Spoke to Phil yesterday, won't speak now till later. He has visitors arriving from Kent.

Its a miserable day too so please mr weather man make the sun shine later for Auntie Jean!!

Shaun....thnk you for thephoto, the one you have by your pc.l will add it to the blog, but l think it may well be on there somewhere's .. The manager took a few pics on various camera's. That was a really nice meeting too:)

Bethan...how was the cake, bet its all gone. Can't remember the last time l baked a cake, the kids used to get all sorts of shapes, houses, footballs, caterpillers etc...those were the days ah:)

Von .....good to see you, hope you are ok?

Sandie...take care:)

Hazel...hope you are ok, hows your son?

Diane...you take care too??

Tec.....how are you both. ??

We have a pair of Bullfinches that visit quite often...yehhh they LOVE the DANDILIONS...we suddenly see little bits of fluffy seed thingies floating inthe air and low and behold there they are:))) beautiful. Have taken pics but not very good ones.
My course is very slow, started playing with camera abit, but not had alot of time.

Ok off for another cuppa.

Vic still not good with his chest after that blinky cold.

Ooooo the house we looked at was very interesting, needs alot of thought though. We don't want to move really but this is a bungalow (no stairs..yehh) and a downsize :((((...plus the situation re cars round here is getting silly, not that we are actually effected as we have a drive, but it annoys me, one neighbour has no thought for anyone but themselves...grrrr

back later .

I have been reading back so sorry this maybe a long post lol

Sandie:Did you sort your letter box out ? in my last place any high wind and our letter box would start knocking , the agent never sorted it as it need replacing so I did a blue peter job of using sticky back plastic lol Hope you not in pain at mo .

Jude: I will be sending a donations in Jeans name to all four you mentioned as each one I normally donate too as each have affected family members in the past and on going also animal ones I do regularly too . Looks like swans manager is staying yay I however have a first team and that is Man utd and as long as I can remember Fergie was there so I was a little sad he has now retired. Na I'm not a gem I was brought up with the thought of if people need help either emotional or anything else which I have to try and help so I do :) How are you and Vic feeling ? How was house viewing ?

Morning:)))

Can't sleep, too much excitement here all day!!

Shaun....yeh sounds like you have had a brill time, so pleased your mum enjoyed herself, bless her cotton socks. What a close family you are:) You must be shattered now though.
l printed that lovely poem you added on here, did you write it?? will take a copy to the funeral on Wednesday in case there is time for it to be read!

Bethan...thanks for your update, do hope your family member is ok, sounds like you are a gem in helping everyone, take care.


Sandie...you ok?? do hope your back is'nt playing up more than the other day. Have you been to the doctors??
From what you were saying its a good thing you do live in a bungalow.

l mentioned the other day if anyone wanted to gather at Abergavenny.......well it could be next week or the week after....any suggestions??
Sue is interested but it depends on when and whether her daughter has given birth or not and where Sue will be at the time.

Hope everyone is ok:))

Shaun...got your email:)

Evening all ,

It's been a busy few days and this will be continuing for next few weeks.
There is a family issue for someone's health which is affecting a lot of lives at the mo so plans are ever changing and trying to be a support not just for them but the main people effected .
I have not had a chance to read back yet as planned to read back after food tonight and bf parents popped in and only just left ! It will be my bf birthday tomorrow he is turning 32 so tonight waiting for him to go to sleep so I can get his gifts and cards out with banners and football shaped balloons lol
Today is one of my best mates birthday but we are going out during week for her birthday and another night catching up with a mate for food so busy busy busy .
I have decided to bake bf a birthday cake so will be doing that tomorrow and maybe on top drawing a footy pitch or something , I have the picture in my head but goodness knows what it will actually look like.
Chavs next door are behaving as much as they do but at the same time very annoying.
Cats are good and loving the sun when it shows Nutkin is normally found sunbathing while Leo is in the long grass (needs mowing !) hunting bees or anything else that fly's lol

Right that's all for now sorry not named everyone but hope all are well.

Bethan <3 <3 <3 <3

Hello All You Lovely Folk :-))))
Sorry I have neglected you today but I have a good excuse, I had 11 emails in my in - box and thought it was about time I replied to them, I have 7 yet to answer because I went astray and sent emails to peeps instead, so I have not empted the in – box, are you following this cos I'm not :-(((
Anyway I must get them sorted soon, most of them are to do with family history, a couple of them are going to be a bit blunt because I went to the trouble in attaching a lot of family information including photos and I have not even had a thank you for them, just asking for more.
I do not mind sharing my research but you do get some that will take everything an not give you a thing which winds me up a bit.

We all had a lovely day on Sunday , loads to eat, plenty of laughter and chats.
Once we had cleaned up after consuming our roast lamb, all the trimmings and treacle suit pudding we retired to the living room to listen to male voice chores from Cornwall and Wales:-))))
Mum, was in a bit of discomfort with her arthritic ribcage and she had to have a quick fix from her puffer because of her asthma , other and that she was loving it . Then we listened to songs of praise from St. Davids and Mum could not get over that the hymns that were being sung was her favourites so she went into overdrive and entertained as with her singing :-)))))))))) another fix from her puffer then she settled down for a sherry trifle and cakes for tea, we all had eaten far to much.

Once we had all mucked in with the washing up and tidying up it was time for home which was about 8.30 -ish.

It was a long day and a lot of sitting which was not good for me but I did get up now and again to stretch my legs and stood behind my high chair for spells, it was all worth it , just to see Mum so happy.:-)))))

Hope you are all managing okay.
I past on all your good wishes and she was very touched, thank you, I think I have said that before

You all take care.

Night Night

<3 Shaun

Sandie hope your back is not giving you to much pain <3
Sue, hope recovery is going to plan and your not in to much discomfort <3
Also hope daughter is coping okay.
