7 months on and it's September 2015

Well ....
i guess i haven't got this blogger thing fathomed out and i don't think i will. I am not interested in making money by trying to work out hits and such like...  i'm not sure about blogs and what they are for, to me they are an insight into someones life and interests and hobbies. I don't know  if anyone reads it or what they feel by reading it, but as i look back on the photos and rather limited things i have blogged,( hangs head in shame ) it brings back some lovely memories, and that just suits me fine.

So what have i been up to???...well good question, if i had blogged i would have an online diary to look back on, but i haven't and so i have lost 6 months of memories- what more inspiration could you need. Can you feel where this is going - a pledge to commit some more postings..hmm-mm intentions are always good.

I will start with our Silver wedding Anniversary back in July.
We kept it very low key despite the fact i love  planning and organizing party's down to the finest detail. The day started off well with a glass of Champagne, a Salmon Bagel, Beautiful Flowers and some Concert Tickets to see Jack Savoretti in Bristol in October!!!!



We decided to mark the day by doing something simple that we hadn't actually done before and that was to walk across The Clifton Suspension Bridge. It may not sound very adventurous unless you suffer from vertigo......and yes that would be a hand up from me.




It was incredibly high but the views were beautiful,  i managed to get some shots although i think i was at least 6 foot away from the barriers!! Andy kept peering over which caused me to panic and tell him off as i kept my eyes firmly on the floor.

It was also the start of the Bristol Shaun the Sheep trail and we manged to find a few in Clifton,


 



I'm looking forward to seeing the rest as they are all being herded up and moved to Cribs Causeway Shopping Center before being Auctioned off to raise funds for the Children s Hospital. We purchased this little chap Sir Gromit of Bristol as a lasting keepsake of our Anniversary Memories, we thought him fitting as he is Silver, he cost us £25.00 each- and the money of course was going to a great cause.

introducing Geraldine my first knitted project....

Well i have been clickety clicking away ... i have felt a bit under the weather this week so after doing all the chores i have been ensconced on the settee wrapped up in my nice throw watching the box set of friends that my eldest son bought us all last December as an early Christmas pressie. Inspired by Mrs Bond of woolly words i have been busy knitting and then re knitting as things regularly went wrong...odd sized legs, knee joints in thighs..head knitted in wrong color wool...(typo pattern error that one) , but finally.. not perfect by any means of the imagination, i have knitted my first ever project...so with great Tralaaaa's i introduce Geraldine... She was knitted in Dk wool that i picked up nice and cheap from the Range, and the pattern is a King cole Halloween one, there are also patterns on the sheet for pumpkins, cat and spiders.... i may knit a cat to keep her company as now my project is finished my hands are twitching for something to do. I must admit despite the

Where is April going??????????????

Image
Its already the 15th of April and the month is half gone, who has the last 14 days??? So i'm trying to rack my little brain cells and think what has passed since i last blogged. well the wedding and the pictures are still at the forefront, such a lovely day that you cant just forget about it in a hurry. i have found an album in my stash of crafting goodies that will be a perfect little keepsake so i shall start working on that soon, I've managed to get some really nice pictures so with a little bit of cropping and editing i think i will have a lovely album to give as a special gift to my brother and sister in law. The boys have been home from school but i have been at work on and off so once again i have done boo diddly squat with my little men. They have contented themselves mostly with bouncing on the trampoline that hubby rebuilt... the springs are a bit rusty where they had been hiding in a black bin liner, but it is working well, i just need to get a cover to go over

sad times and baking

Haven't been on here for a bit, we have had some very sad news concerning my father in law who has been battling cancer for the last 5 years.... unfortunately he has taken a turn for the worse and is currently being cared for by our local hospice, and now sadly it is just a matter of time. We have been reading all the reports of Britain in the big freeze and that the entire country is frozen or covered in snow.... well that would be all of Great Britain then..apart from Weston super mare... where i have not seen one little flurry of whiteness!! Not that I'm complaining because it does cause traffic problems and minor injuries, but a pretty sprinkle would have been nice. I've been  baking in the  week, I've made several loaves of bread..plus .some bread rolls that could have been used for throwing at coconuts..i didn't give them to the birds they would have probably choked. i did make some chocolate nut brownies which were a success, and i made some lemon meringu
