It's Wonderful

When you come across something in the garden , you haven't seen before. Here it is one the Wild Rose Bush  any ideas. 




I had a dance around the Kitchen this Morning . No I haven't gone Loopy or anything. A fly or so I thought flew past me , and I felt a tickle near my neck. So I brushed him away ......
but it wasn't the fly that made me dance..It was a huge house Spider must have been sitting on my shoulder. 
Well you can imagine Aghhhhhhhhhh!  
I swept him to the floor and he scurried off . It left me quite jumpy this Morning .

We have had heavy rain here over the Weekend . But the worst of it hit the East side of the Country. Bringing down a huge Tree in one town, no one was hurt. 

Thinking of Beth right now and hoping and Praying all goes well for her, sending her positive thoughts. 

Bye for Now ..

June has passed

and what a fine a sunny one one it has been. 

 Strawberry Fields this is the Restaurant my friend I go once every 4 weeks. 
 My new garden chair , with Lucy enjoying a day in the garden with her Ball.
 That dear little Tree stump , after The Fir Tree was cut down.

Ice-Berg Roses so very hardy , hence the name. 

It's been awhile since my last post. I had a visit from my sister , in fact I took her to that Restaurant she loved it. Fresh produce which is grown on the farm, it has a  very good reputation. Roast Lamb and roast potatoes and fresh veg. 
I do hope July continues to Shine just like June, but at the moment it's overcast. But we just have to accept that, and  enjoy each day as it comes.
Must catch up now reading your posts. 
Bye for now..

Some of my flowers especially the Roses.....

are doing just fine and I think also some wild roses have done well to. Weather wise it's been a bit on and off as far as Sunshine is concerned. But I'm not complaining far from it, it's just so good taking in that early morning fresh warmish air. The stillness and the sound of the morning choir's , The birds flitting around my feeders . I don't know who said it but there is a saying.. Just take time to smell the flowers.
Here are just a few .


It's been awhile since my last posting , sometimes I just don't know where the time goes. Busy with every day things , it's nice just to sit outside in that garden and smell the Roses.
But I have been catching up and reading my Blogger friends. That alone gives me great pleasure and just have to say thank you.
Enjoy the rest of your week.

The Trees Are Blooming




Love this time of year when everything springs back into Life.

Sad to hear some of my Friends have had Snow across the Pond, how strange is that. 

I have had a wonderful week, a visit from my sister . A few days eating out , shopping , and the Cherry  Blossom Trees are a sight to see, in the local  Park. The park was full of children playing, being school out for the Easter  break. Smashing day out all round. 
Sunshine brings out the best in us all. 

Hope you all had a lovely Easter break with your family or friends, time to snap some more pictures out there.Take care catch you later, think I have a bit of catching up to do. Bye..

Spring Time '



Well I think just about everyone looks forward to Spring. Especially the first signs of the Daffodils and Snowdrops. 
A few weeks ago one of the Fir Trees had to be cut down. It was down to it obstructing the power lines . Gosh I miss that tree , although she did have a slight tilt. Piles of Logs for an open fire, if you may wish. My neighbors where delighted when I said you may help yourselves. In return they gave me a few bottles of Wine. 

How's the Wild life here in the garden, not an awful going on. I think we tend to forget from year to year. Maybe it is a quiet time for them feeding and seeking out a mate. They know when the time is ready. At least the 2 Acres here are there for the taking , and the wildlife can help themselves. 


At least there is a bit of color coming in to the garden now. 

It's quite dreary out there at the moment..But the South East of England are having 20c  quite a sunny day and warm. 
Maybe it will make it way over here to the South West. 
Enjoy your Weekend

His little feet scurried ..


across the road as fast as they could carry him. I was on my way to do a bit of shopping , and noticed there was no traffic behind me. I gently braked letting him reach the other side of the road. It was indeed a murky day and drizzled most of the morning. 
Wednesday is Market Day in town though only small you can pick up a bargain or two. I bought an Indian cook book and a pretty pack of notelets..I still put pen to paper now and then, especially to my friend in London. We have been writing since I moved away 15 years ago. But we never fail to keep in touch , in the good old fashion way. 
Before my cup of coffee in my favourite bar , I had a quick check up appointment at the dentist. All clear glad to say and no hefty bill.
 Parched I was ready for that coffee , and sitting in the window view area I manged to get my favourite seat. I just love watching the World go by , and people watching. I find it very relaxing and sometimes it can be very interesting. 
Take the day ..a dear old lady was at the crossing and about to cross. But as she did so she dropped her plastic shopping bag. Not realising she carried on. The traffic lights were still blinking , but the front driver stopped and got out of his car. He retrieved the shopping bag (he held up his hand to the waiting traffic) and gave it to her. In he got and the traffic patiently waited, well I thought isn't that just dandy! 
It's still raining here right now with hail stone flurries. Dark one minute and then it lightens up. 
It is nice to catch up and have been away far too long.
Wishing you well and enjoy the remaining weekend.
