Geoff’s coming of age parties….

As most of you know it was Geoff’s big birthday at the
week-end.
He had a full day of activities planned and they all went very well even if we did get a bit behind schedule at one time.
My favorite part of the day was going to see Taming of the shrew in the [...]

A Big Thank you…

Thank you ,to all you lovely wonderful people, people I would like to call my friends.
In my hour of need you have all been there for me and it has helped me more than you could ever know.
We are all coping and grieving in our own way but are there for each other when needed.

A time of mourning ….

This is hard to say so straight to the point.
Had a very unexpected phone call on Monday night from my ex’s girlfriend.
He was killed in a pile up on the M5 while riding his motor bike.
Now we had been separated almost 3 years but this came as a great shock, especially as I then had to tell my [...]

Birthday Cake… stage two.

Today I got the marzipan and icing on, so can relax a little now.
Just got to tidy it up and smarten the top up.
Must say it smelt real delish, if it tastes as good I will be well pleased.
Geoff has a real full day planned for his Birthday and I am so looking forward [...]

"Everything comes to those that wait"

 
At last after months of nagging and waiting, my garden is all fenced in again.
I came home from work on Thursday and the workmen had been and gone, but from what I can see they have done a good job.
Not only did they re-place the 2 missing panels but they also re-placed the damaged ones too.
So that’s [...]

Another door opens……

Every year I get the part time college book.
Every year I think I will do a course, always the same course but for many reasons I never have.
This year I got the book and this year I have been and signed up for the course.
A year long body massage course.
What makes this year any [...]
