Hello and you are welcome! Well you are a friend! What's the bet you get my names muddled up and I'll be Daffy Teapot! haha
It's pretty isn't it! Lots of choice too! Hope you are having an Up! week so far! xx more…
Hello Sally thanks for the invite to be a friend. I like this layout and blog title.
What a nice story to brighten up what has been a really dreary day here! xx more…
I always thought it was a rather unfortunate name... She's so pretty!
I was quite taken with the name Fly! If I ever get an other dog, it will be called Fly.
Thanks for the visit! more…
I eargerly look forward to my son arriving with my grandaughter aged 3, as though I was a puppy waiting to be taken 'walkies' (as though I'm going to be having all the fun ) .
But they always arrive thirsty and hungry and in need of my undivided attention, so I'm 'feeding and watering' and listeneing to tales of woe and playing 'snap' and dan more…
Aha.. they bring such joy. My boy is nearly 18. (Not as close to it as he keeps telling me though) and as I've mentioned, my daughter is 13. She wanders around with earphones in too. My aunt thought she had a hearing problem... I said yhat she does. She has a problem with having to listen to us! more…
I know how you feel. My son visits me once or twice a week and I get all excited looking forward to chatting. What does he do, he sits on the computer with his head phones in sigh.........
He's 21 by the way. Kids eh? more…
Mr Flighty thanks for that good news! :o)
My dad has heard something very simlar... August is going to continue to be wet. Although it's also very warm!
Ah, you thought I was swearing about the tree for a moment...no but I might have swore about the sodd**g weather. more…
It looks like being the wettest August in over 100 years so I agree that some sunshine would be nice.
Perhaps we'll get an Indian summer this autumn to make up for for what has been a pretty dismal summer.
I like the photos, especially the birdbath with the ripples. For a moment there I thought that you'd written 'The sodd..g tree'! more…
Are there such things? Deckchair salesmen?
"Try this stripey one madam..."
Yes, you are so right! I see you have that talent for seeking out the good too. more…
Your mum was right. Look on the bright side. At least we won't have a hosepipe ban this year, and there's no scorched grass. It's tough on deck chair salesmen though................ more…
I think I have similar thoughts as you on the shopping. I want to go to Lidl all the time but I think I would miss certain things. Is that a form of snobbery? I hope not, I've never thought of myself that way but there is something about the familiarity of the popular brand names. I wonder if I have made connections to my youth with my shopping more…
yuk, how you eat gooseberries (my mum used to call them goosegogs!!)...i remember as a kid having to pick them out of the garden!!!...i know what you mean about sainsbury's and the credit crunch...i've had to go to ASDA...god i hat that place!!...too many cutomers, crap staff, isles to narrow!!!...erh makes me shiver but have to go!
We did ha more…
Hello Mr Flighty, I did think they looked a little over-ripe. I always thought Gooseberries were very green but it seems this is a normal colour (??)
Watching my kids faces as they tried the gooseberries gave me the impression they weren't too keen either!
Thank you for the welcome. more…
That's such a shame about your fruit trees!
They look like grapes rather than gooseberries! I say that I don't like them but it's years since I've eaten any so perhaps it's time to try again.
Welcome to blog.co.uk, and happy blogging! more…
Thanks you. I'm just finding my way around and as you may have noticed. I managed to find your blog before I found your comment!
Enjoy your upcoming 'me-time'. more…
