Lemonshade

Let me just explain the very obscure name I have given this blog..

Have you ever seen those hilarious videos of adorable chubby babies trying lemons for the first time. Their reactions are priceless. Ever since I was a little bubba I've loved lemons! I would have made the most boring video ever. I would sit there and suck on lemons and ice because obviously cake and custard was just too main stream. As the years went by I began to love everything lemon. Mark's and spencer lemon cake is my heaven on earth and I literally worship anybody who brings me a slice.... who am I kidding?? I mean the whole thing!! Now with this knowledge i can begin to explain...

On my 21st birthday I was having the worst day of my life (or so I thought at the time of my late adolescent life). My friend had cancelled last minute. I had no money. I hated the job I was working at and I felt like I had no one who cared for me on this very special day. Anyways after crying my eyes out for the entire day my lovely boyfriend came over with the biggest chocolate cake I have ever seen! He persuaded me to go to my mum's house the next day. So off we go and when we get there there are about three more cakes waiting for me on the table. Including my lemon cake! I was at this point over the moon and had forgotten all about the horrible day before as I felt so loved. I then went off to buy a lamp because I broke the lovely one I had whilst moving. All glittery and glam and better than the last one. It was gorgeous! Although these things are not massive events or anything to shout home about they made me so happy. It's like a light bulb went off in my head. I am happy. I have people who love me and although they may be few and far between they love me whole heatedly and would even buy me my lemon cake and a lampshade for my darkest days.

So lemons&lampshades is all about the things you love and sharing them with the people who love you...and most importantly a reminder to...

...Be happy!
