Guess who just turned .....

Happy Birthday Claire!!!

Claire said that she'd wait until 10 o'clock before opening presents this morning, but by 9 o'clock she'd had enough of the waiting and was ready to go...
Enjoy the rest of your birthday Claire!

We love you lots

What makes me smile ...

Jon's grandson Joshua's 5th birthday today! Hope you had a great day Josh and we look forward to hearing about it.

Seeing the girls outside in the sunshine today - riding bikes, taking photos and messing around, makes me smile!
Sitting outside in the sun to sort through the washing
Hearing that the good weather is going to last through the long weekend really makes me SMILE!!!

Hope you all have a good weekend

Wednesday

It's getting late and I don't really have a lot to say. Went into Crawley this morning and took Mum and Dad and Emily. We basically did what shopping we needed to do and then came home again. By the time we got back we were all ready for a quieter afternoon.

I spent a large part of the afternoon going through some of my photos. Found Claire's prom photos from last year - I need to do a scrapbook page! I've printed the photos off and have been playing with them, will let you know when I've finished. Have a few others I'd like to do pages with as well so I guess I better try and sort myself out and find the time!

I also need to celebrate the friends that I have. This photo of Liz and myself was taken when Emily and I went over to Chicago last summer. I love looking at those photos, it was such a good holiday - so relaxing just hanging out with Liz, Simon and the "children". My album is nearly finished, just a few pages left to complete.

I shall be going to bed soon, have a good night

What's happening with the weather?????

Yesterday was a beautiful day and I got to sit outside reading my book for an hour or so. I had the washing on the line to dry and I thought this would be it for at least a few days. Today we woke up to more cloud! I went to pick Mum and Dad up to take them to a garden centre and it was positively chilly, had to borrow a scarf from Mum because I was wearing a low cut top! I just wish it would stop teasing us with the odd sunny day and then more freezing ...... I have chillblanes - haven't had them all winter but I've got them now! and they are sore!!!

Enough complaining .... on to the garden centre!

It was lovely to get a chance to walk around and see the bright flowers on display. I love the violas and these yellow ones had pretty "faces".
Little orange trees also caught my eye. I couldn't help wonder how such little trees could hold so much fruit!

This was a lovely colourful display of ceramic toadstools and little ladybirds at the bottom.

Finally, I bought myself some spring onion, chive and little gem lettuce seeds and am going to attempt to plant them in pots and see how they get on. With luck, I could be picking my own during the summer.

Enjoy the rest of your day

PS. Had an email from Theresa to let me know that Tyler got the all clear at the hospital yesterday - really good news. He's to go again in October just so they can check that his eyes are still fine.
