The Real World...

Trade a fantasy with reality and you might just feel like Alice back from Wonderland.The world may not sparkle and shine, but the ground will be solid beneath your feet, and your eyes will be open to all the adventures that lie waiting, right here, in the real world...

Making Marmalade With Mammy!

Today me and my Mam made orange marmalade! It was sooooooo much fun! :)
 
Last night we juiced the fruit and left the skin and pith to steep all night. We threw in lemon and lime to bitter it up a little ;)
 
 
Then today we boiled it all up with sugar after she chopped up the oranges nice and small to make the peel for the marmalade.
 
 
After it changed colour it was ready to put into the jars. We put the jars into the oven to heat them and then when they were nice and warm got pouring!
 
 
After that we decorated them... And "Voilà" we were done! Yummers!!! A day spent with Mammy is a day spent well! <3
 

If You Don't Want To Love Me

When you lower me down,
So deep that I can't get out,
When you're lost and alone,
Yes you'd think it was the last place you'd come back for more.

If you don't want me to leave, then don't push me away,
I'd rather blow out the lights, than watch them all fade,
But I'm going nowhere...

I'm gonna stay,
When you just wanna fight,
When you're closing your eyes,
'cause you don't wanna love me.

I'm gonna stay,
You can't push me too far,
There's no space in my heart,
Where I don't wanna love you.

When there's no storm,
Then how can I feel the calm?
If there's nothing left to lose,
Then what is this feeling that keeps on bringing me back to you?

So I'm gonna stay,
When you just wanna fight,
When you're closing your eyes,
'cause you don't wanna love me.

You can't push me too far,
There's no space in my heart,
Where I don't wanna love you.

If you asked me to leave, and I walked away,
We'd still be alone and we'd still be afraid.
So I'm going nowhere.

I'm gonna stay when you just wanna fight,
And there's tears in your eyes,
'cause you don't wanna love me.

Yes I'm gonna stay,
All the tears that I've cried,
I can leave them to dry,
If you don't wanna love me.
