Welcome to my world....
Our street “New Meadow” had a street party on Sunday Monday 4th June 2012 to celebrate our Queen Elizabeth II’s 60 years on the throne. Bunting was in abundance not only strung across the street, but also individual houses were decked out in bunting and flags.

Our 34th Wedding Anniversary At The Soar Mill Cove Hotel
Steve and I decided last year to take it in turns to arrange a night away in a hotel to celebrate our Wedding Anniversary. Well as we have now been married for so long (and Steve deserves a long service medal for putting up with me for so long, ) we thought it would be nice to celebrate each year in a different Hotel overnight stay. Last year Steve arranged an overnight stay down in Looe in Cornwall at the Hannafore Point Hotel which was lovely, so I then had to decide where to take him this year.

Olympic Torch on Plymouth Hoe 19/5/2012
As it is a once in a lifetime experience, Steve and I were planning to go and see the torch pass through our nearby towns of Brixton, Yealmpton or Modbury on the Sunday 20/5/2012, but decided at the last minute to go up on Plymouth Hoe for the first location for one of the evening celebrations. We decided to go in on the Park and Ride from Plympton, into the City Centre and then walk the short distance up to the World famous spectacular Plymouth Hoe, which overlooks Plymouth Sound. The iconic structure Smeaton’s Tower lighthouse was lit up for this very special occasion. [Read more…] about Olympic Torch on Plymouth Hoe 19/5/2012
Taking our Silver To An Antiques Fair
In addition to selling from our Silver2treasure eBay Shop and our antique silver website, Steve and I have decided that we might like to start selling at antiques fairs again. We did actually sell at fairs many years ago, when we had just started the business, and were in the process of building up our stock. To be honest it was hard work, sorting the items out, labelling them all up with the price and information, packing them up, unpacking them and displaying on the tables and then at the end of a long day packing them all back up again. And during the day panicked if anything sold at the fair, hoping that it would not also sell on ebay before we got home in time to take it off. [Read more…] about Taking our Silver To An Antiques Fair
