Bumble Bees at work my little visitor

Whilst at work I had myself a little visitor or should I say two!

These little fellows were helping me weigh up some seed. It was so nice seeing these majestic creatures flying around me and then landing on my seed.

I believe this species is Psithyrus Vestalis otherwise known as the Cuckoo bumblebee.

I had this little guy land on the sleeve of my jumper where he must have sat relaxing for almost an hour where he landed.

I read somewhere that these little fella's can be quite a nasty little thing to other bee species and will work their magic at wiping out other queen bees.

There are only 6 cuckoo bumblebee species in the UK. The 2 main features that these bees have that set them apart from other bumblebees include: Back legs that are covered in hair, with no pollen baskets – you will never see a cuckoo bumblebee with pollen lumps on its legs. The wings that appear dusky or dark.

Tigerprints T's

Two days ago I received a parcel through the post from www.tigerprints.co.uk
Before this week I'd never heard of the lady Mary who runs this business let alone seen any of her products. I'm glad I have now.

Mary runs a t-shirt printing company called tigerprints. No it's not your average t-shirt printing as Mary believes that children and adults alike should be able to be an individual starting from their choice of tops to wear. 
The family runs business which originates from Bedfordshire takes everyday and makes it fun with their range of personalised t-shirts.

With designs ranging from dinosaurs to zebra or names to quotes printed on these very special tops very top ordered can be personalised to the high quality  you'd expect from a small business.

I ordered two different tops at the beginning of week.
One organic top in green (a little bit more expensive) and an ordinary red tshirt.

  I love the fact that both tops are very bright, after two washes kept its color with no color running. 

The organic green top with its giraffe print is noticeably softer to touch I've had a hard time getting Tj to take it off ( he has a thing about soft clothes). It's definitely worth the extra few pennies. 

The size I ordered was 9 - 10, the top has plenty of growing room for Tj he's not the slimmest of children due to his rugby playing frame. 

I choose to have a giraffe printed on the front which is central to the top with the head ending just below the neck line. 

The red top is long sleeved good quality cotton. The sleeves are cuffed which helps prevent them from riding up. The ribs on the cuff are loose, so there is room to move around, plenty of room to hold tissues. 

The size I ordered was 9 -11 years. This top is big enough to last a few years and a few growth spurts.

I look forward to buying a few more tops in the future. It's never to early to buy Christmas presents for friends and family these are definitely being added to my Christmas budget this year. 

Lush, the confession!

Omg I'm in love with Lush's product called 'FUN' .

It comes in various colors and scents Orange, Blue, Pink, Green, Yellow and I recently found out they do a Gold bar.

The product has a 4 in 1 usage. It can be used as play dough, shampoo, bubbles and a soap. 

I have found the Pink smells of vanilla with a slight scent of caramel.

• Yellow smells like play dough.
• Blue smells of lavender.
• Green smells of lemon and lime.
• Orange smells well of oranges.

Tj's favourite is the Green each bath time he covers himself in Green 'fun' from head to toe and acts like an alien.

Myself I prefer the Yellow 'fun' before my bath I break a small bit off and make a small ball and place triangles around so it looks like the sun. before crumbling it up under the tap to give myself lots of bubbles.

Using the product to wash with leaves skin feeling soft and smelling fresh.

I have yet to wash my hair with it as my hair tends to not like anything except Aussie shampoos and conditioners. Tj on the other hand has had his washed and it leaves his hair all fluffy and smelling again fantastic,

I give this product 4 out of 5 a product that I will keep on buying for a long time from now.

Canoeing down Wareham river

Tranquility at its best.

I don't often take TJ Near the sea. It's only 5 minutes down the road, lately I never seem to have time to do anything. My days are filled with silly tasks that take up so much time.
Today I just took the time with Tj and went canoeing although the tide was out when we arrived, we popped into the Saturday market and brought a net and bucket to fish with while the tide was low and waiting till it came in.
We payed for an hour to canoe up and down the river. I was so proud of Tj getting the hang of paddling together as a team.

The Wareham canoeing hut on the Quay provides life jackets for everyone of all shapes and sizes.

There are many types of boats available with engines and others without. 

I would recommend if you haven't already rented a boat to do so.
It was so tranquil and such beautiful scenery up and down the river. I for one was so glad I took the time to go today.
