TIRED SHADOW

Took Shadow on a little walk and she is a real drama queen she came down the field to work and reckoned she was shattered, she lay there for the whole time we were busy then as if by magic when it was time to go back up to the house she was lively as anything. I think she is a bit of a diva!!!

GRADUATION

Lauras graduation was last Friday and we managed to get a few more tickets last min so Mum and Aaron could go too. It was a very early start 4.45am and a long drive to Chichester but well worth it the day was lovely and great to see Laura graduate. We had all the celebrations when she got her results, but had to wait until now for the official ceremony!... Well Done Laura a hard three years, but you got there with great results we are all very proud of you, and of course I know you couldn't have done it without the constant support of home ha ha should have got you some red shoes and you have clicked your heels!.. I tried the hat on, probably the nearest I am going to get!!! you never know might win the lottery then I can have a go!

HEDGEHOGS!

Here is a picture of Keith and Myrnas hedgehogs I forgot to put it on, don't know how as its the cutest picture ever! I wish we had hedgehogs, I have made several houses for them but no luck!

WORKSHOP /STUDIO!

We have come up with a plan for the winter... its a long way down to the bottom field for my workshop, so we have come up with a plan to partition the garage/shed in half one half is for the wood working and the other an artists studio so Pete can start getting his head around painting!...lucky made her bed in the corner so I guess she is moving in too!... We are having a break from it at the mo as Pete put an electric screwdriver through his thumb so work has halted for a mo!

COFFEE STOP

Well coffee stops and breakfast stops have been a bit sparse over the last two weeks what with Helen and Dave from Lakeside Cafe off gadding about Cyprus! Be glad when they are back! But we did find a suitable drinking hole for Sunday morning, not quite the same but it will do for the time being ha ha Gem seemed to like it and Shadow always glad of a rest... the signet however was less than impressed and the squirrel seemed to spend the whole time running up and down the tree shaking its tail??!!!

CHILLED CATS

COOL GRASSHOPPER!

I found george the grasshopper on Buttercup Cottage's light, he was a very friendly bug, and didn't really go in for the whole jumping thing, just preferred to walk onto my hand. Why are all the animals nuts in this place!

WHO'S HAD ALL THE PIES?

It appears squeaker has, she lays about all day like lady muck, just shouting to be fed and not much else really!

NICE

Memories are heartbeats

that linger through the years.

Echoes never fading,

of our smiles and our tears.

Life is a collection of these memories to share,

a happiness inside that will always be there.

ST IVES

Had a meeting in St.Ives and quite a lot happened in our lunch break! The seagulls were playing in the surf, seeing who could surf in the best without getting smashed into the wall! and one who wanted us to capture his best side and I told him not to pinch my chips and I will take a good picture if he stands up tall.....and he did!!! very odd seagulls down there!! then there was the seal saga, there were seals in really close to the beach and the grey one looked like a pup in trouble, it wasn't moving much, after watching it for a good while, I phoned it in, as the black one kept coming back to it as if to say "come on are you ok?" But after speaking to the dive rescue team, it became apparent that the seal was a female and was sunbathing and the male black one was getting impatient!!! See its the same for every species! I did feel a fool calling it in tho for a sunbathing seal! Oh well, I wouldn't have forgiven myself if it was injured! But it was a lovely day down there, cold but sunny. We had time to peep in a couple of galleries too!!!
