It's that time of the year........

It's that time of the year, Bruce has had man flu, kindly given it to me, and we have Jake home from school with tonsillitis. I know the boy is poorly he's not eating!!! So I have him home to look after for a few days ;-))

Like me he's allergic to penicillin and the penicillin substitute, so it just has to take its natural course................... 

what better excuse to snuggle up on the sofa and watch DVD's in the afternoon ;-))

A sigh of relief, it's over

After lots of these...............................

were loaded into one of these

then unloaded

our new garden ;-))

we can now breathe a sigh of relief and we have all this...........................

Jez yearning to get into the sea

this is what he's trying to get to

my boys........ Andrew in red and Jake in grey

setting off to walk to Craster

This is how the Northumberland coast can look................... today we walked up to Dunstanburgh Castle in the driving rain waterproofs still not dry and the dog still ignoring us but, it was good to be outside and walking the coast.

Below is a picture of a group of very talented ladies but more about that later.

I am happier than I have been for a couple of years, I have no job, it's bucketing down outside, dark nights are on their way far too quickly, but I live near the sea, I am a volunteer gardener at Howick Hall, we are closer to Jake, it's still a 180 mile round trip, but we are closer!!

I think I am one of the luckiest people around.....................................................................
