Normality Resumed


Hi folks

I'm home from my wee house sitting stint and things are back to normal again in our household.  I've been parcelling up the last of my craft stuff that I've sold on ebay, phew, it was quite a marathon!

Last week I spent a few days at my son & DILs as they were on holiday and my DIL's Mum doesn't like being there alone.  The weather was lovely, in patches, and I took some piccies from their sitting room window.  The autumn colours are just stunning.




If you look closely at the last picture you will see a little white bridge.  You've to come over it to get up the drive and there's a lovely little stream under it.  When I was there last week it was more like a raging torrent after the rain we had before I arrived.  Isn't nature wonderful.  Quite often they get a family of deer come into their garden but unfortunately I just saw baby and by the time I found my phone to take a picture, he'd disappeared!

The youngsters came back from holiday on Tuesday - here's a before and after!!!

Monday - beach at Grand Moon Palace Resort, Cancun

Wednesday - home - just look at the mist!

Oh well, that's all for today.  I'm off now to have some lunch then catch up with last week's episode of Homefront before tonight.  

Take care!

Surprises!


Morning Girls & Boys!

I am able to be back upstairs at the computer as Mr C found and disposed of the black beastie with 8 legs!!!  What a beautiful day here, very frosty first thing but the sun is shining brightly now.  I'm off out for the day with my friend and Mr C is golfing with her husband.  

It's time to draw the candy so here are the winners.  Your surprises will be in the post in the next couple of days.

Hope you have a lovely day everyone.  Will be back soon.

Update, Ebay & Candy


Hi everyone!

I was going to write this update last night but there was a rather large black beastie with eight legs skittering about the floor and as my knight in shining armour was at work I decided to shut down the computer and go back downstairs!  It's nowhere to be seen this morning so I'm being brave ....

Just to let anyone who's interest know, there is more stash on ebay.  I was extremely lucky last time as I managed to sell all my items which gave me lots of money for the bedroom makeover.  What do you think of it?  I have to admit I love it and as this bedroom has two windows it's lovely a bright. 


I am off to my son and DIL's today until Saturday.  They are away on holiday and my DIL's mother doesn't like being on her own all the time in their big house.  I was there for 3 days last week too.  They are back on Tuesday so not long for her to go now.  The pair of them are in Mexico and thoroughly enjoying it.  Thankfully there's not been a hurricane while they've been there this time.  We were all caught up in Dean when we were there last time for our DD wedding.  Never a dull moment in our lives!

Just in case you are all thinking I'm languishing on the settee watching TV instead of crafting, I have to tell you that I'm busy knitting.  There are a few babies due again and also Christmas is just around the corner.  I have cardis to knit for my Spanish charity too.  A friend is coming over from Spain to stay with us for a week and I'll give her some to take back with her.  I've also got another project in mind and I'll post about it once it's finished.  

Last but by no means least, I have a few parcels to give away to some lucky people who were kind enough to follow my blog when I was crafting.  To be in with a chance please leave me a comment and I'll draw the winners on Monday 8 October.

Hugs
