesterday was a long but happy day, it was my hubby’s birthday and our eldest son organised a special family lunch, out in the country down in his part of the world. It was extra special because all three boys were able to attend as was the husband’s mother. The Newbie and his Mum did not come but it would of been a lot of travelling and a long day for the Newbie. We all met up on a pub on the South Downs an had a lovely meal. It was a delight to have all my four men in one place at the same time!
If we were having Coffee : Now there was something else that happened yesterday on Hubby’s birthday …what was it ??? OH! yes ! William and Kate have taken delivery of their second baby! Right Kate job done an Heir and a Spare! Parliament made sure when George was on his way that he been a girl he would still be able to become Monarch in line. So as with most things it is one in one out and Princess Eugenie will be toppled of her perch at 7th in line to the throne… I wonder if the fact that she no longer has to ask the Queen permission to marry will affect her.
Well the Cambridge’s went home from the Lindo Wing of St Mary’s Hospital Paddington hours after the birth. I had to smile when a TV newsman wondered how they would cope their first night home having to look after two babies under three? Well I can assure you that they would of had plenty of help with royal aides,Nannies, Nurses and a Dr on hand. Not like when us mere mortals go home from hospital, with no help, apart from a as scared as you husband , and in our case two children under two years. In fact we left it eight years until we had any more children .

Careful in those high heels Kate precious cargo!
Wooho, high heels , new dress full make up and hair freshly done…. we all looked like that after we had just had babies..well no we did not but we don’t have a battery of stylists and hairdressers. Seriously Kate way to go.
If we were having coffee: I say good luck for the Paul we hope t all goes well and that you will soon be warm , comfy and cosy in you new DRY flat. We all hope your new apartment will suit you well Paul.
If we were having coffee: On a personal not I delighted to say that I did complete the A to Z April Challenge by writing a Nonet a day for the entire month excepting Sundays when we were allow a day off! I was not brave enough to sign up but I was allowed to use the logo, which I wore with pride. Even though I called my posts Not The A to Z Challenge, I did them every day and I met many brilliant bloggers and read some amazing posts! I shall be braver next year and sign up and do it legitimately!
So many fabulous blogs too many to mention!
If we were having coffee : I would ask if you could do with a refill and a cake. I must close now so lets go and join Paul and all his guests they are all enjoying themselves by the fire!

So great to hear that you had all your men together for a meal Willow. Sounds like you had a great time. I am looking forward to moving and am busying myself this weekend getting ready – so much to toss and laundry to do, and some packing to be done. Thanks for the good wishes, i hope your week goes well, and congrats on the addition to the Royal family. So many have been boys – it will be great to watch a young female royal come into her own – she’s likely to create some furor as she becomes a teen. Take Care Willow!

Thanks Paul, it was a lovely Saturday. Full of joy and surprises.

I’m glad you were able to do the A to Z Challenge on your own terms. Now that you’ve been successful, it will be easier to sign up next year. I completed it, too. It was my first year. I’m already looking forward to next year!
Any guesses on the new princess’ name?
May 04, 2015 @ 09:19:24
Hi Corina I am looking forward to next year to it was challenging but I enjoyed it too. What will they call the princes ? It would be nice if Diana was in the running maybe Elizabeth or maybe they will shock us all and go for something modern like princess summer 😉 xxx
May 04, 2015 @ 14:41:33
I see this morning that the name has been announced. I guess it’s no surprise that Elizabeth is in there. I would have liked to have seen Diana’s name more prominent, though.
May 04, 2015 @ 14:59:43
I would of too but Diana is a name the older royals might bulk at ! Too much history there is that histrionic. But Charlotte a nice nod to Granddad. Elizabeth a nod to Great Gran and Diana for the obvious reasons. 🙂

Happy B-day Willow’s hubby! 🙂
May 04, 2015 @ 09:29:49
Thank you 🙂

To be far poor Kate can’t win if she had not glammed up to leave the hospital she would be ripped to bits in the papers, mind you think we would not envy her having to walk out of hospital after giving birth to have to face a barrage of reporters and well wishers lol 😀
May 04, 2015 @ 12:29:22
Yes I agree the press do make a lot of appearances especially with royals, but they do have it easier than we do they really have no idea of real life they are cushioned. I did write that part of my post tongue in cheek but I do not envy them. 🙂

I could not believe some comments I saw during the pregnancy slating her for wearing clothes she had worn while carrying George, they complain how much the Royals cost but then have a go when they try to be thrifty (and I accept the clothes would not have been cheap originally) I do like that Kate and William do seem to at least be a little more in touch with us mere mortals despite their privileged positions.
May 04, 2015 @ 14:11:10
I have to admit I rarely read what the papers say about anything. I have learned from personal experience they are invasive and pushy and totally uncaring bunch!!!! I better stop there! As I was saying I do hope that Kate and William are as nice as they seem, but he is earning and I wonder are we paying for their homes? if so why. That said I do like them and I am not an anti royalist I just have renovations . That said , again I do wish them well …where is Harry??
May 04, 2015 @ 16:12:44
Harry was down in Australia a few days ago doing the Royal duties for Anzac Day I think but don’t quote me on that
May 04, 2015 @ 16:18:53
No I will not quote you on Harry 😉

It’s always wonderful having your whole family together in one place. I’m pleased to hear you had a fabulous day. 🙂 ❤ ❤
Yay, for the new Princess. How did Kate not get frumpy after her second baby. Look how svelte she is. Sigh.
May 05, 2015 @ 15:15:03
We did have a wonderful day thanks love having the family together , would of been nice if everyone had come. As for Kate, personal trainer on hand, stylist on hand , hairdresser on hand!! lucky girl!! not to mention nannies, nurses and aides! ❤ xx
May 05, 2015 @ 21:31:24
Yeah. Poor Kate probably has to fight the gang to see her babies when she wants. ❤
May 06, 2015 @ 04:26:04
Hehehe it a hard life! 🙂 ❤
May 06, 2015 @ 10:20:20
Harder for some than others. 😀 😀 😀
