no. 79 - Give Ned a cuddle


Hurrah! After a year of waiting, I finally got to meet the wonderful little Nedster and give him a cuddle. He's such a fantastic little boy, and a real credit to his parents Beth and Tomos. I hope to have many more cuddles with him before he gets to that age nwhere he'll run away and get embarrassed when all his "aunties" try to kiss him.

(By the way, he didn't make the same face as in this picture when I cuddled him! lol)

No. 42 - Go for a clifftop walk


Cornwall proved fruitful for my 101 things list! On Saturday we walked across the cliffs from Goran Haven to Mevagissey. It was a beautiful, blustery walk and we rewarded ourselves with beer and food once we got there. Lovely way to spend a day.

No. 28 - buy a funky silver ring to wear on my right hand


Oops. I appear to have bought two. We found a fabulous little shop in Mevagissey where the rings were much cheaper than in London. I couldn't help myself!

No. 7 - Order a fish dish in a restaurant


Having never liked fish, I'm teaching myself - and where better to order a fish dish than in one of Rick Stein's places? We were in Cornwall with friends, and went to Rick Stein's St Petroc's Bistro in Padstow. I had a haddock fillet crusted with thyme and caraway on a heap of cabbage and bacon, in beer and beurre blanc sauce. It was delicious - and the first time I have ever ordered fish! Hurrah!
