hello .... goodbye ....

see you in a little over a week, hubby and I are going here for our early tenth wedding anniversary.

Jealous much!

I am a very lucky lady...

he brought me pink gerberas.

holidays

It is nearly the end of the first week of school holidays and the kids have been sick!
Oliver with croup and a nasty ear infection. He has never been this sick ever.
And now poor Ella has a tummy bug and can't keep anything down.

So I thought it might be nice to look at some pretty pictures.
My Mum is into growing Orchids at the moment.
And has some lovely flowers coming on...

And wee Ella in her last week of term had a bash at some flower arranging too...

All the veg are from our garden.

And this is her hedgehog "Savage".

If you are on holiday, I hope you are having a good time.
Maybe next week will be better for my munchkins!

post!

I love getting stuff in the post, who doesn't!



This is from Suse of Pea Soup.
Four delicious sea green and blue gray balls of yummyness!



We decided on our own little swap after she saw the stitch markers I had made for a friends birthday.
I love this yarn, and had first thought of using it for a gift.
But I don't think I can part with it and really should knit something for myself.

So now I have to decide what to do with it!
I keep going here to look at this lovely shawl knitted by Amanda at Jolie House.
It would be a first for me to knit something like that so I am a tad nervous so I think I will take my time with this project.
Lots and lots of cups of tea should help!

I can so see Miss Ella in this gorgeous outfit, although I don't think her socks would stay up like that!
