Just a Very Random Blog Post

Since the last post we haven't done much


I have been knitting,


and embroidering and appliqueing.


We have been to Bristol to take some of Robert and Anneka's things back to them.  They left loads of stuff with us when they went travelling  They let their flat on an eighteen month let.  Although they have been back a year they only managed to move back in August this year so now they are collecting their belonging back slowly for various places.


This happened in the garden one afternoon
Pigeon on the seed tray, Crow, Seagull and Magpie!  Think I might send it to RSPB


My husband went shopping and came back with a small bunch of flowers.........


Well its the thought that counts!


My friend Meg gave the first of the season Bramleys


We picked the Blackberries from the bottom of the garden.  This is just a few I have two bags in the freezer.


We needed a new Address Book, found this one in a charity shop - now we could see why!

Things don't change do they - this was an article dated May 1992.  I found this morning whilst having a chuck-out.  Click on picture to make larger.


Here is the text for the article.

Have you worked out the answer ....................

  2. Lovely collection of pictures. I think the birds photo is a perfect example of harmony even if it's just for a few minutes.
