9th Jan

Today was the first time I think this year that we have woken to glorious blue sky.

6th Jan rain rain and more rain

Needed this all day today .

The decorations are down

Have been suffering with a cold so not been feeling on top of the world but have managed to take a photo a day.

Here is the one from yesterday.  Really surprised to see these flowers in the garden after the freezing temperatures we have had.

Today the POTD had to be the decorations.

New Year

Well here we are in a New Year.  Hopefully I will blog a bit more frequently this year.  I am hoping to take a photo every day this year and may post some of them here.  We have been quite busy since the beginning of the year.  Family left mid morning on NYD and so some time was spent tidying up after 2 toddlers!  Lovely to have them though as we don't see them that often and they grow up so quickly.

I sorted my January page for the calendar challenge I am continuing with.  Really enjoyed doing it so am doing it again.  Must take a photo of the finished December pages.

Today we have been to Bridport.  A lovely town with wide streets.  Lots of driving though but it was good to get out and about although it did turn a bit chilly.

calendar challenge

Still doing the calendar challenge from this website http://thekathrynwheel.blogspot.com/  and
loving it.   Almost finished July pages

and have been getting ready for August

although not quite finished yet.  I often finish the  title and such like throughout the month but at least I have the background done and the squares stuck on ready.  Had actually meant this to be yellow and purple but it didn't quite work out that way.  Better luck next time.

birthday card

Actually done a bit of crafting today.  A 40th birthday/gift card for my son in law.

Did the basic card about 4 years ago when I first started scrapping but never had any matching card/paper to finish it.

flowers in my garden

I have been doing a bit of blog hopping and seeing the beautiful flowers on a friends blog decided to take some of the flowers in my garden.

Check out this blog 
http://whatsthisiseethen.blogspot.com/    for my inspiration.


 

Having a bit of trouble today with photo placement and writing so this will have to do for now.

holidays

The prompts this week are about holidays.  I haven't been away for a long holiday yet this year but we do go away for the odd weekend.  In the meantime we went out for a walk on Sunday and hardly saw a soul.  It was lovely and just like being on holiday as the sky was blue and we hadn't done this particular walk before. 

Here I am on the way up.

Here we are at the top.

On the way down we some some lovely violets.

Afterwards Mr and Mrs N stopped at a coffee shop and had cake.  I didn't get to see any of it though - not even crumbs. :(
