What I have loved this week! Week 28. #FridayFavourites

Happy Friday! I hope you’ve had a good week. Mine has been a good one. We've had lots of family time, days out and plenty of time to relax. Over the weekend we went to a local country show which was a favourite but I have a whole post coming about that, these are just the little things which I have been loving and I am of course linking up with Erika and Andrea to share.

What I have loved this week

The Sheep Detectives!
Every night a shepherd reads aloud a murder mystery, pretending his sheep can understand. When he is found dead, the sheep realise at once that it was a murder and think they know everything about how to go about solving it.

I love movies with talking animals and this was just brilliant! The Sheep Detectives on Amazon Prime was such a fun and easy watch, although there were some moments when I felt myself tearing up. The sheep all have their own funny personalities and I got way more invested in them than I expected. It's a mystery but it's not too serious, so you can enjoy it without having to think too hard and it has Hugh Jackman, which is a bonus!

Fudge!

Fudge

Of course I got some fudge from the country show that we went to over the weekend and I have been eating it slowly, as I know I won't get any more until next year. I got Turkish Delight, Skittles, Baileys, Eton Mess and Malibu coconut rum flavour!

Project Hail Mary!
A science teacher wakes up alone on a spaceship. As his memory returns, he uncovers a mission to stop a mysterious substance killing Earth's sun, and realises that an unexpected friendship may be the key.

I finally watched Project Hail Mary on Amazon Prime. I'm not usually someone who gets excited about films set in space but this one, I enjoyed. It had me laughing, it had me worrying about what was going to happen next and I didn't want it to end. Ryan Gosling was great but Rocky stole the show for me. It wasn't all serious either, there were loads of funny moments mixed in with all the drama.

Horse Art!
Last year, at the show, I held off buying things until the end of the day and a lot of what I wanted was sold out. I ended up buying a little horse thing in a frame made of feathers but really wanted one made from shotgun cartridges. This year I got one to go with the feather one from last year.

England!
We're through to the quarter-finals of the World Cup and I think if we can get past Norway tomorrow night we might get to the final. I didn't stay up and watch the England v Mexico match, the 1am start was too late for me and then it got put back until 2am because of the weather. I did catch up on it when I got up and it was one of the best matches of the tournament and I'm not just saying that because I am from England. I shouldn't laugh after Jordan Henderson was injured but he did something special, getting a yellow card and being stretchered off without even playing a second of football. lol I hope he makes a speedy recovery.

Things growing in my garden!

Corn silk and tomatoes

Last week in my Word of the Week I mentioned my garden is doing well and this week it has got even better. The corn silk has started growing on my sweetcorn plants, which means there are ears of corn growing. I noticed my pepper plants have mini peppers on and my tomatoes are growing too! My flowers are blooming and the weeds are not actually taking over. I feel so pleased with my garden this year!

What have you loved over the past week?

  2. The Sheep Detective does sound cute- I mean the concept not that the shepherd dies. We haven't seen Project Hail Mary but everyone says it's good so we do plan to see it. I'm glad you liked it! Donnie really enjoyed watching the England match- he was rooting for them and will root for them to win it all :). The horse art is so unique and cool and your garden- all that growth- so exciting!!

  3. My eldest son went to see Project hail Mary at the movies a few months ago and he said he enjoyed it. I didn't know it was on Amazon Prime, I'll have to see if we have it over here. I'm very excited for the England vs Norway game!

  4. That fudge is calling my name- one of my favorite things about beach towns around here are the little shops- especially the candy shops that make their own fudge- yum!
