Welcome to my blog!
I've decided to set this up to share a little bit about the walks that we do, what books I read and basically our life in general. I intend to keep adding different links and information along the way, so please come back from time to time and see what there is, and feel free to comment on anything.

Mothers Day and craft fair

Well, another busy weekend behind us. 

I was at my second craft fair of the year on Saturday - at a Country Store. There were quite a few stalls in a marque, along with other stalls outside. Although it wasn't really windy, or raining, it was so cold all day! I think most of us kept our coats on for the day! 


I just had my wooden shapes with me at this craft fair. Sadly it wasn't very busy, but I enjoyed chatting to some of the other stall holders. And it's all good experience for me. 

And then yesterday was Mothers Day for us in UK. DD brought me a cup of coffee in bed in a new mug. And she'd also bought me a book and even managed to find one that I haven't already got! Quite an achievement for anyone these days as I have so many! We then set off to visit DH's mum first, then my mum later. We took bouquets of flowers for both. And then back home for DD to make the evening meal for me. She made pasta and sauce, making the sauce from scratch, with chicken. 


It was very tasty.  So well done to DD - quite an accomplishment as she doesn't normally cook!

So a very busy, but lovely weekend. 

I've had another trip to the vets today with Freddie  too. Just a check up to make sure her gums had settled down after finishing her antibiotics. Thankfully she seems fine now. And then line dancing again which was good fun. 

And now Monday is almost over its time to start thinking about what crafting I want to get done this week, and what walking we might be able to do at the weekend .....

Friday night

I know. I know. I didn't blog on Wednesday. I consider myself well and truly told off as DH has also made the point that I didn't blog. In my defence, I've been very busy finishing some stock to take to my next craft fair tomorrow. And, as DD has been on her early shifts this week, it means that I've had even less time at night to get anything done before going to bed. 

And my new stock? I seem to have lots! 




I've also made some little Easter egg bunnies and chicks, which look really cute in little nest boxes ......


So you see, I've not been idle this week at all. And I even managed to go line dancing on Monday night. I'd almost forgotten how much I enjoy it, so I'll try not to leave it so long before I go again. 

I've also had another trip to the vets with Freddie to make sure everything was ok after having her teeth out on Saturday. They said she's doing really well, but I need to take her back next week for a final check. 

So much to catch up on!
