‘Good things come to those who wait’ said someone once, and they were right.  Anticipate the release of an exciting new collection and it’ll feel a lifetime of agony, but when it’s launched the reward is sweet.  Few full bust lingerie lines offer enough to be genuinely thrilling […]

Playful Promises Fuller Busted | Playful Portia

Hepburn & Leigh ‘Garter Girl’ Photo Shoot

January 17, 2014

Boudoir Treats | The House of Seduction

January 8, 2014

Lingerie serves many purposes in my life: a lot of the time it’s simply a quest for comfy and well fitting underwear; a curvy figure of fuller boobs and a bum isn’t the easiest to dress in this domain.  So when it boils down to […]

I was so excited to find black elder growing in th I was so excited to find black elder growing in the garden when we moved here. It’s a dark shrub that flowers pink blossoms which turn to elderberries in the autumn. It’s not as common as the white flowering elder you see in the countryside everywhere. Now that’s lovely stuff to make elderflower cordial with but let me tell you, pink elderflower is something else! 

I made this myself last week. Picked the flowers Wednesday morning, let them steep in the sugary lemon syrup then filtered and bottled it Saturday morning.  So now I have just shy of four litres of this concentrated fruity-floral gorgeousness to sip through the rest of the summer. 😋 It’s lovely just with water and ice but it’s so good with lemonade too - might also try it with a shot of vodka. 😉 

Has anyone tried this before? Would you have a drink of it?

This is the best time of year. Flowers in bloom. Strawberries. Daylight hours still increasing. Hot sun. Okay I live in my sunglasses because sunshine gives me headaches and heat makes me nap but it’s all good. ☀️ 😎
Saw The Corrs at Scarborough Open Air Theatre last Saw The Corrs at Scarborough Open Air Theatre last night thanks to winning tickets from TK Maxx. They were SO GOOD! 🥁🎤 It was great hearing them play all their instruments and sing so effortlessly.  Runaway and Breathless were *chefs kiss* 👌🏻Dreams makes me think of being 16 again in the 90s, well, before the crap part. 
Awesome night. Teeth chatteringly cold in my little dress but brill experience.  Now I have a dehydration headache cos I was too anxious to drink. 😆

Oh how I WISH this was today 😂😂😂 Actually Oh how I WISH this was today 😂😂😂 Actually went to the beach the other week, just never posted about it. I’m layered up with a knitted jumper and cardi over the top while I wait in hope of this week’s *warmer* forecast. But right now, I AM FREEZING MY TITS OFF! 🤣

I’m not good at getting myself out in my car. La I’m not good at getting myself out in my car. Last week was half term and I went out once. 😂 Went to Mum’s though which is a big trip for me. I find anxiety and hypermobility pains a bit of a mix behind the wheel, and I’m hoping the painful knee I have right now isn’t a result of driving cos that’d suck. But I’m soldiering on. 😅  I’m fine with tootling about to the shops and doing the school run. 🌸
