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. 

I Dropped My

Camera and am  I lost without it, don't know about you but getting used  to a new one isn't very exciting.  Reading up on the manual which you need a magnify glass Eye see!

Well the storm has passed , and glad to say not too bad around this area , only blew off my old summer house roof. It landed in the front garden which was a relief..it's pretty old so it needs to come down in the New Year.  

So much rain heavy and for day's on end. 

Today is calm cold and no rain ..
Monday hope to meet up with my lady friend , she is doing well and at least she is in her own home. Her daughter's live only a few miles up the road to. We shall dine out for lunch at our usual place . Roast Dins and coffee for me and Wine for my friend. 

Enjoy your Weekend I shall be doing my rounds today ,to see how you are all getting on. Take Care and stay warm. 

A Storm is Brewing

This is the  Lull before the storm , Tomorrow will bring winds up to 90 miles per hour. Always still,  not a sound with birds taking heed..maybe getting ready also. Battern down my pots and baskets and anything else that may fly into the air.  They say the last one like this was 1987, with lots of trees down and damage. 
I shudder to think.

I have nothing planned over the weekend , so the kitchen is where I,m heading. I have a craving for a Iced chocolate cake and Cookies. 
So enjoy Hallowen may it be a enjoyable time , with your family.  
Take care and have a relaxing Weekend. 

These little guys where the only new arrivals here on the Pond top of my garden. Mum well I don't have to tell you which one that is.

What a Wonderful Summer we've had this year . August I was kept busy in the Garden as per usual , but also relaxing out there . 

I've had a few Lunches with my lady friend she's 93 . Her husband has been in and out of Hospital and now is back in the care home. She said he just isn't happy there , would rather be home I guess. That was tried but he had a fall during the early hours , and was taken into to hospital. I think he was there for quite a while , until a care home was found for him. But alas he's just not very happy at all , which in turn makes her unhappy to. 

Blackberry picking last week and a few apples from the Orchid.

Happy to say I made a apple and blackberry crumble. Served with  Cream or custard which do you prefer ..

A few weeks ago a few friends dropped by for a cuppa and we had a chat up by the Pond .So very relaxing just watching the fish and ducks swimming around, sitting on the bench.I must  admit as much as I love the seasons , wish they could last a bit longer summer seems to fly by. 

Well enjoy your coming week , the suns shining as present so I'm off outside. :)
