Only the Best, Ha!
The Garden Party in Full swing

At Myerscough Country Fair I found this cutie!
Me watching the Dog Show.
On the boat on way back we stopped to feed the Swan family.
Scenes like this are why we have the boat!

What a great week  we had last week and now this week seems so quiet !
The Jubilee Garden Party at our house went really well ,everyone enjoyed the many games and all the food, there really was so much but we had the best fed birds in the whole neighbourhood for a few days after with scraps.

The nice thing was there was a real feel of a happy occasion and a good mix of ages so there was lots of laughter going on and Nigel my brother in law is a born Game Show host without a doubt.  Peter was so funny with a Mike in his hand as the Bingo caller!
On Sunday we went out on the boat, which is now running smoothly again, as far up as Bilsborrow and had a great time at the college Country fair and it did'nt rain infact it was sunny!

On the way back we sat and enjoyed the beauty of an English canal on a June Day...perfect!

    It was wonderful being part of the jubilee party, so glad that you and peter had the idea. We will be able to look back and tell our grandchildren how we celebrated! Glad you managed to relax after the hectic festivities too, the animal photos are great.

In the footsteps of Nella Last.

Spark Bridge Terrace at Brantwood Over Coniston Lake Walney Island near Barrow From Brantwood across Coniston Teatime with a view at Brantwood. cheeky robin who liked our cakes! Nella Last's home in Barrow from where  she wrote her wartime diaries. How time flies, can it really be a week since we returned from a short break up in the Lake District. The weather could not have been better and we made the most of the glorious sunshine and clear blue skies and explored the area around Ulverston and Barrow. I have been reading and throughly enjoying the wartime diaries of Nella Last,a lady who wrote for the Mass Observation project set up in WW2. She was real character and her diaries are so entertaining to pick up and immerse yourself into. We found her house in Ilkley Road, Barrow and then went on some favourite car journeys that she liked to take during the 1940s and 50s, one being the coast road route from Barrow to Coniston, via Spark Bridge a place ...

Fieldfare and a visit from Jack!

With the ground being so hard after the recent snow and ice I threw down some of the apples I had been storing from our tree since October. That was yesterday and today the fieldfare flew in and spent the day gorging himself on the them. We just about managed a few shots, as he was very shy and the magpies kept bothering him, trying to get to the fruit as well. I wonder is it the same one who came at this time last year? Jack Frost came too and left us a beautiful vision in ice painting on the gate . I well remember scenes like that from my childhood but then it was on the inside of our bedroom windows at Corton! It is a very good time for birdwatching , today I saw Goldfinches as well. Most of our snow has gone but we may not be out of the woods yet as another weather front of snow and low temperatures is on the way.

The Green eyed cat on the green furry mat!

Just thought I would share these photos of our cat Ollie who was so so happy that I put the fire on when  I got back from the shops this afternoon . It was a nice sunny morning and then suddenly all change and it went gloomy and chilly and breezy! Still these kind of days can make you get on with some  jobs you have been putting off for a while and that's  what I did, I cleared the study! Yesterday  while out shopping I found the cutest little Christmas decorations ,the little deer and trees you see in the pictures above . Best of all they were only 99p a packet and they are the only additions to my stock of decorations that I intend to make this year, as I have enough! I usually love this time of year, the preparation leading up to the festivities but with mum lying so ill and increasingly frail I fear that this Christmas will see us going through the motions and thats about all . On Tuesday night we were just about to leave to go across ...
