homemade pizzas

Today's dinner = Homemade Pizzas.

In fact everything was homemade, the base, the tomato sauce.

Well, that's it, but it's still pretty impressive.

Mum makes a kickass pizza in our opinion!

I'm not a fan of tomatoes so I choose to base my pizza with basil pesto,

for that authentic Italian taste!

I've never tried fresh basil on a pizza before,

and even it doesn't look the most appealing

it was very yummy and something I'll try again.

I love how colourful all the pizzas look,

the mixture of colours make them very appetising!

The whole dinner was a complete family affair,

with Mum making the dough,

Nigel creating a colourful salad,

and us three adding our own toppings to personalise our pizzas.

All I can say is, Tasty!

Have you ever made your own pizzas?

i think summer is here..?

So we had glorious sun yesterday and today looked very promising,

with the weather managing to hold out until 11 o'clock.

In fact it only started to rain once I'd hung a huge load of washing out!

Seriously, summer one second, overcast as soon as the last peg was secured.

Not impressed I tell you!

But even so, I soldiered on,

determined to wear my cute t-shirt and denim shorts combo.

And I snuck outside in between the rain to enjoy the streaming sunshine.

Today the daises have pushed through the lawn to face the world,

and the 'domesticated' potted daises were out in full swing as well.

I can't wait for summer to get into gear.

I'm hoping it's going to be fabulous!

the sun is finally shining

After a long period of rain in delightful little England

the sun has finally decided to show its sunny head.

We had some family members visiting today

that we haven't seen in a long, long time.

So it was lovely to be able to sit out in the garden

and have a chat and a catch up.

When the sun shines it makes all the colours

in the garden pop so much more.

I love the vibrant colours of summer that appear

after the pale pastels of the spring.

With the family over it was another chance

to celebrate my Mother's new engagement to her partner Nigel.

So out came the Champagne and the flutes

and a toast to the happy couple!

And with the sun and the colourful colours

I was able to wear my brand new maxi dress

that is covered in colourful flowers,

so I fit straight in with the garden!

Plus I got to pair it with Nigel's cowboy hat,

I think I looked the business!

revamped and vamped up!

After a long hard think I decided to delete all my old blog posts

and give the whole thing a rework and a new name.

So I'd like to welcome you to the all new

glitter and revelations

My plan is to keep it the same crazy mix

of beauty, fashion and my hectic life.

Plus throw in a few more beautiful pictures and quotes along the way.

To my old followers, I hope you enjoy the new layout,

and to any new followers I hope you like what you see!
