Sunlight on a Cloudy Day

I just HAVE to share this rose with you.  I took this photo this evening… it had been raining here and as I thought it might, the rain had settled on this rose in my garden just to enhance it’s beauty!  I’m not into yellow as a colour, I prefer my pinks, but this rose [...]

TIME - Make it, don’t Find it!

Yes that slippery thing called Time!  Everyone complains of not having enough of it.  Well I say that you have to MAKE TIME for those things you enjoy as a matter of health!
Fellow crafters are often saying that they just don’t get the time to do their crafting.  Some of my scrapbooking group only managed [...]

Our New Addition

This is the new addition to my household!  1,2,3… Ahhhhh!  A sleeping puppy!  My daughter has named her Rosie and she is a Jack Russell.

She is very cute and very small and she will be experiencing her first vet visit this coming week!  I suppose I ought to get scrapbooking some pictures!

Resting Place for my Beloved Dog

I mentioned in a recent post (An October Walk), where I posted some pictures of an oak tree, that I would post a little story about a special Oak.
Well, not too long ago I lived in a house which we renamed “Badgers Oak” when we moved in.  There was a magnificent Oak tree in the [...]

An October Walk

On one of my recent walks with the Dogs I was delighted to witness a beautiful twilight!  My favourite time of day, but so fleeting.  However with the advent of the humble mobile phone camera, I now have a camera with me (most of the time) to be able to capture that fleeting moment in [...]

Simple Question - No answer!

My daughter (aged 6) asked me a very simple and resonable question last night at the dinner table.  It was a question to which my reply was…
“Actually, I have absolutely no idea, and I’m not sure where, or if, I could find a definite answer!”
Trust a child to come up with a simplicity of life that [...]

Vintage Cards & Chicks!

Hello All!!
I have been recruiting again for the Tearooms, and, as a consequence also having to work in the Rooms themselves along with training, etc… phewee is putting it very politely!!
So, I have been away from the Blogs, etc. 
Anyway, I have posted here, some small cards I made recently which are very quick to make and [...]

A Father’s Day Note

This is just a little note… out to the Ether really… A Special Father’s day thought to my Dad, Chris Norman, who sadly, was taken from me back in January 2005 aged only 55.  I just felt I needed to say it permanently somewhere, as I have no grave to visit, no plaque to gaze [...]

Time for a Change!

Time for a Change… “of what?” you may ask.

Well sometimes you just need a change of scenery!  this was my scenery this afternoon, after deciding that I needed to “get out” and clear my head of numbers!

I decided it was best I took the dogs for a walk before the rain came down… in fact [...]

Saying Goodbye to Oscar

Today was a bit of a sad day for me, as I had to bury one of my Koi.  Oscar just didn’t make it through, what with the move from the old house to the holding tank and then into the new pond, coupled with the very cold weather we have just had. 
He was about [...]
