WHERE HAS THE TIME GONE SINCE sEPTEMBER

Lyn and I have been out and about ~ now that the nights have started to draw in
It is really dark by 4.30pm ~ so to get the most out of the day we have to start
early ~

So I have spent much less time on the computer than I did ~
but now I seem to have a little extra time so I must get my Blog back up to date ~
I could not recount all the things we have done other than to tell you where ever
we go we seem to get lost ~ the narrow country lanes look all the same and it is
so easy to take the wrong turn ~ but somehow (I don’t know how) we find our way
back home ~

The Countryside is so beautiful at this time of the year ~ the colours on the
trees are breathtaking ~ It certainly is worthwhile just taking a drive out to see them ~

I'll try to write more next time so until then take care of yourselves ~

It seems ages since I updated my Blog

Lyn and I have been out and about just lately, we went on a coach trip to Bressingham Steam Museum ~ and had a wonderful day out the Sun Shone non stop all day, ~ We ended the day with a meal at a Hotel which was very good ~

Then last week we went to Cromer (a small seaside town) once again we went on a coach trip and this time we visited the End of the Pier show ~ there was a very steep descent to the pier which was easy going down but the thought of having to climb it when the show was over was a bit daunting :o) we had a great day out and once again the weather was good for us ~ we ended the day with a Fish and Chip evening meal ~ and had some very good company the people on the Coach we have met before so it was good fun meeting up agaim ~ (The picture above if taken looking out to sea)

The Children are now back at School so should have more time to devote to my Blog ~ But it has been great having them here during the Summer Holidays ~

My Sick Computer

My poor computer is sick and will go into computer hospital tomorrow ~ while I shall sit here lost without it :o)

I hope I wont be without it for long ~

I am lucky to have two more to use here ~ but isn't it strange how different someone elses computer is to your own ~

Dicks Camera

Sunday, 2 August 2009 Dick's Camera I had to make a note of what happened with Dick's Camera ~ it is now over six years since he left us and we miss him so very much ~ I knew where the camera was but never thought about what may be hidden inside ~ Tom my Grandson realised there was a spool stilll inside the camera so suggested we take it to the shop and get it developed ~ so we took it to a shop in Fakenham I never thought for one moment that it could still be developed ~ the man in the shop had difficulty removing the spool and told us the camera was broken ~ I suppose after six years of just laying around it had deteriorated ~ so I had little hope of any of the pictures coming out ~ The following week we returned to Fakenham and Tom went into the shop to pick the pictures up ~ I fully expected none of them to come out ~ But they did ~ each and everyone of them even some that Tom had taken to finish up spool up ~ They were mostly of the Grandchildren they were just babies but it was so good to see them and there was one of Dick and myself sitting on the Sofa celebrating one Christmas ~ You can imagine how pleased we were ~ Tom and I stood outside the shop looking at the pictures ~ we were just so pleased and happy I cannot tell you how pleased we both were ~ It was like having him back ~ I wonder if he planned this for us so long after he left us ~ I like to think he did ~ There was one very Happy Wife Daughter and Grandson ~ who could have thought such a small thing could bring so much happiness ~

see how my garden grows ~ Continued :o)

I do hope these pictures come out ~

See how my Garen Grows

It has been a lovely Sunny day today so I took some pictures in the Garden The Apple tree is so full of fruit the branches nearly touch the ground ~ As for my Grape Vine which is in the Greenhouse I have never seen so many bunches of Grape on it as it has this year ~ funnily enough Lyn didn't prune it back this year so I am very pleased at the outcome ~ Will be able to make some Apple and Grape Wine when they are both Ripe ~ Hope everyone is well ~ I have been having some problems with my computer but they all seem to be sorted now ~ I hope so I hate being with out my PC ~ Do you remember the tub Barney was sitting on Sunning himself ~ well this is the Plant that eventually grew up we sould have some potato's to dig up soon :o)

Barney and Sam

Here Barney is lapping up the Sunshine ~ That tub he is sitting in has a potato planted in it ~ he has never sat in a tub before ~ well not one with soil in it ~ he do'es look comfortable though I must say :o)

when I was at the Hospital a couple of weeks ago because I had fractured my wrist ~ Tom my Grandson came in with Sam my Great Grandson who had been in a Rugby tackle at school and injured his foot ~

Sam has been in the wars as two weeks ago he was riding his friends Cycle and the front wheel came off ~ it all happened so quickly and he hit the pavement and knocked himself out his friend had the presence of mind to ring an ambulance and contact the police and he even rang Cressie Sam's Mum to let her know what had happened ~ when you think he is only 14 years old I think he did very well ~ Sam fractured his left hand (and he is left handed) and his face was cut very badly ~ but I am glad to say he is healing very quickly ~ and lapping up being waited on hand and foot :o)

I hope that is the end of the accidents ~ Times I wish we could wrap them in cotton wool ~ but I know that is not possible ~
