Warm September

Well it's been a while since my last post but Blogspot has almost lost my interest . By that I mean I can't leave comments unless I sign Annoymous , so please bare with me. Also friends can't get onto my posts, so I hope you can today.

September has been at it's warmest for over a week now, and for most of the Country. So lots of people are out enjoying themselves on our beautiful Coast line along Devon and Cornwall.

Getting back to the garden when the lawn has been mowed it looks like the above , so with the fine weather it's looking good . The holly bush is coming along nicely , crab apple tree and the remaining Hydrangea's are still a pretty blue. There has also been new arrivals on the pond as you can see which took me by surprise. But at least it has been warm for them , they are now be 3weeks old. It's been 3 weeks since my sisters visit which seems like a lot longer than that. It was great to have a lovely girlie time and we went out every day. As we won't see each other now for at least 10 months at least. Wile-e was very excited to see her and in his excitment (unknown to us) pulled all the stuffing out of his duvet. The room looked like a snow storm had hit it. Little Tinker we couldn't tell him off though we just laughed. :)

Friday is cake cooking day for me and I found a lovely little recipe for Little Lemon Puddings. It makes a nice change and they are very light , from the Victoria Sponge recipe. So I make about ten in my ramikins. I shall put the recipe on later today or tomorrow.

Till then bye for now and enjoy the warm sunshine while it's still here , catch you later. :)

Life and little Treat's ...

Hi everyone I hope you are all enjoying the Summer, although rain it must. Here is another picture of little Poppy my sister's dog. Getting back into the swing of things again sometimes it takes just that little bit longer.

But Wile- e and I just Love a stroll round our garden . I noticed a few days ago the black caterpillar gathering on the nettles which are always left , in the same area of the garden for these little fellows. They creep off somewhere safe and form a lovely little black chrysalis . I am not sure how long for exactly , and in turn you have the Peacock butterfly. Now isn't that just one of life's little miracle's.
Back to my Holiday at my sister's I don't know If I mentioned it , but she also has an African Grey Parrot. What A mimic quite incredible. Little Poppy below has put on a little weight since I last saw her. Well sis has a naughty habit of feeding her tit bits. Roly Poly was a regular word from Billie (the parrot) and many more besides , which had me in stitches oh soo funny quite entertaining I must say. I read in our local paper that Brat Pitt was filming here in nearby Falmouth , 60 miles from where I live . This being his latest blockbuster . So it was interesting to hear that the cast and crew where all enjoying our Cornish Pasty. 700 pasties where delivered to them to enjoy , made in the local factory in Falmouth . They then later had a further order of 500 sandwiches so that was indeed a busy day for all the staff concerned.Contributing you could say to the making of the film., to one of Hollywoods best known actor's. Yayeee..

Have a great Weekend although we have had a little drizzle the past two days looks to brighter as the weekend Approaches glad to say. :) Enjoy the little things in life it has got to bring a smile to your face :)

Those Roses ...Woosh!! Blue-Tits

After a day in the garden I stopped by the sound of the twittering sound of Blue-Tits high in the Fir tree. I missed them they were nesting in the little box , one minute they were there and the next they had took flight. You have to be pretty quick to catch a glimpse of these little fellows taking their first flight. But the beautiful sound of them all was enough to put a smile on my face.

The top photo is my parsley which I use on various dishes mainly fish. The orange flower is a flaming Katy such a pretty colour and quite easy to grow. The past few days have been glorious sunshine a warm temperatures so not had a chance to catch up on your posts till today. Beth I must say I am thoroughly enjoying your life story , thank you very much for sharing this with us. :)

Well I was amazed at what I saw this morning outside on my Roses !! There quietly sitting underneath a leaf was a white spider. I was pruning them at the time I have never come across one of these before , and even more shocking was he had caught a small bumble bee . Has anyone ever come across one of these before ..

I am taking a holiday next week for a few days to visit my brother in Newcastle. I am looking forward to seeing him and the family. Yet the weather man said it is about to change oh well there is nothing worse than travelling in the hot sun is there !! :)

Have a great week stay happy and well see you later. :)

Little Snowdrops and things.

Well it's been a lovely day here so far especially after yesterday, pretty dull and rained all day. Lucky for me I had a lunch date with my old friend, so headed for the Local Restaurant. We both had a roast dinner consisting of roast beef roast potatoes and fresh seasonal vegetables. Deli sh!We didn't stay out too long as she had to get back, family matters.
Oh it's so nice to catch up and have a natter...
Arlene I have tried to get on your post today and left a comment, but I don't think it worked.I will try again later. I thought I would just mention this as it's not the first time it's happened to me.
About 7am this morning I heard a couple of Geese flying over the house heading towards my Pond. I ventured up a little later and they were checking the place out. It's been a few years now since they nested here on the pond, so I will just have to wait and see. For those of you who haven't seen a baby gosling up close , you could be in luck fingers crossed.
Enjoy the rest of your day take care and stay happy.
