So I finally finished Jam’s lovespoon. I meant to write a post about its design at the time, but I was trying to keep it a secret. Traditionally Lovespoons were created by the menfolk for their ladies, different elements meant different things (facinating article here). I knew that I wanted hearts to be part of Read more about The story of a spoon[…]
So yesterday was Jam’s birthday meaning he officially joins me in the ‘yes we are nearly 30 club’. To celebrate we both took the day off and went to see the hobbit in 3D. The film was excellent but I’m not sure the 3D made that much sense to be honest, it was only Read more about Happy birthday Jam[…]
The new carpet was fitted on Monday so Monday night I pleaded with Jam to get our tree out of the attic.

Firstly and most importantly Jam passed his exam! He definitely deserved to as he’s been revising really hard for weeks! He bought himself a mini keg of Abingdon ale from the excellent Loose Cannon brewery and I got some roses for being a patient girlfriend & not moaning (that much) about him ignoring me (you Read more about Circus weekend[…]
So this weekend after one and a half years of dating along the A34 (Jam lived in Newbury while I frequented the substantially more awesome Oxfordshire) Jam finally moved in with me! This did mean a sad farewell to Dave the housemate (also known as Gravy Davey, photographer, friend of Mabel, eater of lime Doritos Read more about Jam moves in[…]
So after a year and a bit together my beloved Jam has finally agreed to move into Mason du Rose! To say that I’m really excited would be an understatement but I’m a little scared as well (what if it doesn’t work out? What if Jam can’t sleep? What if I’m actually really annoying and Read more about A Jam plan (or invasion)[…]
