Here I go again, almost 2 and half years since my last post. Some things have changed but I am still working at Mencap but on  reduced contract of 10 hours. Not that you would know as I did 20 last week. Mom is still with us but needing more help now, has more appointments which is one of the reasons for the reduced contract. The other big reason is that I was working lots of weekends and didn't see much of Les.

Talking of Les he had an accident last September when we were on Holiday in Egypt and fell on his shoulder. That resulted in him being off work for 6 months and having an operation. He is back at work for the moment but don't think he will be able to do it in the long term., Not sure what will happen.

I still make cards and do my cross stitch, have to have some way to relax.

How have two years gone past since I last put anything on here? Far from blogging more I've done less but will try to post more often. I am still working with learning disability which I enjoy most of the time.

    

 

This is me meeting with my penfriend Kay while we were on holiday in September in Norfolk. We have been writing to each other for 19 years through good times and bad, but had never met before. We got on so well as did our husbands and it was a pleasure to meet her.

Well I can't believe how much tinme has past since I posted on here. Wheredoes the time go? We had a lovely Christmas with eating and drinking. I hope to post much more often in the New Year. Our lovely grandchildren enjoyed opening their presents but didn't know what to play with first. I managed to get through the day with out being photograped at all.

Here are two recent cards

Talk about an appropriate t-shirt!!!!!

I can't believe that it was October the last time I posted on here. We have been on holiday twice since then once to Tunisia and once to Turkey.

First picture of the nine of us that went to Turkey back in March, we had fun. Second picture of us taken in Tunisia last November. I'm glad to say that it was before the uprising that happened there. Don't think that I would want to go now

Now to update you with pics of the grandchildren, taken last week. They sure are growing up fast. Danny-Lewis is almost four and Ashton 9th months now. The other big kid in the photos is Uncle Adam aged 19

Not posted anything for a while so I thought it was time that updated you with things. First I have been busy making christmas cards so I will post a few on here.These were all made using decoupage from Joanna Sheen

Latest photos of my two darling grandsons taken last week. Danny-Lewis had just enjoyed a ice cream from the van that seems to come down our street every time he is at our house. Ashton is now 7 months old

Gosh!!! I an hardly believe that the last time that I posted on here was in April. Since then we have been on holiday to Cyprus for two weeks and had a good time. I haven't had time for much crafting but hope to get going again soon. The phot above is of me with a cat that took a fancy to me while we were in a restuarant (or did he really want my meal?)

Ashton taken last week, he is now 4 months old and a very happy baby.

Here is Danny-Lewis and Grandad taken last sunday. That face is a smile (more like Gromit!!!)

He started nursery last Thursday and he loves it, just wondered why he can't go today.

A couple more photos from Turkey. Just to prove
that we did see the sun

Here we are on holiday in Turkey. The hotel and the food and the weather were all great. It was good to see some sunshine.

In the photo are Sam, Adam me and Les. Notice all the cocktails. I'd never had a cocktail before

This is a mini book that i Made for my daughters birthday

Here are Danny-Lewis and his little brother Ashton, brotherly love. How long will that last?

.

This is Ashton a week on.

We have braved the cold today and been to Rufford Park for a walk in the snow. It was cold but beautiful and I think Les went back to his second childhood. He really enjoyed himself

This is my attempt at the big challenge for Paper Dolls

Well, we have more snow here than I can remember for years. Its great when you are inside and just looking out.

Here are a couple of cards that I have made for my grandsons 3rd birthday and for my Mum
