Hubby and I were on holiday yesterday so that we could spend sometime with my Mam on her birthday and just chill out as we have both been very busy at work and its not likely to relent anytime soon either. My Mam loved her cake and slow cooker! I made her a Wimbledon ‘tennis’ themed card and she got all excited as she thought we’d got her some tickets – how disappointed she was when she opened it a saw just a verse! Hopefully we will hear soon if we have tickets though.
The rest of the day was spent just wandering around the local shops and eating a footlong meatball marinara in subway (its the first and last time I will be greedy!).
Got back and we had missed the postie so I had to get up early this morning - well before 10.30 – to go and collect the parcel. It was some lovely diecut decoupage images I had ordered. They are lovely and will make some beautiful cards as they are roses, clematis and daffodils and are photo realistic.
We did our usual Saturday afternoon routine and went to Peter Barratts Garden Centre for lunch. The garden centre was pretty quiet but the cafe was busy. I cant wait for the warmer weather so we can get out in the garden again. I’m at my most creative when I sitting crafting outside.
I think I’ve finally decided on a campsite (Coombe Caravan Park) to visit later in the year as we want to go back to Longleat and have found a campsite near Salisbury which is only an hour from Longleat. It’s also only an hour from Bath in one direction and Bournemouth in the other. So we should be able to visit a few places. I think we’ll go sometime at the end of June – if only we could guarantee the weather since we are under canvas. Now that we have the bunnies I need to find a boarding place for them, I have found one online in Hexham so we’ll have to visit and see what its like. Putting the cat and bunnies into lodgings will be about £150 for a week, but I am happy to pay it for peace of mind.
After a little visit to my Mam’s today we just went back home and perched ourselves in front of the fire as the weather wasnt the best to be wandering around outside. Hubby promptly went to sleep for about 2 hours whilst I sorted out the scrapbooking which I want to get done from our Wedding and Honeymoon. I’ve sorted out all of the photos I have printed (probably about 1000!) and hope to get cracking on the scrapping tomorrow morning when Hubby is at work.
I have recently received my Penny Black valentine’s stamps which I’m going to use for hubby’s card (hopefully he wont read this!). I got them from www.sirstampalot.co.uk . Just in case he does read this blog, I’ll not put the completed card on here until he has received it! They are stamps we saw at the paper mill shop, and he liked them.
We were watching Noel’s HQ on sky one tonight and I have never seen him get so annoyed by something. A council has refused planning permission for a young lad who was badly injured while serving in Afghanistan and his grandparents would like to build him a bungalow on their land. To cut a long story short all of the neighbours are happy about this however the council are not willing to move on the rules. Noel Edmonds got really annoyed about the whole thing and to right he should. No doubt by next weeks show the Council will have changed their mind as even Gordon Brown could see how ridiculous this was. Politics aside we need to look after our soldiers.
I see my blog ‘hits’ are gradually increasing – so thank you for reading my chitter and please feel to comment so I know there is someone out there!
Goodnight
