REFLECTIONS

I took this picture on a very early morning walk, beautiful perfect reflection…love it… sometimes you don't see all the good things when you are in a rush...

A DAY IN OUR LIFE!

After being awoke by a monster running over my bed…well it was smart chasing a mouse…This was 4am and the mouse was squeaking so thought better save it, Pete and I in our PJ's were rugby tackling a 2 inch mouse that had jaws of doom trying to rescue it.. I am not sure he was that grateful by the look of the chunks it was trying to take out of our hands. Finally last ditch attempt by Pete he did an ace slide tackle into the wardrobe and secured the mouse and put it out side. We hadn't spoke to each other until then… we just assumed positions and went to war on the mouse, like clockwork!!… Then back to bed for a long sleep all until 5.30am when the alarm of "the Muppet's" went off, I had forgotten to change the time to our lie in of 6.30am… so got up and thought better get on… filled up petrol in Steve's car, helped Laura into her toga for teaching Romans at school, packed them both off to school to teach and college to learn it was now 7.30am, fed animals, put horses back in field they were supposed to be in after an escape…., fed us, walked the dogs and then to post office to get the euros for our short break, posted the multitude of letters for work, and somewhere between the post office and the car only 5 yards, someone must have seen me drop my euros and instead of saying "excuse me I think you have dropped something" they thought B***** it Ill nick what she has dropped cause I couldn't give a monkey about anyone…. and they stole my euros right under my nose but i didn't realise until i got to the bank… so i spent the next few hours trying to find any CCTV to see who it was in the bank and post office with no avail, then a visit to the police station to report it…. then went to pay Steve's dental bill, which I could have bought Simon cowells gnashers the price of that… thought not a good day had a massive cream bun to cheer me up….so the one break we thought we could have after not the best year... with no trauma someone messes that up,,, have to work another week to get that back..… why are some people so horrid, the amount of things I have handed in and given back the shop keeper of the wrong change as someone will have to pay out of their wages…. but when I need the same …it doesn't happen…..Then on to do the shopping, back to unload, had 45 mins to unload, peel all the veg for tea prepare the meat and chuck it …oh sorry place it nicely! in the oven in the hopeful event the timer will work this time and cook my tea as mum and Aaron were coming for tea, ran out the door to a meeting, saw some clients, appeared calm and unfazed if only they knew…. back to rescue tea from oven, fed all, washing , drying, dishes, pack lunches, sort work for next day, checked bookings, finally sat down at 10.30pm…. We will be very glad of a couple of days break! Well thats half of it

KITTENS

I miss having loads of animals breeding and the nightmare it brings!… Heres a picture of when the kittens arrived, right in the middle of changeover!… mmm maybe I don't miss it… ha ha

CAKES AND CAKES

I found these pictures, thought I would share with you… I made all these crazy creations, not quite as the pros do it… but had good fun making out of stuff in the cupboard! I have hundreds more, but these just hit me from my computer thought I'd add them!

MADE THIS!

Ok I know you think I have lost the plot, but here is my latest wacky addition….I love it, but then I would, there must be people out there that appreciate this stuff, when I have enough I am going to try to sell it and see what happens…. am taking orders now! ha ha

AFTER THE STORM

You wouldn't know the storm had been after a day or so, the sun came out and the sky was perfectly blue, could have been summer… except for the bitter wind!… Canada geese ready to migrate… I think they migrate? and moorhens, cootes, swans all there having a yap…. Lovely place to be, dogs love their walk to Par beach, never get fed up of that walk… love it!

FUNGI?

Noooo I am not talking about pete… I found this mushroom, thing…do you know what it is??? It is about 25cm-30cm tall?

HALLOWEEN CAKES

Halloween came and went no trick or treaters, as next doors little ones were elsewhere, and no one else was brave enough to walk up the long dark scary lane! But I made some buns for Kian and Erin next door to enjoy on Halloween, and Laura had some too, as her and Kait  had a Halloween celebration! dressed as cats I think… 22 and not any sight of growing up.. ( good on you Laura, follow family tradition!) We heard some fireworks outside, the dogs went mad so huddled them in the downstairs loo, they seems a bit better in there, not nice for the animals this time of year, but they did make a good show in the sky, great view from our lounge… thanks everyone!...

RAINBOW

They always appear whenever I think about them (if you have bought my book you will see the relevance of this… if not why haven't you!! ha ha only kidding), and this one appeared on the 20th October…fitting as it was mums birthday!

THE WORLD HAS GONE MAD!

I found this cute little toast rack and thought, ah thats a good idea nice present maybe for the ones who love rustic…or maybe I could make one!! I turned over the bottom to see the price and its 45 quid!!!! I couldn't believe my eyes, really can you justify £45 on a toast rack??? maybe I live in a different world but nope I won't be buying this one! (the slates underneath are not part of it, just the slab of wood!)
